The protective effects of the isolated compounds were evaluated on the defense effect of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells (Chinese Academy of Science Committee Type Culture Collection Cell, Bank, Shanghai, China) against H
2O
2-induced cytotoxicity. The SH-SY5Y cells were maintained in
MEM medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in a humid atmosphere of 5% CO
2 and 95% air at 37 °C, then the cells were treated with 350 μM H
2O
2 for 24 h. The conventional
MTT colorimetric assay was applied to measure the neuroblastoma cell viability, and we used the cells without pre-treatment as the control. The SH-HY5Y cells were plated into 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 10
4 per well and incubated for 24 h. The experimental groups were maintained in MEM supplemented with 1 μM of the obtained depsides
1–
12 at the same condition of the control groups for 15 min, then they were exposed to 350 μM H
2O
2 for 24 h. Each group was further incubated with
MTT (Sigma-Alarich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for another 4 h, the supernatant was removed after that, the crystals were dissolved in DMSO. The optical density of each well was evaluated by a microplate reader (BIO-RAD Model 680, Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) at 492 nm.
