| Abstract | In the present study we provide evidence for hydroxyl radical ($^{•}$OH) scavenging action of nitric oxide (NO$^{•}$), and subsequent dopaminergic neuroprotection in a hemiparkinsonian rat model. Reactive oxygen species are strongly implicated in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity caused by the parkinsonian neurotoxin, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP$^{+}$). Since the role of this free radical as a neurotoxicant or neuroprotectant is debatable, we investigated the effects of some of the NO$^{•}$ donors such as S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nitroglycerin (NG) on in vitro $^{•}$OH generation in a Fenton-like reaction involving ferrous citrate, as well as in MPP$^{+}$-induced $^{•}$OH production in the mitochondria. We also tested whether co-administration of NO$^{•}$ donor and MPP$^{+}$ could protect against MPP$^{+}$-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity in rats. While NG, SNAP and SIN-1 attenuated MPP$^{+}$-induced $^{•}$OH generation in the mitochondria, and in a Fenton-like reaction, SNP caused up to 18-fold increase in $^{•}$OH production in the latter reaction. Striatal dopaminergic depletion following intranigral infusion of MPP$^{+}$ in rats was significantly attenuated by NG, SNAP and SIN-1, but not by SNP. Solutions of NG, SNAP and SIN-1, exposed to air for 48 h to remove NO$^{•}$, when administered similarly failed to attenuate MPP$^{+}$-induced neurotoxicity in vivo. Conversely, long-time air-exposed SNP solution when administered in rats intranigrally, caused a dose-dependent depletion of the striatal dopamine. These results confirm the involvement of $^{•}$OH in the nigrostriatal degeneration caused by MPP$^{+}$, indicate the $^{•}$OH scavenging ability of NO$^{•}$, and demonstrate protection by NO$^{•}$ donors against MPP$^{+}$-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity in rats. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
