Oxidopamine hydrochloride (6-Hydroxydopamine hydrochloride) (6-OHDA) is an antagonist of the neurotransmitter dopamine[1]. Oxidopamine hydrochloride is a widely used neurotoxin that selectively destroys dopaminergic neurons[2]. Oxidopamine hydrochloride is often used to induce animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD)[3].
In vitro, 24h treatment of PC12 cells with Oxidopamine hydrochloride (0-150µM) induced chromatin condensation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, increased the activity of caspase-3, -8, and -9 in cells, and depolarized the mitochondrial membrane[4]. 24h treatment of Neuro-2a and SH-SY5Y cells with Oxidopamine hydrochloride (0-500µM) reduced the viability of both cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with similar EC50 values(approximately 110µM), and induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and nuclear translocation[5].
In vivo, Oxidopamine hydrochloride (8μg in 2μL saline) was injected into the medial forebrain bundle in old and young rats, which showed significant impairment in the contralateral forelimb reaching test and forced choice task, and a significant decrease in TH-expressing cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and striatum[6]. Oxidopamine hydrochloride (5μg in 2μL saline) was injected unilaterally into the right striatum in SD rats, which induced nigrostriatal nerve terminal lesions, reduced striatal dopamine levels, and reduced the number of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive cells in the ipsilateral substantia nigra, accompanied by significant atrophy of the remaining dopaminergic neurons[7].
