Abstract The successful clinical management of spinal cord injury (SCI) is still a unmet medical need. Despite advances in novel therapeutics, the multifactorial etiology of SCI still poses significant challenge to the mankind. Thus, in the present study, we intend to scrutinize the protective effect of Boldine (BOL), an alkaloid obtained from the boldo tree against experimental spinal cord injury. The effect of BOL was investigated on locomotor function of rats with various biomarkers of oxidative stress (MDA, SOD and GSH), inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), and apoptosis. Results suggest that BOL showed improvement in locomotor function (on BBB scale) of rats with does-dependent reduction in oxidative stress and inflammation. It also reduces neuronal apoptosis in flow cytometry experiment. The study successfully demonstrated the possible clinical utility of BOL against SCI.
