Abstract
Rutin, naturally occurring flavonoid, has reported to cover interesting multiple pharmacological properties. This study evaluated rutin or/and meloxicam effects in paw inflammation induced by formalin in mice. Mice were divided into four groups: I-Formalin group, II-Rutin 60 mg/kg (p.o.), III-Meloxicam 10 mg/kg (p.o.), plus IV-Combined rutin and meloxicam. Therapies were administered once a day for 7 days. The curative effects were assessed on inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Both rutin and/or meloxicam induced marked improvement in paw licking time on the 1st day and by combined treatment only on the 3rd day as well reduction in paw edema% on the 3rd day. Moreover, noticeable progress in liver malondialdehyde content, superoxide dismutase, and sorbitol dehydrogenase activities as well decline in paw interleukin-1β level and extent of apoptosis. The results spot light on the good influence of combined rutin and meloxicam in formalin-induced mice paw inflammation to a better extent than either rutin or meloxicam lonely.
