[0003] Neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc.) are characterized by specific neuronal loss and are a type of progressive disease. Most neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, have complex mechanisms of occurrence, and the specific causes are still unknown, and there is a lack of effective cures. There is an urgent need to research and develop methods and drugs that can effectively prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases.
[0004] Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, which is more common in the elderly. The main pathological changes of Parkinson's disease include abnormal degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain, which leads to a significant decrease in striatal dopamine and the formation of Lewy bodies. The clinical manifestations include movement disorders such as resting tremor, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and abnormal posture and gait, and even non-motor symptoms such as cognitive impairment. Chinese Parkinson's disease patients account for about half of the countries with a high incidence of Parkinson's disease in the world, and as the aging of the population continues to accelerate, the social burden caused by Parkinson's disease is also increasing.
[0005] Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease, with the main clinical manifestations of cognitive function and learning disorders, memory loss, etc. With the accelerating aging of the population, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease has been increasing sharply in recent years, and the social burden caused by it has also been increasing day by day, especially in China, where the number of Alzheimer's disease patients ranks first in the world, and the market demand for drugs to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease is huge.

After 24 hours of culture, Rotenone (0.1 μM) (Note: Rotenone is rotenone) was added, and the peptide to be tested (40 μM) was added, and 6 replicate wells were set. After 24 hours of culture, 10% of the volume of the culture medium was added to each well. The cells were incubated in a 37°C constant temperature cell culture incubator for 4 hours, the supernatant was discarded, 150 μL DMSO was added to each well, and the plate was shaken at 500 r / min for 10 minutes on an ELISA plate oscillator to completely dissolve the blue-purple crystalline formazan. After the oscillation, the OD value of each well was measured using a microplate reader with a detection wavelength of 570 nm and a reference wavelength of 630 nm, and the cell survival was calculated.

After 24 hours of culture, Rotenone (0.1 μM) was added, and the peptide to be tested (40 μM) was added, and 3 replicate wells were set. After 24 hours of culture, the cell protein was extracted and the sample was prepared. The specific process was as follows: the culture medium in the 6-well plate was discarded, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS buffer, the cells in the wells were collected in an EP tube, 300 μL RIPA lysis buffer (a mixture of protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors was added at a ratio of 1:100), and lysis was performed on ice for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 4°C 12000r / min for 20 minutes, collect the supernatant, use the BCA protein concentration determination kit to determine the protein concentration, and use PBS buffer to adjust the protein concentration to the same level. 1 / 4 of the total volume of 5×SDS loading buffer was added to the protein solution, and after sufficient mixing, it was placed in boiling water and heated for 10 minutes and stored in a -20°C refrigerator.
