Abstract
Perennial herbaceous plant of the ginger family Zingiberaceae, Curcuma longa L. is competent in anticancer and neuroprotective development. The neuroprotective event of plant Curcuma zedoaria Roxb. from the same family has not yet documented. C. zedoaria rhizomes powder extracted by 70% ethanol. The protective effects of C. zedoaria rhizomes on oxidative tension convinced cell destruction by tert-butyl hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide were examined by MTT test in C6 cell lines. Pretreatment with ethanolic extract of rhizomes of C. zedoaria effectively guarded the cell destruction convinced by oxidative tension in C6 cells with 71% maximum cell viability. C. zedoaria pretreatment could alleviate oxidative tension in glioma C6 cells. In such a way ethanolic extract of rhizomes of C. zedoaria might be advantageous for forbidding the deterioration of learning and memory.
