Blockade of 5-HT3 receptor with Bemesetron (MDL7222) reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced neurotoxicity in cultured rat cortical cells. Bemesetron (0.01, 0.1 and 1 μM, 15 hours) and Y25130 (0.05, 0.5 and 5 μM) concentration-dependently reduce the H2O2-induced decrease of MTT reduction showing 74.9±2.4 and 79.0 ±2.5% with 1 μM and 5 μM, respectively, which are maximal effects.
Pretreatment (20 minutes) with Bemesetron (1 μM), Y25130 (5 μM) or MK-801 (10 μM) significantly, but not completely, inhibits the H2O2-induced elevation of [Ca]c.
Bemesetron (1 μM, 15 hours) significantly blocks the H2O2-induced increase of caspase-3 immunoreactivity.
Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
