Objective: To investigate whether the compound prescription Tongluo Jiannao and its main ingredients like geniposide (Gp) and Panax notoginseng Saponins (PNS) can promote the synaptic plasticity of nerve cells. Method: This experiment was divided into control group and treatment groups.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) kit was used to detect the cell proliferation curve after adding the drugs into the medium at the time interval 6

48 h. Western blotting was used to assay the synapse-associated proteins
such as drebrin and postynaptic density protein-95(PSD-95).PC12 cells induced by nerve growth factor (NGF) were used to observe if the drugs improve the amount of synapses. Result: Tongluo Jiannao
Gp and PNS couldn't influence the cell proliferation curve
and Gp could improve the expression of drebrin and PSD-95 significantly (P<0.01)
Gp also could increase the amount of synapses (P<0.01). Conclusion: Tongluo Jiannao and geniposide could promote synaptic plasticity of nerve cells.
