a Anti-oxidative effects of 50 μM perforin inhibitor (PFI) and its LAT1-utilizing prodrug (PFI-PD) as well as α-tocopherol (Toco; vitamin E) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lipid peroxidation in primary astrocytes after 24 h incubation (in vitro). b Anti-oxidative effects of 30 μmol/kg of perforin inhibitor (PFI) (dark gray bars) and its LAT1-utilizing prodrug (PFI-PD) (light gray bars) after lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation (with 250 μg/kg dose per day for 3 consecutive days) in mice (in vivo). The studied compounds were given to mice as a curative treatment only on the 3rd and 4th days of the experiment or as a preventative treatment for 4 days together with LPS. Oxidative stress was measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in the astrocytes (normalized to protein content in a) or in the brain (normalized to tissue weight in b). The data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3–4). An asterisk denotes a statistically significant difference from the respective LPS or control group (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test)
