Abstract

The study was designed to evaluate the hematological effect of ethanol extract of Pirdot (Saurauia vulcani) (EES) in white rats induce rhodamine B and predict interaction of bioactive compound Pirdot to bind active site Keap1-Nrf2. Twenty- four Male Wistar rats (100-200 g) divided into four groups. Group P1 served as group control is administered with CMC 0.5%; group P2 is treated with Rhodamine B 750 mg/kg BW, Group KP1 administered EES 500 mg/kg BW; and Group KP2 is treated with EES 500 mg/kg BW+ Rhodamine B 750 mg/kg BW. Hematological parameters were assessed. The results revealed that red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), thrombocyte count, and hemoglobin concentration (Hb) in rats induced Rhodamine B significantly lower than the control group. However, EES could improve the value of hematological profile. Our finding demonstrated that EES normalizes the value of hematological parameters in rats induce Rhodamine B. Moreover, beta-amyrin, pomolic acid and maslinic acid from Pirdot had good binding affinity to Keap1-Nrf2

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.
