| Abstract: |
Cisplatin (CP), an effective chemotherapeutic drug, has been widely used to treat the several types of tumors. Orientin (ORI) is a flavonoid that shows versatile therapeutic activities. The current research was planned to observe the protective role ORI on CP induced renal injury in rats. Twenty-four male rats were divided into four groups equally and termed as control, CP (10 mg/kg), CP (10 mg/kg) + ORI (40 mg/kg) and ORI (40 mg/kg). After seven days trial, rats were dissected and different parameters were analyzed. Results indicated that the CP administration significantly reduced the activities of catalase, peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione content whereas it increased the level of hydrogen peroxide and TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances). CP increased the creatinine and urea levels while decreased the creatinine clearance. Moreover, CP significantly increased the inflammatory markers, including nuclear factor kappa-B, tumor necrosis factor-α, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-1β levels, cyclooxygenase-2 activity and histopathological damages. However, coadministration of ORI displayed curative effects against CP-induced renal toxicity and recovered all parameters by bringing them to a normal level. These results revealed that the ORI is a potential bioflavonoid that can potentially counter the CP-induced renal damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
