Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acetaminophen, when used at low doses is a safe drug, but at higher doses it induces apoptosis in hepatoma cells. Arcangelisia flava that grows widely in Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, contains berberine which is effective in protecting the liver. This work was aimed to study the effect of A. flava extract on the modulation of caspase-3 in acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity.METHODS: Thirty-five Wistar male rats were divided into groups: I the normal control (water); II the negative control (Arabic gum powder or PGA, 2% in suspension); III the positive control (silymarin); IV-VII (A. flava extract 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/Kg of body weight (BW), respectively) for 14 days. At day 15th, group II-VII were induced with acetaminophen 1000 mg/Kg of BW per oral for 7 days along with the extracts. At day 22nd, the animals were measured for their serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), histological examination, and Western blotting.RESULTS: Acetaminophen elevated the SGOT and SGPT (3x compared to normal group), and GGT (5x compared to normal group) of the animals in group II. Pre-treatment with higher doses of A. flava extract (group VI and VII) significantly prevented the biochemical changes induced by acetaminophen. Normal histology of the liver was showed by group I, III, VII, whereas dilated sinusoids, central vein (CV) lesion, and local haemorrage were observed in group II, IV, V and VI. Western blotting showed an inhibition of caspase-3 expression by A. flava extract in dose-dependent manner.CONCLUSION: A. Higher dose A. flava extract shows hepatoprotective activity by preventing the elevation of serum transaminases and transferase levels. Eventually, no damage in the acetaminophen-induced rat’s liver was observed. This plant modulates the expression of caspase 3 protein in dose-dependent manner.KEYWORDS: Arcangelisia sp, caspase-3, berberine, hepatoprotective activity, NSAIDs, yellow root

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Previous works indicated various pharmacology activities of bay plant (Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp.), however only few studies investigated its toxicity. This work was aimed to study the subchronic toxicity of ethanol extract of this plant.METHODS: White Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups and were treated with 2% of Arabic gum (PGA) suspension, 1000 mg/kg of body weight (BW), 400 mg/kg of BW and 100 mg/kg of BW, respectively. The animals were observed on their body weight, hematology, clinical biochemistry parameters, organ index and histopathology.RESULTS: Flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, saponins, quinones, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were detected in dried leaves and ethanol extract of bay plant. An increase of body weight in male and female groups treated with dose 100 and 400 mg/kg BW compared to controls, was observed. Moreover, there was an increase of white blood cell (WBC) in male and female groups treated with S. polyanthum extracts compared to controls, whereas a decrease of red blood cell (RBC) was observed in male groups treated with S. polyanthum extracts in dose-dependent manner compared to control. No significant changes of RBC were seen in female groups, haemoglobin values were not altered by extract treatment. Photomicrographs of liver, kidney, lungs, heart and spleen histopathology of male and female S. polyanthum extract-treated groups showed no significant alteration compared to controls.CONCLUSION: Our study revealed that S. polyanthum extracts does not show toxicity on the body weight, hematology, creatinine and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), but fatty liver and necrosis are observed in female rats. This result can be beneficial for plant-based drug discovery, particularly this study provides information about the safety of S. polyanthum to be further developed as candidate of phytopharmaceutics.KEYWORDS: bay plants, salam leaves, hepatotoxicity, necrosis, SGOT, SGPT

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Peronema canescens Jack is traditionally employed in the treatment of inflammation, malaria, and immune-related disorders. Despite its traditional use, scientific evidence on its immunomodulatory effects, interleukin (IL)-6 modulation, hematological impact, as well as its related acute toxicity data remains limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the immunostimulatory potential of P. canescens leaf extract through in vitro and in vivo assessments and evaluate its acute toxicity profile.METHODS: The in vitro immunomodulatory activity of P. canescens ethanolic extract, n-hexane fraction (NHF), ethyl acetate fraction (EAF), and water fraction (WF) were assessed by measuring IL-6 inhibition in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. For in vivo analysis, Balb/C mice were divided into six groups: a normal control (Na-CMC), a positive control (50 mg/kg BW/day Stimuno Phyllanthus niruri extract), a negative control (80 mg/kg BW/day cyclophosphamide as immunosuppressant), and 3 treatment groups receiving P. canescens extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW/day. Hematological parameters, including white blood cell (WBC) counts, lymphocyte percentages, and neutrophil percentages, were analyzed. Acute toxicity studies were performed by administering P. canescens extract at doses of 300, 2000, and 5000 mg/kg BW over observation period.RESULTS: EAF exhibited the most pronounced IL-6 inhibition in vitro. In vivo, the administration of P. canescens extract at 200 and 400 mg/kg BW significantly elevated WBC and lymphocyte levels while concurrently reducing neutrophil counts. No mortality or neurotoxic manifestations were observed, confirming the P. canescens extract’s safety profile up to 5000 mg/kg BW.CONCLUSION: P. canescens leaf extract, particularly EAF, demonstrates robust immunomodulatory activity with a favorable safety margin. These findings underscore its potential therapeutic application in immune modulation.KEYWORDS: Peronema canescens Jack, immunomodulatory, IL-6 inhibition, acute toxicity, hematology, cytokines
