Neurotrophic compounds from Indonesian Zingiberceae plant, BANGLE Miwa Kubo1, Megumi Nakai2, Kenichi Harada1, Nobuaki Matsui1, Masaaki Akagi1, Midori Suenaga1, Yoichi Matsunaga1, Yoshiyasu Fukuyama1 1Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tokushima Bunri University, Tokushima, 770-8514, Japan; 2Department of Pharmacy, Kochi Medical Graduate School, Nankoku, Kochi 783-8505, Japan; As part of our efforts to discover natural products with neurotrophic properties, we investigated the MeOH extract of the root of BANGLE (Zingiber purpurenum) that exhibited neuritogenesis activity in PC12 cells at 25 μg/mL, resulting in the isolation of neurotrophic phenylbutenoid dimers 1 and 2, and 3 – 5 as new compounds. Compounds 3 and 4 are the first example of curcumin coupled with phenylbutenoid. Compounds 1 and 2 found not only to significantly induce neurite sprouting of PC12 cells, but also to increase the neurite length and number of neurites in primary cultured rat cortical neurons, and also showed protective activity against cell death caused by deprivation of serum. Furthermore, chronic treatment of these compounds enhanced hippocampal neurogenesis in dementia model OBX mice. Compounds 3 and 4 had s i g n i fi c a n t N G F - p o t e n t i a t i n g e f f e c t s o n P C 1 2 c e l l s .
