Abstract:
Objective: To study the concentration of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) in rat hippocampus after intranasal administration, and to inveategate the improvement on cognitive dysfunction of rats with cerebral ischemic treated by intranasal administration of Sal B and its mechnisms. Methods: HPLC method was employed to check the distribution of Sal B in hippocampus by intranasal administration. Sal B was intranasal administered after one week of cerebral ischemia. The effect of Sal B by intranasal administration on cognitive dysfuctiopn was checked using Morris water maze. The effect of Sal B by intranasal administration on the hippocampus morphological characteristics was studied using Cresyl violet (Nissl) staining. BrdU injection and immunohistochemical staining were used to test the effect of Sal B on the neurogensis in hippocampus of cerebral ischemic rats. Results: After intranasal administration of Sal B, the Cmax of Sal B was (2.47 ± 0.55) μg/g, and the AUC of Sal B was (336.4 ± 73.0) μg∙min/g. Morris water maze test results showed that Sal B by intranasal administration could reduce the average escape latency of cerebral ischemic rats, increase the time in the former platform quadrant and the time of rats across the platform. Compared with the Sham group, the hippocampal CA1 cell layers were reduced and the pyramidal cells showed an irregular arrangement in the model group. Compared with model group, hippocampal morphology was clear, nerve cells arranged in regular, and the number of neurons increased significantly in groups of Sal B by intranasal administration. Immunohistochemistry results showed that the groups of Sal B by intranasal administration could increase the BrdU-positive cell number in hippocampus. Conclusion: Intranasal administration of SalB can significantly improve the distribution in the hippocampus. Intranasal administration of Sal B could improve the cognitive dysfuction, and this effect maybe related to the directive effect of Sal B on promoting neurogenesis after cerebral ischemic.
