Objective:To distinguish the active fraction extracted from the optimized Danggui Shaoyao San(FBD)
which can prevent and treat vascular dementia.Method:(1) The dysmnesia model of learning and memory induced by scopolamine and ischemia-reperfusion was used. The ability of learning and memory was measured by step-through task and water maze task. (2) PC12 cell was injured by N`a2S2O4 and glutamine and the viability of cell was measured by MTT method.Results:At the same dosage of herbal medicine
the three compositions composed by four fractions extracted from FBD
[Polysaccharide+Volatile oil]
[Polysaccharide+Volatile oil+n-Butanol-fraction] and [Polysaccharide+Volatile oil +Water-fraction]
shortened swimming time obviously (P<0.05)
prolonged significantly step-through latency and decreased number of errors in 5 minutes (P<0.05~0.01). (2) 10% Serum containing FBD and the three compositions were manifested to increase viability of injured PC12 cell (P<0.1~0.05). [Polysaccharide+Volatile oil] worked most obviously (P<0.05~0.01) at behavior and cellular levels.Conclusion: [Polysaccharide+Volatile oil] might be the active fraction of optimized Danggui Shaoyao San for preventing and treating VD.
