Indigofera linifolia (L.f.) Retz. is used in subcontinent for liver disorders, in wounds, febrile eruption and as diuretic.
The current study evaluates the protective effects of the methanol extract of Indigofera linifolia (ILM) on CCl-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in liver of rat.
ILM was analyzed for phytochemical classes, total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) as well as multidimensional in vitro antioxidant assays. Male (Sprague Dawley) rats were dispersed into seven groups (6 rats/group) receiving 0.9% saline (1 ml/kg bw), CCl (1 ml/kg bw) diluted in olive oil (3:7 v/v), silymarin (200 mg/kg bw) + CCl (30% v/v), ILM (150 mg/kg bw) + CCl (30% v/v), ILM (300 mg/kg bw) + CCl and ILM alone (either 150 mg/kg bw or 300 mg/kg bw).
ILM extract was constituted of different phytochemical classes. Co-administration of ILM along with CCl to rat revert the level of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin in blood serum and antioxidant parameters in liver. Further, CCl increased the level of ER stress markers and inflammatory mediators while decreased level of GCLC and Nrf-2 in liver tissues of rat. CCl-induced histopathological variations were reduced with ILM co-administration in liver tissues.
The results suggest that active phyto-constituents of I. linifolia might be responsible for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gene-regulating activities.
木蓝(L.f.)Retz. 在次大陆用于肝脏疾病、伤口、发热疹和利尿剂。
本研究评估甲醇提取物木蓝(ILM)对 CCl 诱导的大鼠肝脏内质网(ER)应激的保护作用。
分析 ILM 的植物化学类、总酚(TPC)和类黄酮含量(TFC)以及多维体外抗氧化测定。雄性(斯普拉格-道利)大鼠分为 7 组(每组 6 只),分别给予 0.9%生理盐水(1ml/kg bw)、橄榄油(3:7 v/v)稀释的 CCl(1ml/kg bw)、水飞蓟素(200mg/kg bw)+CCl(30% v/v)、ILM(150mg/kg bw)+CCl(30% v/v)、ILM(300mg/kg bw)+CCl 和单独的 ILM(150mg/kg bw 或 300mg/kg bw)。
ILM 提取物由不同的植物化学类组成。ILM 与 CCl 一起给予大鼠可使血清丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)、天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)和总胆红素水平以及肝脏抗氧化参数恢复正常。此外,CCl 增加了 ER 应激标志物和炎症介质的水平,同时降低了肝脏组织中 GCLC 和 Nrf-2 的水平。ILM 联合给药可减少 CCl 诱导的肝脏组织的组织病理学变化。
结果表明,木蓝的活性植物成分可能与其抗氧化、抗炎和基因调节活性有关。
