Analysis of the action of Himatanthus drasticus in progression of urethane-induced lung cancer in mice

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the effect of janaguba in inhibiting the development of lung cancer in an experimental urethane-induced model. Methods: a total of 3 mg/kg urethane was injected in 51 Balb-C mice aged 7-13 weeks of life. Janaguba was administered orally daily in two doses: 0.04 mL (Group 2, G2) and 0.06 mL (Group 3, G3), for 20 weeks. After this period, the mice were sacrificed and the number of lesions counted. Results: The mean weight of Group 2 was lower than that of Group 3, and that of Group 1 (Cont… Show more

“…Inflammation is a physiological body response against any harmful stimulus, leading to the activation of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, eosinophils, mononuclear phagocytes, and macrophages. Furthermore, these inflammatory cells, especially macrophages, secrete increased amounts of NO, iNOS, PGE2, COX-2, and cytokines, such as TNF-alpha (13,14).…”

“…é consideravelmente bem explorada, e Himatanthus drasticus como uma das espécies pertencente à família, possui estudos que mostram uma variedade de atividades farmacológicas relevantes. Esta é caracterizada por ser uma espécie arbórea que pode crescer até 7 metros de altura, apresentando folhagem densa nas extremidades (França et al, 2011). Geograficamente, sua disposição é extensiva, pois está presente em boa parte do território brasileiro.…”

“…Geograficamente, sua disposição é extensiva, pois está presente em boa parte do território brasileiro. Pode ser encontrada em até doze estados: Alagoas (AL), Bahia (BA), Ceará (CE), Maranhão (MA), Minas Gerais (MG), Pará (PA), Paraíba (PB), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Roraima (RR) e Sergipe (SE), recebendo distintos sinônimos de acordo com a cultura local (Flora e Funga do Brasil, 2022; França et al, 2011;Amaro et al, 2006). No Ceará, a predominância de H. drasticus, popularmente chamada de "janaguba", é notável na região da Chapada do Araripe, localizada no extremo Sul do estado (Almeida et al, 2019).…”
