Abstract: The pharmacology and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine has been extensively documented. In the present study， with the comparison of the expression of apoptosis proteins p53， Bax and Bcl-2， and the level of superoxidase， glutathione， malondialdehyde of neuronal differentiated PC12 cells in the absence and/or presence of Cuscuta chinensis Lam extract， we found that Cuscuta chinensis Lam extract， in a dose-dependent manner， prevents the neuronal differentiated PC12 cells damage from reactive oxygen species.
