    Abstract Objectives: Liver ischemia/reperfusion damage frequently occurs in setting of hepatic resection and liver transplantation. It leads to disturbance in remote organs such as heart, lung and kidneys. This study explored the consequences of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion on the oxidative stress parameters, biochemical factors, and histopathological alterations in the kidney's rats, as well as evaluated the role of zinc sulfate on above-mentioned parameters. Materials and methods: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were accidently assigned into four groups (n = 7). They were Sham, ischemia/reperfusion, zinc sulfate pretreatment, and zinc sulfate pretreatment + ischemia/reperfusion groups. Sham group: obtained normal saline (2 ml/day, seven consecutive days), intraperitoneally, zinc sulfate pretreatment group: obtained zinc sulfate (5 mg/kg, seven consecutive days, intraperitoneally). Ischemia/reperfusion group: obtained normal saline as mentioned previous, then rats experienced the partial ischemia () for 45 min followed by 60 min reperfusion. Zinc sulfate pretreatment group: obtained zinc sulfate as mentioned previous, then rats experience the partial ischemia/reperfusion as presented earlier. At the end of investigation, blood was withdrawn, liver and renal tissues were removed. Then, biochemical and oxidative stress parameters, and histological changes were evaluated in the mentioned tissues. Results: The findings of this experiment indicated that zinc sulfate markedly reduced the serum levels of liver and kidney function tests in relative to ischemia/reperfusion group. Also, antioxidant enzymes activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and nitric oxide significantly increased, while malondialdehyde level declined in the renal tissue of zinc sulfate + ischemia/reperfusion group compared to ischemia/reperfusion rats. Furthermore, zinc sulfate alleviated the liver and kidneys histopathological alterations following ischemia/reperfusion. Conclusion: Zinc sulfate ameliorated liver and kidney function, and improved ...

    Abstract Background. Cisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer drug; however, it has dose-dependent renal toxicity. The current study aims to investigate the protective effects of Zataria multiflora Boiss. hydroalcoholic extract (Z.M.B), carvacrol, and thymol on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods. Forty-two Wistar male rats were randomly allocated into six groups (n = 7). Group I received normal saline; group II received Cis (7 mg/kg. ip); group III received the Z.M.B extract only (500 mg/kg/d, po); group IV received Z.M.B extract (500 mg/kg/d, po) + Cis; group V received carvacrol (50 mg/kg/d, po) + Cis; and group VI received thymol (50 mg/kg/d, po) + Cis. The levels of biochemical markers, oxidative stress parameters, and histopathological staining were determined in serum and renal tissues. Also, the chemical compositions (carvacrol and thymol) of the Z.M.B extract were assayed by HPLC analysis. Result. The results revealed that Z.M.B extract, carvacrol, and thymol markedly decreased the renal index as compared with the Cis-only group. Also, carvacrol and thymol significantly reduced the blood urea nitrogen level as compared with the Cis-only group. Furthermore, Z.M.B extract, carvacrol, and thymol significantly attenuated the Cis-induced increase in malondialdehyde and nitric oxide metabolite. Additionally, histopathological examination showed that Z.M.B extract, carvacrol, and thymol markedly ameliorated Cis-induced renal tubular necrosis. Conclusion. The results showed renoprotective effects of Z.M.B extract, carvacrol, and thymol in Cis-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Therefore, Z.M.B extract can be considered as a potential candidate for the protection of nephrotoxicity induced by Cis.

    Abstract Watercress (WC) is an aquatic vegetable that belongs to the Brassicaceae family, and it often grows near water. In traditional medicine, WC is a known remedy for hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, arthritis, bronchitis, diuresis, odontalgia, and scurvy. It also acts as an antiestrogenic and can be used as a nutritional supplement. It has been reported that these therapeutic effects are due to primary metabolites such as isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids, and proanthocyanidins), vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, E, and C), terpenes (including carotenoids), and bioelements which exist in this plant. Many pharmacological studies confirm the antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, antipsoriatic, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, renoprotective, hepatoprotective, and antigenotoxicity effects of WC. The consumption of WC extract can be useful in reducing the complications of hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia. Furthermore, the extract of WC could markedly augment the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase activity. Interestingly, consumption of food rich in polyphenols such as WC extract can help reduce oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cancer susceptibility. Several studies also showed that WC extract significantly reduced liver injury as a result of cholestatic hepatic injury, gamma radiation, arsenic, and acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. In this review, the researchers focus on the phytochemical and biochemical characterizations of WC and its therapeutic effects in the treatment of human diseases.

    Abstract The present study focused on the synthesis, introduction and investigation of the biological effects of sulfonamide-derived products as new azo-sulfonamides (samples 1–6). In this transformation, the amine sulfonamide is first converted to the corresponding diazonium salt, which is then attacked by a nucleophilic carbon of the aromatic ring in the playing medium. All products were obtained with reasonable yields and high purity. The structure of synthesized derivatives was determined using various analytical tools including FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and XRD spectroscopy, and the synthesized products were purified and identified. Biological properties of newly synthesized azo-compounds similar to SSZAD were also investigated. These compounds were tested in terms of biological effectiveness. The results of biochemical assays show that: the products have significant biological properties. MTT toxicity of compounds in breast cancer cells (MCF-7) for compounds 1–6 according to IC50 compare to Vinblastine is Vin > 5 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 3 > 1. The biochemical results obtained were analyzed by molecular docking interaction studies and showed strong hydrogen bonding with the target receptor. The docking calculation has been invoked to reveal the type of interactions that synthesized compounds can establish with the residues forming the active sites of the target proteins, 1FDW the three higher scores molecules appears to be (6 > 1 > 2), 3FC2 (the three highest binding affinities are in the order of 1 > 3 > 6), and 5GWK (three highest binding affinities are 1 > 3 > 6). The results indicate the effective interaction of all products with the targets. The molecular dynamics simulation has been invoked to study the presence of a stable system of the interacting protein–ligand.

    Abstract Background. Stachys L. (Lamiaceae) includes more than 300 annual or perennial species growing in temperate regions of Southern Africa, the Mediterranean, America, and Asia. Stachys pilifera Benth (S. pilifera), also known as Marzeh Kuhi, is an endemic species from Iran. It is found in the mountainous habitats of the Zagros area. It has various traditional uses, and the phytochemical ingredients and some biological activities of this species have been examined in previous studies. Methods. PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science Web databases were used to gather the data. The purpose of this review is to consolidate the scattered knowledge reported in the literature about botany, traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacological properties, and safety of S. pilifera and suggest its potential medicinal properties. Key Findings. In traditional Iranian medicine, S. pilifera manages various illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis, common cold, infections, asthma, and tussive. More than 30 compounds have been identified in S. pilifera essential oil. The compounds found in S. pilifera are phenolic compounds, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which have various properties such as antioxidant, nephroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, and anticancer properties. Conclusions. The literature reveals that S. pilifera is an essential source of bioactive phytochemicals and illustrates the unknown area of this plant for new investigations. Moreover, we recommend that future research focus on toxicology and quality control studies for S. pilifera to fill the knowledge gap and provide theoretical support for the plant’s possible functional and clinical uses.

    Abstract Background: Acetaminophen (APAP) at high doses causes adverse side effects such as hepatotoxicity. The aim of the current study was to investigate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Stachys pilifera. Benth (SP) on hepatotoxicity induced by APAP in male rats. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were allocated into four groups: control (C), APAP (2 g/kg), APAP + SP (500 mg/kg), and APAP + Silymarin (SM, 100 mg/kg) as positive control group. On the seventh day, the rats were sacrificed after taking blood samples. Then levels of biochemical parameters, oxidative stress markers and activity of antioxidant enzymes were measured. Results: In the APAP group, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes activity was significantly increased and the level of protein carbonyl (PCO) was insignificantly increased as compared to control group. In addition, the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and total thiol in the APAP group was significantly decreased compared to the normal rats. Stachys pilifera. Benth extract administration significantly reduced the activity of AST and ALT enzymes and the level of PCO compared to the APAP group, while significantly elevated the activity of GPX enzyme. Conclusion: Hydroalcoholic extract of SP diminishes hepatotoxicity induced by APAP by reducing the amount of liver function indicators (AST and ALT). Furthermore, the hydroalcoholic extract of SP is capable of reducing oxidative stress through inhibiting protein oxidation as well as boosting the activity of GPX enzyme. In this respect, the hepatoprotective impact induced by the SP extract may possibly be attributable to its reactive oxygen species scavenging and antioxidant properties.

    Abstract Introduction: Cholestasis is a liver disease caused by a malfunction of the hepato-biliary system. Oxidative stress as a systemic complication is the main characteristic of cholestasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects of Portulaca oleracea (PO) methanolic extract on liver dysfunction and tissue damage induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in rats. Materials and methods: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham control (SC), BDL alone, SC plus 500 mg/kg methanolic extract of PO orally for 1 week, and BDL plus 500 mg/kg methanolic extract of PO orally for 1 week. After 1 week, the animals were anesthetized, and the liver and blood samples were taken from each animal. Biochemical parameters, oxidative stress biomarkers, histopathological changes, as well as the gene expression of IL-1, TNF-α, TGF-β, and α-SMA have been evaluated. Results: The methanolic extract of PO at a dose of 500 mg/kg significantly decreased the plasma levels of aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase as compared to BDL group (P < 0.05), while it had no significant effect on the levels of oxidative stress markers in the hepatic tissue. The plasma level of malondialdehyde and ferric-reducing antioxidant power were markedly elevated in the BDL group in comparison to SC group (P < 0.05), while treatment with PO significantly reduced these markers (P < 0.05). The administration of PO attenuated hydroxyproline content, bile duct proliferation, and inflammation score in the cholestatic liver in contrast to non-treated BDL rats (P < 0.05). Moreover, the methanolic extract of PO markedly declined the expression of TNF-α and TGF-β pro inflammatory genes in contrast to BDL rats. Conclusions: Taken together, our findings showed that PO attenuated liver injury by decreasing liver function tests, inflammation, and hydroxyproline content. As a result, it is suggested that PO can be applied in cholestatic liver damage as a therapeutic or adjuvant agent.

    Abstract Background. Increased oxidative stress play an important role in the risk of cardiovascular disease, mortality, and mortality patients undergoing dialysis. Nasturtium officinale (watercress) contains numerous phytochemical compounds that act as an antioxidant by preventing oxidative damage to biomolecules. Therefore, this research aimed to explore the effect of the ethanolic extract of Nasturtium officinale (EENO) on antioxidant and biochemical markers of hemodialysis patients. Methods. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 46 hemodialysis patients were randomly recruited to consume either 500 mg/day EENO (n = 23) or placebo capsule (n = 23) for 4 weeks, at Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Yasuj, Iran, in 2019. Biomarkers of oxidative stress including glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and total sulfhydryl protein (T-SH) and biochemical parameters such as BUN, Hb, WBC, PLT, Ca, Ph, K, ALB, TChol, TG, LDL, and HDL were evaluated on days 0 and 28. Results. The serum levels of MDA and BUN significantly decreased after taking EENO supplementation P<0.001; however, SOD activity increased during the same period P<0.001. The serum levels of TAC remained constant in the intervention group, while it significantly declined in the placebo group P<0.09. The extract also prevented elevation in the serum levels of LDL and TG compared to the placebo group, although it was not statistically significant. Conclusions. The data indicated that the consumption of EENO improved some of the antioxidant parameters and minimizes the change in TG and LDL in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, due to the role of these factors in mortality and morbidity of dialysis patients, EENO can improve the condition of dialysis patients. However, more studies with longer intervention times and different doses of EENO are recommended.
