a comparison experiment of the protective effect of cornuside, morroniside, loganin and total cornuside on the learning and memory ability of a D-galactose-induced aging mouse is carried out.
D-galactose-induced aging mouse model preparation:
neck and back subcutaneous injection of D-galactose 100mg kg-1And establishing an aging model in 8 weeks.
Grouping and administration:
healthy 2-month-old KM mice were randomly divided into 6 groups of 12 mice (male and female halves) as normal groups, i.e., D-galactose-induced aging group, cornus officinalis neoside group (purity of 95% or more, self-made), morroniside group, loganin group, and cornus officinalis total side group.
Normal group: the KM mice are subjected to intragastric administration and double-distilled water with the same amount every day, and physiological saline with the same amount is injected subcutaneously at the neck and the back;
model group: the KM mice were gavaged with equivalent double distilled water every day, and injected with 100 mg/kg of D-galactose subcutaneously at the back and neck-1。
Cornus officinalis neo-glycosides group: daily gavage administration of cornuside to KM mice at a dose of 30mg/kg -1100 mg/kg of D-galactose for subcutaneous injection at the back and neck-1。
Morroniside group: the KM mice are administrated with morroniside by intragastric administration every day, and the dose is 22mg kg-1(different molecular weights, based on the molecular weight of the same molar concentration), the neck and back were injected subcutaneously with 100mg kg of D-galactose-1。
Loganin group: daily gavage administration of loganin to KM mice at a dose of 21 mg/kg-1(different molecular weights, depending on the molecule)Amount converted to equivalent molar concentration), 100 mg/kg of D-galactose was injected subcutaneously into the back and neck-1。
The dogwood total glycosides group (the source is that dried and mature fruits of dogwood are heated and refluxed to extract, and then are absorbed by D101 macroporous absorption resin after being decompressed and concentrated, and then are eluted by 15 percent ethanol and 35 percent ethanol in sequence, and the 35 percent ethanol eluate is merged, decompressed, concentrated and dried to obtain the dogwood total glycosides, and the chemical analysis shows that the dogwood total glycosides group mainly comprises loganin and morroniside): feeding Corni fructus total glycosides into KM mouse by intragastric administration at a dose of 50mg kg -1100 mg/kg of D-galactose for subcutaneous injection at the back and neck-1。
Results and analysis:
the degree of memory impairment of the D-galactose model and the effect of the drugs on impairment improvement were assessed by behavioral indicators (water maze, new object recognition) 6 weeks after administration. The longer the latency of the model group, the fewer the platform-crossing times and the poorer the object recognition capability, which indicates that the learning and memory function of the animal is more seriously damaged. The shorter the incubation period of the administration group, the more the number of times of platform crossing, the stronger the object recognition ability, and the stronger the improvement effect of the drug.

The experimental results show that in the positioning navigation experiment, the incubation period of the mice of each experimental group shows a shortening trend along with the increase of the training times and the experimental days, and the results are shown in table 1. In the space exploration experiment, compared with the normal group of mice, the space exploration capacity of the model group of mice is reduced, which is shown in that the time for the first time to pass through the platform is prolonged (P <0.05), and the results are shown in Table 2. The number of platform crossings was significantly reduced (P <0.05) and the results are shown in table 3. Compared with a model group, the dogwood neoside can obviously improve the learning and memory ability of mice, and is represented by that the first-time platform crossing time is reduced (P <0.05), the platform crossing times are increased, and the dogwood neoside has significant difference (P < 0.01).
