Moore, a Thai medicinal plant, and its CNS safety profiles. J Tradit Complement Med 2022; 13:81-92. [PMID: 36685077 PMCID: PMC9845649 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcme.2022.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Clerodendrum petasites, an herbal plant in Thailand, has been used for many years in folk medicine. However, scientific evidence regarding CNS safety pharmacology and antinociceptive activity of C. petasites (CP) has not yet been well characterized. Purpose The present study aimed to assess the CNS safety pharmacology and antinociceptive and antiinflammatory effects of CP extract. Methods The effect of CP extract on CNS safety pharmacology was assessed using LABORAS automated home cage monitoring and rotarod test. Its pharmacological activity was evaluated both in-vitro, and in-vivo using hot-plate, acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin, and carrageenan-induced paw edema models. Results and conclusion CP extract significantly improved thermal and chemical nociceptive behaviors and acute inflammatory pain at all doses: 300, 600, and 1200 mg/kg, p.o. The antiinflammatory effect of CP extract in inflammatory pain models was comparable to the effect of positive control: indomethacin 10 mg/kg at all dose levels tested. Further, the CP extract at 600 mg/kg dose significantly inhibited 82.3% of carrageenan-induced total edema. In-vitro, CP extract at 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/mL concentrations significantly reduced the expression of LPS-induced nitric oxide, IL-6, and TNF-α expression in both RAW 264.7 macrophage and BV-2 microglial cell lines. In addition, CP extract did not show any potential effects on the CNS, indicated by no significant effects on motor coordination, spontaneous locomotor activity, general behaviors, and well-being compared to vehicle-treated mice (p > 0.05). Overall, the present study evidences the potential antinociceptive, antiinflammatory efficacies of CP extract with a favorable CNS safety profile.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro polyphenol content, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antibacterial, anthelmintic properties, and in vivo antinociceptive activity of the ethanol extract of Cissus adnata leaves (EECA) in different experimental models. Polyphenol contents were investigated using spectrophotometric techniques. Antioxidant activity was determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) radical-scavenging, ferric reducing power, and total antioxidant capacity assays. Cytotoxicity was determined by brine shrimp lethality bioassay and disc diffusion method was used for the antibacterial activity. Anthelmintic activity was studied using aquarium worm (Tubifex tubifex) whereas antinociceptive activity was evaluated in mice by acetic acid and formalin test. Phytochemical screening of EECA revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, saponins, and tannins. EECA showed strong antioxidant activity with high polyphenol contents. It was observed that EECA possessed significant antibacterial activity with a low toxicity profile. EECA also demonstrated dose-dependent and statistically significant anthelmintic and antinociceptive activities. Our study shows that ethanol extract of C. adnata leaves possess strong antioxidant, antibacterial, anthelmintic and antinociceptive activities with lower toxicity. Further studies are needed to identify bioactive phytomolecules and to understand the mechanism of such actions better.
