Amelioration of cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in Swiss albino mice by Rubia cordifolia extract.
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapeutics against a wide range of cancers including head, neck, ovarian and lung cancers. But its usefulness is limited by its toxicity to normal tissues, including cells of the kidney proximal tubule. The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether the hydro-alcoholic extract of Rubia cordifolia could decrease the intensity o...

متن کاملEffect of Simvastatin on Cisplatin-induced Nephrotoxicity in Male Rats
Statins have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that are not directly related to their cholesterol-lowering activity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simvastatin on the extent of tissue damage in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Simvastatin was orally given to rats in different doses (1, 2 and 4 mg/kg), 1 h prior to cisplatin injection (5 mg/kg, i.p.). All animals we...
متن کاملCombination therapy with cisplatin and anti-4-1BB: synergistic anticancer effects and amelioration of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
Anti-4-1BB and cisplatin showed synergistic anticancer effects in the CT-26 colon carcinoma model, producing complete regression in >60% of mice with either preventive or therapeutic treatment. The tumor-free mice formed long-lasting CD8(+) T cell-dependent tumor-specific memory. Anti-4-1BB induced rapid repopulation of T and B cells from cisplatin-mediated lymphopenia and differentiation and e...
متن کاملAmelioration of docetaxel/cisplatin induced polyneuropathy by α-lipoic acid
Docetaxel (Taxotere; Aventis, Strasbourg, France) is currently considered to be one of the most important anticancer drugs. It is a semi-synthetic agent derived from baccatin III extracted from renewable Taxus baccata needles, which binds to tubulin inducing its polymerization [1]. It inhibits cell replication and leads to apoptosis. Docetaxel has displayed significant antitumor activity agains...
