Several chemically synthesized compounds were examined for protective effects against the cell damage in tunicamycin-treated human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells. Among the compounds tested, an antioxidant, Norbergenin-11-caproate (10 microM), exhibited complete protection against the cell growth inhibitory effect of tunicamycin but did not inhibit the induction of Bip/GRP78 mRNA by tunicamycin. Both norbergenin-11-caproate and alpha-tocopherol completely inhibited the production of reactive oxygen… CONTINUE READING
