Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of ethanol extract of P. granatum against arthritis in rat model. Methods: Twenty-six adult male Wistar rats (120 - 150 g) were separated into four groups (n = 6): normal control, arthritic control and two treatment groups. With the exception of normal control group, arthritis was induced by intraplantar administration of Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) on the 1st day of drug administration. The arthritic control group was not treated, while the treatment groups received extract orally at 500 or 750 mg/kg for the period of 4 weeks and at the end of each week, paw volume, thermal hyperalgesia, arthritic score and mechanical nociceptive threshold were performed to assess arthritis. Biochemical indicators and inflammatory cytokines in serum were determined using standard procedures. Results: There was significant decrease in paw volume and arthritic score; paw withdrawal latency was enhanced in extract-treated groups, compared to arthritic control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, ALT, AST and ALP levels, as well as RF and MDA activities decreased significantly with extract treatment, compared with arthritic control group (p < 0.05). Treatment with the extract attenuated the altered level of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and TNF-α levels in arthritic rats. Histological examination showed that treatment with the extract significantly reversed histological changes induced by arthritis. Conclusion: The results reveal that the beneficial effect of ethanol extract of P. granatum against FCAinduced arthritis is due to its ability to reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of juglone on LPS induced lung injury in a mouse model and in TC 1cell line.Methods: Edema formation in lungs were measured by determination of lung wet/dry weight. Expressions of various proteins were assessed by western blot assay, while Sirt1 level was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Mice were randomly assigned to nine groups of 10 mice each: normal control, untreated and seven juglone treatment groups. Acute lung injury was induced in mice by injecting LPS (10 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal route (ip). The treatment groups were given 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100 μM of juglone, ip, respectively.Results: The levels of MMP-9, IL-6, IL-1β and iNOS were significantly higher in acute lung injury induced mice compared than the control group (p < 0.05). Treatment of the mice with juglone significantly decreased LPS-induced up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependentmanner. The production of inflammatory cytokines was almost completely inhibited in the mice treated with 100 mg/kg dose of juglone, while treatment of the LPS-stimulated TC 1 cells with juglone upregulated the expression of Sirt1 mRNA. Down-regulation of Sirt1 expression by siRNA inhibited the effect of juglone on LPS-induced increase in inflammatory cytokine production.Conclusion: Juglone prevents lung injury in mice via up-regulation of Sirt1 expression. Therefore, juglone might be useful for the development of a treatment strategy for lung injury.

Gentamicin can induce damage to the kidney because of the accumulation of epithelial cells in the cortex. This accumulation can cause an increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which in turn can trigger an increase in free radicals which causes a decrease in kidney function, which can be seen with Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and sCr (serum creatinine) parameters. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) contains several bioactive compounds, including alliin, allisin, ajoene, and allil cysteine. The content of allisin has activity as an antioxidant. This study used a nephrotoxic mouse modelling method with 100 mg/kgBW of gentamicin induction intraperitoneally, then BUN and sCr levels were checked 24 hours after the 10th day induction. This study aimed to determine the effect of garlic ethanol extract in preventing the decline of renal function in rats induced by gentamicin with a parameter of BUN and sCr. The animal test were divided into 5 treatment groups, normal control group, negative controls, and three treatment groups at a dose of 50, 120, and 300 mg/kgBW for 10 days of concurrent treatment between extracts with gentamicin. The results of the study showed that garlic ethanol extract with a dose of  50, 120, 300 mg/kgBW was able to prevent a decrease  in kidney function due to the administration of gentamicin significantly when compared with negative controls (p 0,05).

Antidiabetic activity of Vernonia amygdalina and its possible synergism with glibenclamide was checked. Forty eight rats were used for the research, for hypoglycermic study of V. amygdalina alone, they were grouped into five of six rats each. Group 1 was the negative control and was administered distilled water orally. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were the treatment groups which received 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of the V. amygdalina extract respectively orally by intubation. Group 5 was the positive control group which received a known antidiabetic drug, glibenclamide. Diabetes was induced with alloxan. For the synergism study, another 18 rats grouped into 3 of six rats each was used. Both groups of glibenclamide only and glibenclamide plus V. amygdalina extract were dosed for 14 days orally by intubation, thereafter were sacrificed and blood collected from heart for analysis. There were 5 replicates grouped by weight throughout the study and both single and synergistic studies had the same controls. Effect of V. amygdalina extract was checked on blood glucose and its possible synergism with glibenclamide. All results in treatment groups were compared with the normal control at statistical confidence of p<0.05. Result shows that V. amygdalina extract reduced blood glucose level in the test groups as dose of extract increased. Combination of V. amygdalina with glibenclamide demonstrated further deduction in blood glucose levels in the treatment rats groups. Therefore addition of V. amygdalina into glibenclamide increased efficacy in the diabetic rats. The interaction between V. amygdalina and glibenclamide in this work was additive and therefore synergistic.

Background: The god’s crown fruits have properties as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. Toxic doses of paracetamol can injure the liver through toxic metabolite bonds with cytoplasmic proteins that cause free radicals to form. The aim of this research is to know the effect of the crown of gods extracts on paracetamol hepatotoxicity. Method: A total of 30 of Webster swiss mice with a weight of ± 20 grams, age 3 months were randomly assigned to five groups, negative control, positive control, treatment 1,2 and 3. A 70% ethanol extract of god’s crown fruit given in doses 60mg, 120mg and 240mg per kgBB mice. The extract was administered for 14 days in the treatment groups, then on day 15 paracetamol ware administered in a given dose 300mg/kgBB for 1 day for the positive control group and treatment groups. On day 16, the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were examined from the orbital sinuses and animals terminated liver tissues taken and immediately fixed in 10% buffer formalin for histological examination. Results and Discussion: The 70% ethanol extract of the god’s crown fruits decreased blood serum levels of AST and ALT, and these results were supported by histopathologic scores of the liver in which histopathologic scores were improved with the increasing doses (p < 0.05). The secondary metabolite contents of the god’s crown fruit extract served as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, protecting hepatic injury from the toxic metabolite of paracetamol. Conclusion: A 70% ethanol extract of god’s crown fruit (Phaleria macrocarpa) have hepatoprotective properties that effectively prevent hepatic injury due to paracetamol toxic dose.

The model of chronic immune inflammation caused by the administration of Freund’s complete adjuvant (CFA) into a hind paw of rats is used as a model of rheumatoid arthritis. Under this condition, the joints of other limbs, along with those subject to the action of CFA, are damaged. The aim of this study was to compare the severity of the inflammatory process in rats with a primary reaction (edema of the left hind paw) and a secondary immunological inflammatory response (edema of the right hind paw) towards a sub-plantar injection of CFA in the left hind paw of the experimental animals.Inflammation was induced by the sub-plantar administration of 0.1 ml of CFA into the left hind paw of outbred rats. Such indicators as the edema of the metatarsus and the ankle joints of the hind paws, the weight of the animals and the skin temperature of the paws were recorded on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day of the experiment. The pain threshold was recorded using a plantar test on the 15th day. Hematological parameters were assessed on the 14th and 28th day.Both a primary reaction and a secondary immunological reaction was developed on the 7th day of the experiment in 11 out of 20 animals having received CFA, while the rest of the rats demonstrated inflammation exclusively in the left hind paw. On the 7th day of the experiment, the animals with inflammation showed a higher skin temperature in the hind paws compared to the control group. The maximum edema in the rats with a primary reaction and secondary immunological inflammatory response was recorded on the 14th day of the experiment. On the 14th day, the rats with induced inflammation showed an increase in a number of hematological parameters, with the elevation being more pronounced in the animals with generalized inflammation. As a result of inflammation, pain sensitivity increased in both groups of animals with induced inflammation. In these groups, both a decrease in the edema of the paws and the normalization of hematological parameters were observed on the 28th day of the experiment. It is concluded that the most pronounced inflammatory reaction has developed by the 14th day following CFA administration, with its intensity having reduced by the 28th day. These results might be useful when assessing the pharmacological activity of various compounds using this model.
