Aim To observe the effects of chrysophanol on memory impairment and synaptic transmission in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus in AD rats induced by ?-amyloid peptide(A?25-35).Methods AD rat model was established by injection of A?25-35 into cerebral ventricles with cerebral three-dimensional positioning.Chrysophanol of different doses(0.350,0.070 and 0.014 mg?kg-1 ip) were administered continuously.Through the methods of morris water maze test and electrophysiological test,the effects of chrysophanol on memory impairment and long-term potentiation(LTP) induced by high-frequency stimulation(HFS) in AD rats were observed.Results Chrysophanol(0.350,0.070,0.014 mg?kg-1,ip) does-dependently shortened the time of seeking platform and significantly improved the LTP induced by HFS in the DG of hippocampus in AD rats.Conclusion Chrysophanol can improve memory impairment and possess enhancement property on the LTP induced by HFS in AD rats induced by A?25-35.

In step-down tests in mice,the effects of L -proline 0.1 - 100?g ? mouse-1 icv on memory acquisition were not observed, but L -proline0. l~10?g ? mouse-1 icv could significantly improve the anisodine- induced impairments of memory acquisition. This effect of L-proline 1?g ? mouse-1 icv could not be antagonized with D-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid(APS), the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. L-proline 1?g ? mouse-1 icv could also improve memory acquisition impairment induced by high GABA level in brain. This results suggested that L - proline may improve the memory as the modulator or possibly through GABA.
