The current investigation employed rosuvastatin for evaluation as an antiarthritic agent by and studies. studies comprised egg albumin and bovine serum albumin protein denaturation assays along with membrane stabilization assays, while studies comprised formaldehyde and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-provoked arthritis. The antioxidant potential was estimated via DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric reducing assays. Rosuvastatin significantly inhibited heat-provoked protein denaturation of egg albumin and bovine serum in a concentration-dependent way with the highest inhibition of 1225 ± 9.83 and 82.80 ± 4.03 at 6400 μg/mL. The percentage protection of the RBC membrane from hypotonicity-prompted lysis was found to be 80.67 ± 2.7. Rosuvastatin promisingly subdued formaldehyde-provoked arthritis, with maximum reduction (65.47%) of the paw volume being observed at a dose of 40 mg/kg. Rosuvastatin also significantly ( < 0.001) attenuated arthritis induced by CFA injection by reducing the paw volume and arthritic index. The reduction in the body weight due to CFA injection was also preserved by rosuvastatin treatment. Hematological and biochemical changes due to arthritis induction by CFA injection were also maintained near normal values by rosuvastatin. The histopathological and radiographic investigation also revealed the protective effect of rosuvastatin on preventing structural changes. Gene expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 was reduced, while IL-4 and IL-10 levels were elevated by rosuvastatin in comparison to those for the disease control group. Concentration-dependent antioxidant potential was shown by rosuvastatin. Thus, rosuvastatin possesses a notable antiarthritic potential as evidenced via and studies.
当前的研究通过[具体研究1]和[具体研究2]使用瑞舒伐他汀作为抗关节炎药物进行评估。[具体研究1]包括卵清蛋白和牛血清白蛋白蛋白质变性测定以及膜稳定性测定,而[具体研究2]包括甲醛和完全弗氏佐剂(CFA)诱发的关节炎。通过DPPH自由基清除和铁还原测定来评估抗氧化潜力。瑞舒伐他汀以浓度依赖性方式显著抑制卵清蛋白和牛血清的热诱导蛋白质变性,在6400μg/mL时最高抑制率分别为1225±9.83和82.80±4.03。发现红细胞膜对低渗诱导裂解的保护百分比为80.67±2.7。瑞舒伐他汀有望抑制甲醛诱发的关节炎,在40mg/kg剂量下观察到爪体积最大减少(65.47%)。瑞舒伐他汀还通过减少爪体积和关节炎指数显著(P<0.001)减轻CFA注射诱导的关节炎。瑞舒伐他汀治疗也保留了CFA注射导致的体重减轻。瑞舒伐他汀还使CFA注射诱导关节炎引起的血液学和生化变化维持在接近正常值的水平。组织病理学和影像学研究也揭示了瑞舒伐他汀对预防结构变化的保护作用。与疾病对照组相比,瑞舒伐他汀降低了IL-1β、TNF-α和IL-6的基因表达,同时升高了IL-4和IL-10水平。瑞舒伐他汀表现出浓度依赖性抗氧化潜力。因此,如通过[具体研究1]和[具体研究2]所示,瑞舒伐他汀具有显著的抗关节炎潜力。
