Objective To investigate the mechanism by which Angong Niuhuang Pills alleviates neurological impairment in mice with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by reducing oxidative stress, based on the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1- alpha (PGC1α) signaling axis. Methods An ICH mouse model was established by stereotactically injecting 0.5 µL of type VII-S collagenase (0.15 U·µL- ¹) into the left caudate putamen of mice. Ninety-three C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the following groups: sham-operated group, model group, low- , medium- , and high-dose Angong Niuhuang Pills groups (20,40,80 mg·kg⁻¹,respectively),and an Angong Niuhuang Pills (40 mg·kg⁻¹) + inhibitor group (Dorsomorphin 10 mg·kg⁻¹,intraperitoneally injected 1-hour before modeling),with 5-6 mice per group. Mice in the Angong Niuhuang Pills administration groups received the respective doses via oral gavage once daily for 3 consecutive days. Neurological function was assessed using the modified Neurological Deficit Score (NDS) and corner test, and brain water content was measured. Neuronal degeneration was analyzed by Fluoro-Jade B (FJB) staining. Oxidative stress markers in brain tissue, including malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH),and oxidized glutathione (GSSG),were detected by colorimetric assays. Protein expression levels of phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK),PGC1α,and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) in brain tissue were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with the sham-operated group,the expression of p-AMPK protein in the model group was significantly upregulated at 24 hours and 72 hours post-ICH (P<0.05, P<0.01), PGC1α protein expression was significantly upregulated at 72 hours post-ICH (P<0.01),and Nrf2 protein expression showed an upward trend (P>0.05). The NDS scores and the rate of autonomous left turns were significantly increased (P< 0.01). The brain water content in the ipsilateral (left) cerebral hemisphere was significantly elevated (P<0.01). Levels of MDA and GSSG in brain tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01), while levels of SOD and GSH were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, mice in the medium- and high-dose Angong Niuhuang Pills groups showed significantly reduced NDS scores (P<0.05,P<0.01),although the autonomous left turn rates did not change significantly across all Angong Niuhuang Pills dose groups (P>0.05). In the medium-dose Angong Niuhuang Pills group,the brain water content in the ipsilateral hemisphere and the number of FJB-positive cells were significantly reduced (P<0.01);levels of MDA and GSSG in brain tissue were significantly decreased (P< 0.05, P<0.01), while SOD and GSH levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). Furthermore, the protein expression of p-AMPK, PGC1α, and Nrf2 was significantly upregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the medium-dose Angong Niuhuang Pills group,the Angong Niuhuang Pills + inhibitor group showed significantly reduced protein expression levels of p-AMPK,PGC1α,and Nrf2 in brain tissue (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion Angong Niuhuang Pills can alleviate local cerebral edema, reduce neuronal degeneration, and improve neurological impairment in mice with ICH. This effect may be associated with the modulation of the AMPK-PGC1α signaling axis to attenuate oxidative stress damage in brain tissue.
