Abstract
OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to investigate the protective activity of brown seaweed, the ethanolic and water extracts of Sargassum binderi (S. binderi) were examined. Anticancer drug, cisplatin is normally used for the treatment of solid tumors that cause acute kidney damage after assemblage in the renal tubules.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
It was an acute nephrotoxicity study, animals were divided into several groups randomly, cisplatin (7mg/kg i.p.) and normal saline were used as positive and negative control respectively. The S. bindari ethanolic and water extract were given orally in a dose of 200mg/kg for 5days. Various biomarkers were assessed to observe the nephroprotective potential, while antioxidant activities were investigated using reduced glutathione, catalase and malondialdehyde as oxidative stress. GCMS was performed to validate the presence of important therapeutic moieties.
RESULTS
The current result justified that pretreatment with S. binderi inhibited the elevation of antioxidant parameters and also showed protection against lipid peroxidation, induced by cisplatin challenge. The overall impact was the nephroprotection, which has been revealed from the results. GCMS evaluation of hexanes fraction revealed the presence of therapeutically important compounds including heptasiloxane, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, hexadecamethyl, cyclooctasiloxane, and hexadecamethyl. These compounds have been reported for their antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, and antifungal activities.
CONCLUSION
S. binderi showed reno-protective effect by checking their well-known biochemical parameters probably due to the antioxidant activity as confirmed by the presence of compounds.
