Abstract

This study aims to determine the nutritional and therapeutic effects of dried Bunium incrassatum Bois.Batt.Trab. Tubers powder on rats with hyper and hypothyroidism. Thirty female Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups. G1 (C) received a normal diet. G2 (CT) received a normal diet with dried Talghouda tubers powder dissolved in water. G3 (Hpo) was treated with Carbimazole® (5 mg/day) for 6 weeks. G4 (HpoT) was treated with Carbimazole® (5 mg/day) for 6 weeks and Talghouda for 7 weeks after induced hypothyroidism. G5 (Hpy) was treated with Levothyroxine® (600µg/Kg body weight/day) for 6 weeks. G6 (HpyT) had hyperthyroidism induced by Levothyroxine® (600µg/Kg body weight/day) for 6 weeks and then treated with Talghouda for 7 weeks. A dose of Talghouda was chosen at 1.03g/Kg body weight/day, and all treatments were given by gavage. Phytochemical analysis was carried out for Talghouda, and the thyroid glands of each group were then recovered for histological study. Talghouda treatment showed a highly significant (p 0.01) increase in body weight in groups G2, G4 and G6 with gland repair and reactivation of thyroid follicles in hyper and hypothyroid rats compared to G1, G3 and G5.  The powder of dried Talghouda tubers, used as traditional medicine in Algeria, improved the damages caused by hyper and hypothyroidism.

Abstract

Cengkir Mango (Mangifera indica L) is a variety of mango known in the northern part of West Java and widely used as food, beverage, and natural-based pharmaceutical product. This fruit is potentially used as body scrub ingredients due to its richness in polyphenols contain. This study aims to formulate natural-based body scrub using the Cengkir Mango as an active ingredient. The formulation was divided into 3 groups with different concentrations of mango fruit flour, respectively 35, 46, and 50 grams (F1, F2, and F3). The product evaluation included homogeneity, stability, pH, and hedonic test. The organoleptic of body scrub indicated mango scent and light brownish-darker colors, responding to an increase of concentration for each formulation. The homogeneity test showed that the body scrub had no granulation of mango flour. The evaluation of pH showed the product had pH respectively at 7.5, 7.5, and 7.0 (F1, F2, and F3). These results indicated that the body scrub had good physical properties. Investigation of body scrub stability was used to evaluate the fragrance, color, and consistency of the formulation in storage for 3 weeks at room temperature. The results showed no change in color and consistency but a loss of mango fragrance after 3 weeks. The hedonic test indicated that most participants favored F1 (35 grams of mango flour). Based on these results, the flour of Cengkir mango had good performance as an active ingredient in a natural-based body scrub.

Abstract

Acetaminophen(APAP) intoxication is an important cause of nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. N-acetylcysteine(NAC) is used in the treatment, but it has some serious side effects. Abelmoschus esculentus(AE) has various benefits as well as antioxidant effects. This study aims to investigate the effect of AE in APAP-induced acute nephrotoxicity. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into five equal groups: Control, AE, APAP, APAP+AE, and APAP+AE+NAC. Significant changes were observed in serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin(NGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1(KIM-1) after induction with APAP. NGAL and KIM-1 in the AE group remained low compared to those receiving APAP (p=0.022 and p0.001, respectively). When the APAP group was compared with the AE and AE+NAC groups, it was found that even the administration of AE alone significantly decreased NGAL and KIM-1(p=0.036 vs.p=0.029 and p0.001 vs. p0.001, respectively), these results were attributed to the effects of AE on reducing MDA and increasing SOD. Histopathological studies also confirmed these results. These results demonstrated that AE had protective and therapeutic effects on APAP-induced nephrotoxicity. This benefit of AE is due to its antioxidant effect. In addition, AE may also increase the regenerative capacity of the kidney, which APAP reduces.

Abstract

Methotrexate (MTX) usage, despite its toxicity in body organs, has increased steadily over the years due to its broad applicability for treating different ailments, including various forms of cancer. Certain plant species have been shown to possess therapeutic properties by offering a protective effect against drug side effects. Thus, the current study was carried out to evaluate the potential of aqueous Chromolaena odorata leaf extract (AEOC) to attenuate the effect of MTX-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. The study divided thirty (30) male Wistar rats into five groups consisting of six each: Group I (control), Group II (AEOC at 250 mg/kg BW), Group III (MTX at 7 mg/kg BW), Group IV (AEOC at 250 mg/kg BW + MTX at 7 mg/kg BW), and Group V (Vitamin C (100 mg/kg BW) + MTX at 7 mg/kg BW). Chromolaena odorata and Vitamin C was administered for ten consecutive days, while MTX was administered on day 8 for three consecutive days. Rats were sacrificed 24hrs after the last administration. Serum collected was used for the determination of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Albumin (ALB), Total Bilirubin (TB), and Total protein (TP), while liver tissue was used for assessment of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Catalase (CAT) as well as histopathological analysis. The result showed a significant increase in the level of SOD, CAT and a significant reduction in MDA in Chromolaena odorata or Vitamin C treated groups compared with MTX. Furthermore, Chromolaena odorata or Vitamin C significantly reduced liver function enzymes and Total Bilirubin levels while increasing synthetic molecules compared to the MTX group. Chromolaena odorata attenuated the toxic effect of MTX, which was corroborated by histopathological analysis. In conclusion, Chromolaena odorata attenuated MTX-induced hepatotoxicity by enhancing antioxidant status; thus, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is characterized by an imbalance in the generation of free radicals and their subsequent elimination by endogenous antioxidants. It is a characteristic of several diseases, especially during the progression stage, which can lead to fatal effects. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical components and antioxidant capability of Tamarindus indica and assess its capability as a candidate for managing diseases associated with oxidative stress. The gravimetric method detected and quantified phytochemicals, while the reducing power assay determined the antioxidant potential. Saponins, steroids, and flavonoids were detected in 6.83 ±0.44, 4.30 ±0.60, and 10.17% ±0.60, respectively, without alkaloids, glycosides, and terpenoids. The antioxidant test showed a concentration-dependent increase in absorbance of both the extract and standard (Ascorbic acid). However, Ascorbic acid had higher absorbance. At 100% concentration, the sample had an absorbance of 0.388 ±0.022, which was lower than the absorbance of Ascorbic acid (0.411 ±0.009) at 40% concentration. It can be concluded that Tamarind leaves could be utilized to manage diseases associated with oxidative stress, evidenced by their antioxidant potential credited to the phytochemical content of the leaves. However, there is a need for further studies to ascertain the exact compounds and their modes of action.

Abstract

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive blood disorder characterized by red blood cells that assume an abnormal, rigid sickle shape under low-oxygen conditions. These sickle-shaped erythrocytes tend to lyse, aggregate, and obstruct small blood vessels, leading to major complications. The present study aims to investigate properties that may underlie the activity of Drepanoalphaâ, an antisickling herbal formulation developed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for the prevention and symptomatic treatment of sickle cell disease crises. The Drepanoalpha® Ethanolic Extract (DEE) is a dry extract (drug-extract ratio, DER, 100/11) prepared from ethanol (96 %, v/v) percolation of a 1:1 mixture of 2 food plants, Justicia secunda Vahl and Moringa oleifera Lam. Sickling was classically measured by light microscopy on diluted washed erythrocytes obtained from homozygote patients; erythrocytes were treated with 2 % Na2S2O5 in the presence of DEE (suspension in 9 ‰ NaCl), 9 ‰ NaCl (negative control) or disodium cromoglycate (DSCG, positive control). For all tested conditions, the sickle hemoglobin polymerization, the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio, and the median corpuscular fragility were measured by spectrophotometry. The DEE reversed sickling by 89.1 %, comparable to DSCG (87.7 %; 60.3 µg/mL), inhibiting sickle cell hemoglobin polymerization of 77.8 % and 74.4 %, respectively. The Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio was improved by 18.0 % for DEE and 15.9 % for DSCG. The median corpuscular fragility values were 0.602, 0.714, and 0.732 for NaCl 9 ‰, DSCG, and DEE, respectively. The measured in vitro parameters validate an effective antisickling effect of DEE and confirm the value of this improved traditional herbal formulation for the management of SCD.

Abstract

Various bioactive properties, including antioxidant and antineoplastic properties, are extracted from plant species. Oldenlandia corymbosa Linn. is an important medicinal plant that grows as a weedy annual herb throughout Bangladesh. However, no previous studies have reported the antineoplastic and antioxidant potentials of Oldenlandia corymbosa leaves. Based on this fact, this investigation evaluated the methanol extract of Oldenlandia corymbosa Linn. leaves (MELO) for its antioxidant and antineoplastic properties. Different in vitro experiments were applied here to measure the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of MELO. Functional assays were utilized to measure the antineoplastic activity of MELO against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) in mice. MELO contains rich phenolic compounds, flavonoids, flavonol, and proanthocyanidin. In vitro antioxidant assay, MELO exhibited significant ABTS▪ (IC50: 98.07 μg/mL) and DPPH (IC50: 151.21μg/mL) radicals scavenging activity when compared with the positive control (Ascorbic acid). MELO also showed total antioxidant and ferrous-reducing properties. In the antineoplastic study, dose-dependent reduction in viable EAC cell count was observed in MELO-treated groups. In contrast, treatment with MELO significantly (P0.05) increased the mean survival time and life span (65.21%) of EAC-bearing mice. The altered hematological parameters of mice of the EAC control group were restored to the normal level by treating MELO. MELO also induced the apoptotic features observed in the morphology of DAPI-stained EAC cells. As identified by GC/MS analysis, the Phytochemical profiles of MELO are also consistent with their antioxidant, antineoplastic and apoptotic properties. Thus, the methanol extract of Oldenlandia corymbosa leaves (MELO) has the potential to consider a good source of antioxidants and antineoplastic agents.

Abstract

Antioxidants are chemical compounds that donate one or more electrons to free radicals to inhibit free radical reactions. One of the potential antioxidant sources is gandaria fruit (Bouea Macrophylla Griff). This research aims to determine the antioxidant activity and vitamin C content of the gandaria fruit extract. Gandaria fruit was macerated with ethanol as a solvent. Furthermore, the rotated extract was carried out for the phytochemical screening. The results of the phytochemical screening of the gandaria fruit extract showed a positive of flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, and phenolics. The gandaria fruit extract was tested for antioxidants and quantitative analysis of vitamin C levels to obtain IC50 values and vitamin C levels using spectrophotometry UV-Vis at a wavelength of 517nm with vitamin C as a positive control. The results of spectrophotometric measurements revealed that the gandaria fruit extract had an IC50 value of 5.72 g/ml, and vitamin C had an IC50 value of 2.260 g/ml, indicating that the gandaria fruit extract and vitamin C had very strong antioxidants. The value of vitamin C levels was 0.526 mg.
