Datura stramonium Leaf Extract Exhibits Anti-inflammatory Activity in CCL4-Induced Hepatic Injury Model by Modulating Oxidative Stress Markers and iNOS/Nrf2 Expression

Abstract: Background. Inflammation is a frequent phenomenon in the pathogenesis of hepatic disorders leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Phytopharmaceuticals developed from traditional medicine can provide effective therapeutic alternatives to conventional medications. Datura stramonium (DS) has reported traditional uses in inflammatory diseases. In this study, we have tried to validate its potential as a source of anti-inflammatory agents. Methods. Powdered leaf part of DS was extracted using ethyl acetate (EA) to provi… Show more

“…However, leaf and seed extracts showed an SI of 1.47 and 0.62, respectively, indicating that both extracts showed a NO inhibitory effect at toxic concentrations. Previous studies have shown that D. stramonium ethyl acetate leaf extract exhibited a NO scavenging effect with an IC 50 value of 7.625 ± 0.551 µg/mL [ 38 ]. The toxicity effect of the extract has also been assessed, showing no significant cytotoxicity against isolated normal human lymphocytes and against macrophage isolated from rat peritoneum, even at the highest concentration (20 µg/mL) [ 38 ].…”

“…"Plants have always been a source of drugs for the treatment of human ailments, and millions of people in the world rely on medicinal plants for primary health care" [1][2][3]. In this study, the antibacterial activities of the extracts of D. stramonium pulp, seed and leaf using 50% and 75% ethanol as extraction solvents were conducted against some clinically isolated human pathogenic microorganisms.…”

“…Plant extracts contain extensive range of chemical compounds that can be used to treat long-lasting diseases as well as transmittable infections [1][2][3]. "These chemical compounds which include tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids and flavonoids exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiinfectious and antitumor activities" [1][2][3][4]. "During the past decades, infectious diseases have been the leading cause of death throughout the globe, particularly in the developing countries" [5].…”
