Abstract

Objectives: The BangPungTongSungSan(BPTSS) has been used as a therapeutic agent for cerebrovascular disease, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertension, diabetes and obesity in oriental medicine. The present study designed to investigate the effect of BPTSS on behavioral change and neuronal activation induced by acute methamphetamine(METH, 2 mg/kg, i.p.) in C57BL/6 mice.
Methods: Mice received the oral administration of BPTTS(25, 50 and 100 mg/kg) 1 h prior to saline or METH administration. Locomotor activity was measured for 90 min using videotractking method and c-Fos expression, as marker of neuronal activation, was identified in a separate groups of mice by immunohistochemistry.
Results and Conclusions : Methamphetamine injection significantly increased locomotor activity and c-Fos expression in the nucleus accumbens and striatum. Interestingly, BPTTS(100 mg/kg) significantly suppressed locomotor activity and c-Fos expression in the nucleus accumbens and striatum by acute exposure to METH. These results suggest that BangPungTongSungSan may be effective in suppressing the reinforcing effect of methamphetamine by modulation neuronal activity.
