In the present study, pseudoginsenoside-F11 (PF11), a saponin that existed in American ginseng, was studied on its protective effect on methamphetamine (MA)-induced behavioral and neurochemical toxicities in mice. MA was intraperitoneally administered at the dose of 10mg/kg four times at 2-h intervals, and PF11 was orally administered at the doses of 4 and 8mg/kg two times at 4-h intervals, 60 min prior to MA administration. The results showed that PF11 did not significantly influence, but greatly ameliorated, the anxiety-like behavior induced by MA in the light-dark box task. In the forced swimming task, PF11 significantly shortened the prolonged immobility time induced by MA. In the appetitively motivated T-maze task, PF11 greatly shortened MA-induced prolonged latency and decreased the error counts. Similar results were also observed in the Morris water maze task. PF11 significantly shortened the escape latency prolonged by MA. There were significant decreases in the contents of dopamine (DA), 3, 4-dihydroxyphenacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), and 5- hydroxyindoacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the brain of MA-treated mice. PF11 could partially, but significantly, antagonize MA-induced decreases of DA. The above results demonstrate that PF11 is effective in protection of MA-induced neurotoxicity and also suggest that natural products, such as ginseng, might be potential candidates for the prevention and treatment of the neurological disorders induced by MA abuse.
