The anti-inflammatory agents are postulated to be effective in treating neurodegenerative disorders. in this study, we showed that indomethacin (IND) in the dose of 1 mg/kg protected neurons against toxic damage caused by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in mice model of Parkinson's disease. IND also diminished microglial activation and lymphocytic infiltration in the injured areas. These observations suggest that anti-inflammatory properties of IND may play a role in the neuron's protection in this model. However, diminished inflammatory reaction may be secondary to less neuronal damage.
