Abstract

The cAMP-response element (CRE) is critical in the formation of long-term memory. To prove the pharmacological effects of the methoxyflavones-rich residue (MRR) and its constituent methoxyflavones (1–9) extracted from the rhizomes of Kaempferia parviflora on the nervous system, we examined the effects of the MRR and methoxyflavones (1–9) on CRE-mediated transcription in PC12D cells. The MRR increased CRE-mediated transcription in PC12D cells. In addition, among methoxyflavones (1–9) isolated from MRR, compounds 1–4 increased CRE-mediated transcription. These results suggest that K. parviflora and methoxyflavone might be very useful materials for preventing and recovering from cognitive decline.
