title: Neuroprotective effects of kobophenol A against the withdrawal of tropic support, nitrosative stress, and mitochondrial damage in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.
abstract: This study examined the neuroprotective effects of kobophenol A (kob A), oligomeric stillbene, and a resveratrol tetramer. Neuronal death induced by the withdrawal of tropic support was ameliorated by kob A. The protective effect of kob A against nitrosative/oxidative or mitochondrial damages resulted in the inhibition of the ROS, intracellular calcium ion level, and mitochondrial transmembrane potential changes on SH-SY5Y cells.
