摘要
Previous studies have shown that hederacolchiside-E from Pulsatilla koreana has neuroprotective effects and cognition-enhancing effects. Subsequently, in the current study, we demonstrate that oral administrations of oleanolic-glycoside saponins enriched fraction from P. koreana, designated as SK-PC-B70M, improve impairments in memory consolidation and spatial working memory by systemic injection of scopolamine, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist. In a step-through avoidance task, when the rats stepped through a dark chamber in a shuttle box, an electric shock was given and then SK-PC-B70M was administered 30 min later. Twenty-four hours later, the rats were placed in an illuminated chamber. The rats with SK-PC-B70M treatments showed longer response latencies than rats with only scopolamine. Spatial working memory was measured with a trial-unique matching-to-place task in a water maze which assessed memory for place information over varying lengths of delays. Three delay lengths were used: 1 min, 5 min, and 3 h. In comparison with the control rats, the rats with scopolamine treatments took significantly longer to find the platform in the second trial with 1- and 5-min delays. The rats with both scopolamine and SK-PC-B70M had significantly less search error compared with the rats with scopolamine only. These findings indicate that SK-PC-B70M has effects on reversing impairments of memory consolidation and working memory impairments induced by scopolamine. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
