Recovery of cell viability by DA-9805. SH-SY5Y cells were placed in a 96-well plate and pre-treated with various concentrations of DA-9805 (μg/ml) or reference drugs (50 µM creatine, 100 nM rasagiline, or 50 µM ropinirole) for 4 h. The cells were incubated with 1 mM MPP+ for 20 h, and then cell viabilities were analyzed. (a) Calcein cell permeability assay. (b) MTT NADH dehydrogenase (complex 1) activity. (c) Caspase 3/7 activity. DA-9805 (1 μg/ml) was used. All values are reported as a percentage of the control (CTR). The data are plotted as the mean ± SEM (n = 6). #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 vs. CTR; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 vs. MPP+-treated DMSO. p values are from a one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test.
