The effects of compound 8 on the sub-acute PD mouse model induced by MPTP. Mice were injected with MPTP hydrochloride (30 mg/kg, i.p.) for 5 consecutive days; compound 8 (50 mg/kg), 3-HM (50 mg/kg) or L-DOPA (20 mg/kg) were administered 30 min before each MPTP injection, and administration continued for the next 7 days. Compound 8 improved motor behaviour of mice, as measured by (A) rotarod test and (B) pole test (n = 15). (C,D) TH-positive staining neurons. Representative sections of substantia nigra from 5 mice are shown. Data were the mean ± SEM; **P < 0.01 versus control mice; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus MPTP–injected mice.
