Antioxidant attenuation of ROS-involved cytotoxicity induced by Paraquat on HL-60 cells
The cytotoxic effects of Paraquat, an herbicide refractory to treatment after intentional or accidental contact, were investigated on the human leukemia HL-60 cells. With the establishment of Paraquat injury model of HL-60 cells, trypan blue exclusion assaying was performed to have determined the effects of Paraquat-induced cytotoxicity on HL-60 cells in a concentrationdependent manner. Upon tr...
متن کاملAntioxidant and apoptosis-inducing activities of ellagic acid.
BACKGROUND Antioxidant, antiproliferative and apoptosis inducing activities of a natural polyphenolic compound, ellagic acid, were studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS DPPH radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities were observed. Activities of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) were measured in ellagic acid-treated ...
متن کاملEffect of Clarithromycin on Enhancement of Doxorubicin-induced Cytotoxicity and Apoptosis in A549 Tumor-Cell Line
Background and purpose: Nowadays, multi-drug regimens or combination therapy are new approaches in cancer treatment that combine two or several therapeutic agents. Combination therapy aims at improving the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs while reducing toxicity and preventing drug resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the synergistic effect of combined clarithromycin and d...
متن کاملSynergistic antioxidant action of Phikud Navakot ameliorates hydrogen peroxide-induced stress in human endothelial cells
BACKGROUND Phikud Navakot (PN), a combination of nine herbs, has been used traditionally in Thai medicinal formulas to relieve circulatory disorder. The present study aimed to compare the synergistic antioxidant efficacy and toxicity of the hydroethanolic and water extracts of PN at cellular level. METHODS PN and its nine herbs were extracted with either 50% ethanol or water. All extracts wer...
متن کاملGallic Acid Ameliorates Bisphenol A-Induced Toxicity in Wistar Rats
Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has received attention in environmental and toxicological research due to its widespread effects in biological systems. While several anti-oxidants have been used in ameliorating BPA-induced toxicities in experimental animals, there is the scarcity of research information on the use of Gallic acid (GA) in protecting against BPA-induced toxicity. This study investig...
