Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: There were many large cytoplasmic cells and elongation of fivers in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) additional group without Glu. In PBS and Glu simultaneous additional group, the survival ratio was decrease significantly compared with PBS alone group. Moreover, there were dead cells which did not have cytoplasm and aggregated nucleus. The Glu-induced cell death of N18-RE-105 cells was inhibited by both pre-treatment (24 hours before Glu treatment) and simultaneous treatment with Rosemorgen. There were many large cytoplasmic cells and elongation of fivers in Rosemorgen group. DISCUSSION: From this finding in N18-RE-105 cells, Rosemorgen was concluded to inhibit Glu-induced cell death via non- NMDA type receptors. One of the pharmacologic mechanisms of Rosemorgen has been clear. These results suggest that Rosemorgen depresses allodynia and chronic pain through interaction with non- NMDA type receptors.
