Neochlorogenic acid

Cell experiment:

Mouse BV2 microglial cells are maintained in DMEM, supplemented with 5 % FBS and 1 % antibiotic–antimycotic in a humidified incubator with 5 % CO2 at 37°C. Neochlorogenic acid and Dexamethasone as positive control are dissolved in DMSO to a final concentration of 10 mM for the stock solution. Treatments with LPS and/or Neochlorogenic acid are carried out under serum-free conditions. Effects of Neochlorogenic acid are measured on cell viability in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. The cells are treated with or without LPS (4 μg/ml) and Neochlorogenic acid (10, 50, and 100 μM) for 24 h. Dexamethasone (10 μM) is used for positive control. Cell viability is confirmed by the MTT assay. The medium was removed from the wells, MTT was added, and the samples were then incubated for 3 h at 37°C. The formazan crystals were dissolved by adding DMSO, and the absorbance values were measured at 540 nm using a microplate reader[1].
