To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of Tiantai No.1 (天泰1号), a compound Chinese herbal preparation, for the prevention and reduction of neurotoxicity induced by beta-element-binding protein (CREB) pathways using the gene transfection technique. Methods: B104 neuronal cells were used to examine the effects of Tiantai No.1 on lowering the neurotoxicity induced by Abeta. The cells were pre-treated with Tiantai No.1 at doses of 50, 100, 150, or 200 μg/mL respectively for 3 days and co-treated with Tiantai No.1 and beta-amyloid peptidel-40 (Aβ 1-40, 10 μmol/L) for 48 h or post-treated with Tiantai No.1 for 48 h after the cells were exposed to beta-amyloid peptides25-35 (A β 25-35) for 8 h. In gene transfection assays, cells were treated with Tiantai No.1 at 50 μg/m/and 150 μg/mL for 5 days or co-treated with Tiantai No.1 and A β 1-40 (5 μ mo/L) for 3 days after electroporation for the with Tiantai No.1 lowered the neurotoxicity induced by Abeta, and post-treating with Tiantai No.1 reduced or blocked B104 neuronal apoptotic death induced by Abeta (P
