Abstract

This study aims to analyze the protective potential of Bidens pilosa L. leaf ethanol extract against histological damage to the lungs of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) due to alcohol exposure. This study is an experimental research using five treatment groups, consisting of a negative control, a positive control (alcohol), and three groups administered alcohol combined with Bidens pilosa L. leaf ethanol extract (EEDK) at varying doses. The parameters observed include edema, alveolar septum destruction, and inflammatory cell infiltration in lung histology specimens. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by DMRT. The results showed that EEDK administration significantly reduced lung damage, as indicated by a decrease in the average damage score from 43.12 ± 0.18 in the alcohol group to 33.92 ± 1.65 (250 mg/kgBW), 23.32 ± 2.18 (500 mg/kgBW), and 14.88 ± 1.06 (750 mg/kgBW). The reduction in lung damage included improvement in edema, reduction in alveolar septal destruction, and suppression of inflammatory cell infiltration. These findings suggest that ethanol extract of Bidens pilosa L. leaves has potential as a natural protective agent through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, thereby potentially useful for preventing or reducing alcohol-induced lung damage.

Abstract

Kidney function impairment is a common complication of hyperglycemia, characterized by increased creatinine levels and structural damage to renal tissue. Alloxan is frequently used to induce kidney injury through oxidative stress mechanisms. Torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) flower contains antioxidant compounds with potential nephroprotective effects. This study aims to determine the effect of torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) flower extract on creatinine levels and kidney histopathology in alloxan-induced white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with an experimental approach. The negative control group received destilled water, while the positive control group was induced with alloxan (120 mg/kgBW) intraperitoneally and treated with glibenclamide (0.45 mg/kgBW). The treatments groups (P1, P2, and P3) were given alloxan (120 mg/kgBW) and torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) flower extract orally at doses of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, and 400 mg/kgBW, respectively. This study showed that torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) flower extract significantly reduced creatinine levels and improved kidney histopathology (renal tubular necrosis). The 400 mg/kgBW dose was the most effective in lowering creatinine levels and repairing kidney tissue damage.

Abstract

Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) is the major cause of hepato-renal carcinogenesis. Apigenin in Plectranthus amboinicus (EPA), has indicated some biological activities such as antioxidant and antimutagenic activity. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of apigenin in EPA as anti-cancer against chronic hepatorenal damage exposed to B(a)P. The rats of 4 groups (n=6) were divided as follows: Group I (P0) was given food and water ad-libitum; Group II (PB) was administered orally B(a)P 2 mg/kg BW; Group III (PB+E) received orally B(a)P 2 mg/kg BW and EPA 500 mg/kg; Group IV (PE) was administered orally EPA 500 mg/kg BW. The therapeutic effect of EPA was explored using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The results showed that Group III could significantly improve (P < 0.05) the hepatorenal function parameter, including DNA concentration. SGPT, SGOT, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine compared to those treated with B(a)P. The outcome data pharmacology revealed 6 targets could be the main core target. The good binding affinity indicated Apigenin docked to AKT1 protein with -10.00 kcal/mol relevant to Doxorubicin as control drug. Our results provide a new insight of apigenin in EPA potentially suppressing the regulation of chemical carcinogenesis by B(a)P.
