Nephroprotective effect of sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) leaves ethanol extract on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. J Adv Pharm Technol Res 2024; 15:208-213.

Abstract
Kidney damage is commonly attributed to using certain drugs, such as gentamicin, which causes elevated kidney parameters in blood and damage to renal tissue. This damage is often a result of oxidative stress, but it can be mitigated by using antioxidants. Several studies proved the potential of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) leaves as an antioxidant. Therefore, this experiment aimed to examine the nephroprotective action of sugarcane leaves. Twenty-five Wistar rats were separated into the normal, negative, and sugarcane leaf extract (SLE) (200, 400, and 600 mg/kg BW) groups. The animals were handled for 8 days, and then, the blood and tissue were collected 24 h later. The results revealed that SLE prevents increased creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, and malondialdehyde levels. The histology analysis indicated that the extract improved kidney morphology and histopathology. Sugarcane leaves have the potential to be a nephroprotective agent.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) is one of the major global public health concerns but the emerging resistance of IAV to currently available antivirals requires the need to identify potential alternatives. Polyphenol rich sugarcane extract (PRSE) is an extract prepared from the sugarcane plant Saccharum Officinarum. Herein we aimed to determine if PRSE had antiviral activity against IAV. We showed that treatment of IAV-infected cells with PRSE results in a dose-dependent inhibition of virus infection at concentrations that were non-cytotoxic. PRSE treatment limited the early stages of infection, reducing viral genome replication, mRNA transcription and viral protein expression. PRSE did not affect the ability of IAV to bind sialic acid or change the morphology of viral particles. Additionally, PRSE treatment attenuated the replication of multiple IAV strains of the H3N2 and H1N1 subtype. In conclusion, we show that PRSE displays antiviral activity against a broad range of IAV strains, in vitro.
