Curcumin alone and in combination with augmentin protects against pulmonaryinflammation and acute lung injury generated during Klebsiella pneumoniae B5055-induced lung infection in BALB/c mice

Abstract: Acute lung injuries due to acute lung infections remain a major cause of mortality. Thus a combination of an antibiotic and a compound with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities can help to overcome acute lung infection-induced injuries. Curcumin derived from the rhizome of turmeric has been used for decades and it exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, immunomodulatory properties by downregulation of various inflammatory mediators. Keeping these properties in mind, we investigated the anti… Show more

“…These parmeters were significantly increased in the lung tissue of Klebsiella pneumoniae induced group as compared with control group. Similar results were reported by other researcher [19]. The increased activity of myloperoxidase enzyme is indicator of neutophil infiltration and its levels correlated with neutrophil numbers on all days of infection.…”

“…De et al have also elucidated antimicrobial activity of curcumin against helicobacter pylori (28). According to Bansal et al, research, curcumin was able to inhibit nosocomial infections caused by Klebsiella pneumonia, an opportunistic pathogen (31). These studies have been shown antimicrobial effect of curcumin while our study has displayed a higher potency of curcuminloaded chitosan-TPP nanoparticles rather than the individual curcumin.…”
