JRK’s Anti-coff was studied for reactive oxygen species scavenging benefit inorder to establish the anti-oxidant therapeutic benefit. Findings clearly show that the herbs used in JRK’s Anti-coff such as Anisochilus carnosus, Leucas aspera, Ocimum sanctum, Solanum trilobatum, Acalypha indica, and Adhatoda vasica showed antioxidant effect. We have attempted to co-relate the above benefit of JRK’s Anti-coff with the blood purification benefit postulated by Ayurveda and Siddha. Further the importance of blood purification for the treatment of several diseases is discussed. Keywords: Ocimum sanctum, ROS, Blood purification effect, JRK’s Anti- coff

Abstract Abstract 1166 Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder characterized by genomic instability, bone marrow (BM) failure and predisposition to cancer. However, FA mouse models do not show spontaneous genetic instability. Previous study shows that FOXO3a is associated with the FA pathway through oxidative stress-specific interaction with FANCD2. To address the consequence of loss of FOXO3a function in FA hematopoiesis, we generated Foxo3a-/-Fancd2-/- and Foxo3a-/-Fancc-/- double-knockout (DKO) mice by crossing Foxo3a+/− with Fancd2+/− or Fancc+/−; mice. Reactive oxygen species are increased in low-density BM (LDBM) cells isolated from DKO mice compared to those from single KO (SKO) or wt mice. Analysis of hematologic parameters shows significantly increased number of nucleate cells and high ratio of eosinophils in peripheral blood of DKO mice. CFU assay shows more progenitor cells in peripheral blood isolated from DKO mice. Moreover, BM progenitor cells from DKO mice exhibit lower adhesion but higher migration activity, compared to those from wt or SKO mice. Consistent with this, Cdc42 pull-down assay shows lower Cdc42 activity in DKO LDBM cells than in wt or SKO cells, indicating that decreased Cdc42 may contribute to the observed aberrant adhesion and migration activities. DKO mice show significant decrease in primitive progenitor (Lin-Sca-1+c-kit+; LSK) cells, increase in BrdU+ and G1-phase LSK cells, and impaired repopulating capacity after competitive BM transplantation, which can be attenuated by the anti-oxidant Quercetin. Taken together, loss of Foxo3a in FA mice results in FA-like syndrome, which may be resulted from increased reactive oxygen species accumulation.

Hipoksia kronik merupakan salah satu penyebab penyakit ginjal akibat peningkatan pembentukan Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)  dalam sel. Kombinasi ekstrak akar Acalypha indica 250 mg/KgBB (AI250) dan Centella asiatica 150 mg/kgBB (CA150) memiliki efek neuroterapi pada tikus Spraque Dawley pascahipoksia. Penelitian dilakukan untuk membuktikan manfaat kombinasi ekstrak etanol dan/atau ekstrak tunggalnya dapat memperbaiki kerusakan ginjal tikus pascahipoksia melalui mekanisme antioksidan. 28 tikus jantan dikelompokkan dalam 7 kelompok: kontrol normal; kontrol hipoksia+air; hipoksia+(AI200+CA150); hipoksia+(AI250+CA100); hipoksia+AI250; hipoksia+CA150; hipoksia+vitamin C. Hipoksia selama 7 hari dalam hypoxic chamber berisi O2 10% dan N2 90%, 1 atm. Setiap kelompok diberi perlakuan selama 7 hari. Pada akhir studi hewan diterminasi. Darah dan organ ginjal diambil untuk pemeriksaan biokimia dan histopatologi.Kombinasi  (AI250+CA100) menurunkan kadar MDA ginjal dan plasma secara bermakna dibandingkan kontrol hipoksia (p=0,001 dan p=0,021) dan AI250 (p=0,003 dan 0,043). Kombinasi AI250+CA100 terjadi penurunan ekspresi relatif mRNA HIF-1α (p=0,014), kadar urea plasma (p=0,001) dan perbaikan lesi intra-glomerulus p=0,013.Kesimpulan: Kombinasi (AI250+CA100) dan tunggal AI250 memiliki aktivitas antioksidan terbaik dalam mencegah kerusakan ginjal pascahipoksia, secara biokimiawi dan histopatologinya.

A growing body of evidence indicates that the pro-oxidant/anti-oxidant balance inside the ovarian follicle plays an important role in folliculogenesis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the redox status of follicular fluids collected from different-sized swine follicles. We quantified the most important reactive oxygen species (ROS), namely superoxide anion (O2–), hydrogen peroxide and hydroperoxides (ROOH); in addition, we examined the activity of the detoxifying enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase and the total non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity as determined by the ferric-reducing anti-oxidant power assay. Our data demonstrate that oxidative stress does not affect follicle growth because O2– levels do not change during follicle development, whereas concentrations of H2O2 and ROOH are reduced (P < 0.05). Surprisingly, all non-enzymatic and enzymatic scavengers examined in the present study, except for CAT, demonstrated reduced activity during follicle development (P < 0.05). Taken together, these results suggest that other factors could be involved in ROS detoxification during follicle development.
