| Abstract | The most widely used platinum-derived drug is cisplatin in neuroblastoma (NB) chemotherapy, which is severely neurotoxic. Acetyl-l-Carnitine (ALC) is a natural occurring compound with a neuroprotective activity in several experimental paradigms. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ALC on cisplatin induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in NB cells. SH-SY5Y (N-Myc negative) and KELLY (N-Myc positive) human NB cell lines were used. Cisplatin induced apoptosis was assessed by using a Cell Death Detection ELISA$^{PLUS}$ kit. Lipid peroxidation levels were determined by HPLC analysis. Glutathione levels were determined spectrophotometrically. ALC was used prophylactic or after cisplatin application. The level of cisplatin doses were determined in both type of NB cells at which 50% cell death occurred along with synchronized apoptosis induced. Prophylactic 10 and 50 μmol of ALC concentrations were decreased cisplatin induced lipid peroxidation compared to controls that normally exhibited apoptosis especially in SH-SY5Y cells. Cisplatin caused oxidative stress through decreasing glutathione levels in both cell types. ALC were effectively inhibited the increase in cisplatin induced oxidized glutathione and lipid peroxidation formation in NB cells. We suggested that prophylactic ALC would be a useful agent for cisplatin induced toxicity in NB cells. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
