: Isofraxidin is a hydroxylcoumarin derived from herbal Fraxinus and Eleutherococcus. It has been shown that isofraxidin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-lipidemic effects. The study aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of isofraxidin with and without methylprednisolone to ameliorate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine-releasing syndrome. : The study comprised two phases: preventive and therapeutic. In all the experiments that involved LPS induction, a single dose of LPS (5 mg/kg) was used. The preventive phase involved the administration of the agents before LPS induction, in which 50 mg/kg of methylprednisolone, 15 mg/kg of isofraxidin, or a combination of 7.5 mg/kg of isofraxidin plus 25 mg/kg methylprednisolone were given daily for 3 days before induction. The therapeutic phase involved the administration of the following agents after LPS induction: 50 mg/kg methylprednisolone, 15 mg/kg of isofraxidin, or a combination of 7.5 mg/kg of isofraxidin plus 25 mg/kg methylprednisolone were given once daily was given for 7 days. : Isofraxidin treatment with or without methylprednisolone ameliorates LPS-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress damage in mice; it reduces the inflammatory (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, Malondialdehyde, and IFN-γ) and oxidative stress markers. Additionally, isofraxidin treatment with or without methylprednisolone prevented liver and lung tissue damage induced by LPS. : Isofraxidin exhibited preventive and therapeutic properties against lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine storms in mice via anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways, and its combination with methylprednisolone demonstrated synergistic outcomes.
异嗪皮啶是一种从草药白蜡树和刺五加中提取的羟基香豆素。研究表明,异嗪皮啶具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗糖尿病和抗血脂作用。本研究旨在探讨异嗪皮啶联合或不联合甲泼尼龙改善脂多糖(LPS)诱导的细胞因子释放综合征的治疗效果。:本研究包括两个阶段:预防阶段和治疗阶段。在所有涉及LPS诱导的实验中,均使用单剂量的LPS(5mg/kg)。预防阶段包括在LPS诱导前给药,在诱导前3天每天给予50mg/kg甲泼尼龙、15mg/kg异嗪皮啶或7.5mg/kg异嗪皮啶加25mg/kg甲泼尼龙的组合。治疗阶段包括在LPS诱导后给药:50mg/kg甲泼尼龙、15mg/kg异嗪皮啶或7.5mg/kg异嗪皮啶加25mg/kg甲泼尼龙的组合,每天给药一次,持续7天。:异嗪皮啶联合或不联合甲泼尼龙治疗可改善LPS诱导的小鼠炎症和氧化应激损伤;它降低了炎症(IL-6、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-8、丙二醛和IFN-γ)和氧化应激标志物。此外,异嗪皮啶联合或不联合甲泼尼龙治疗可预防LPS诱导的肝肺组织损伤。:异嗪皮啶通过抗炎和抗氧化途径对小鼠脂多糖诱导的细胞因子风暴具有预防和治疗作用,其与甲泼尼龙联合使用显示出协同效果。
