Abstract:

Background and purpose: Cisplatin is used in chemotherapy for cancer patients. But, it has adverse effects on some organs, including the kidney and liver. P-coumaric acid is a polyphenolic substance with multiple biological properties. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of p-coumaric acid on renal and hepatic side effects of cisplatin. Materials and methods: This experimental study was performed in 21 male rats that were randomly divided into three groups. In the sham group, 20% ethanol was gavaged for 7 days. The experimental group I received 20% ethanol for 7 days + a single dose of cisplatin )8 mg/kg( at day 5. The experimental group II received cisplatin (8 mg/kg at day 5) + p-coumaric acid (100 mg/kg/day) for 7 days. The functional disturbances of kidney and liver were assessed by measuring the blood levels of creatinine, urea-nitrogen, AST, ALT, and ALP. Also, measuring MDA and FRAP levels in kidney and liver tissues were used to assess oxidative stress. The tissue damages were also assessed by studying H&E stained slides. Results: Cisplatin administration increased the concentrations of creatinine, urea-nitrogen, AST, ALT, ALP, MDA, tissue damages, and decreased FRAP. Application of p-coumaric acid led to complete or relative improvements in functional parameters of kidney and liver, and reduced tissue damages and MDA level. The FRAP level was found to increase by the p-coumaric acid. Conclusion: P-coumaric acid demonstrated a protective effect against the side effects of cisplatin in the kidneys and liver.

The protective effect of Nigella sativa against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats

Objective: The clinical use of cisplatin is highly restricted, because of its nephrotoxicity.In this study the protective effect of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was investigated in rats. Materials and Methods: In the current study, the effects of the administration of aqueous-ethanolic extract of N. sativa (100 and 200 mg/kg, BW) and vitamin E (100 mg/kg, ...

Protective effect of CV247 against cisplatin nephrotoxicity in rats.

CV247 (CV), an aqueous mixture of copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) gluconates, vitamin C and sodium salicylate increased the antitumour effects of cisplatin (CDPP; cis-diamminedichloroplatinum) in vitro. We hypothesized that the antioxidant and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2; prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2) inhibitory components of CV can protect the kidneys from CDPP nephrotoxicity in rats. CDPP...

Protective effect of lactoferrin on Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Although cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents, its clinical use is limited because of its strong side effects on the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the renoprotective effect of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) in cisplatin-induced renal failure in rats. To assess the renoprotective effect of bLf, oral bLf (300 mg/kg) was adm...

Effect of Simvastatin on Cisplatin-induced Nephrotoxicity in Male Rats

      Statins have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that are not directly related to their cholesterol-lowering activity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simvastatin on the extent of tissue damage in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Simvastatin was orally given to rats in different doses (1, 2 and 4 mg/kg), 1 h prior to cisplatin injection (5 mg/kg, i.p.). All animals we...
