Abstract

Context: Holoptelea integrifolia is most widely used as a traditional ethnomedicine in India by the local tribal, especially for the treatment of hyperglycemia and as an anti-inflammatory drug.

Aims: To evaluate the acute oral toxicity, in vivo anti-inflammatory and in vitro antioxidant therapeutic potential of chloroform and n-butanol fractions of H. integrifolia barks and leaves using appropriate experimental models.

Methods: Acute oral toxicity of chloroform and n-butanol fractions were evaluated by 423-acute toxic class method using OECD guidelines. The anti-inflammatory effect of chloroform and n-butanol fractions of H. integrifolia barks (CHIB) and leaves (CHIL) were evaluated at 400 mg/kg (po) on carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in Wistar rats. The observed anti-inflammatory effect was compared to the reference drug, indomethacin (10 mg/kg). The total reducing power of both fractions was determined in vitro and the results were compared with ascorbic acid.

Results: The TLC analysis of the bark and leaf extracts revealed the presence of beta-sitosterol. The results of the evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of CHIB and CHIL fractions showed a time-dependent reduction of carrageenan-induced paw edema in statistical analysis. In addition, chloroform fraction of H. integrifolia was found to show notable antioxidant activity against hydrogen peroxide radicals scavenging.

Conclusions: Experimentally studied CHIB and CHIL possessed interesting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential without inducing any apparent acute toxic properties. These pharmacological effects may be attributed, at least in part, to the presence of phenolic compounds/steroidal terpenoids. These results provide scientific support for the traditional use of H. integrifolia in the management of various inflammatory diseases.

Keywords: acute toxicity; β-sitosterol; carrageenan; chloroform fraction; free radicals; paw edema.

Resumen

Contexto: Holoptelea integrifolia se usa ampliamente en la etnomedicina tradicional en India por parte de las tribus locales, especialmente para el tratamiento de la hiperglucemia y como un medicamento antiinflamatorio.

Objetivos: Evaluar la toxicidad oral aguda, el potencial terapéutico antiinflamatorio in vivo y antioxidante in vitro de las fracciones de cloroformo y n-butanol de las cortezas y hojas de H. integrifolia utilizando modelos experimentales apropiados.

Métodos: Se evaluó la toxicidad oral aguda de las fracciones de cloroformo y n-butanol mediante el método de clase tóxica aguda utilizando las directrices 423 de la OCDE. El efecto antiinflamatorio de las fracciones de cloroformo y n-butanol de la corteza de H. integrifolia (CHIB) y las hojas (CHIL) se evaluaron a 400 mg/kg (po) sobre el edema de la pata trasera inducido por carragenano en ratas Wistar. El efecto antiinflamatorio observado se comparó con el fármaco de referencia, indometacina (10 mg/kg). El poder reductor total de ambas fracciones se determinó in vitro y los resultados se compararon con ácido ascórbico.

Resultados: El análisis por TLC de los extractos de corteza y hoja reveló la presencia de beta-sitosterol. Los resultados de la evaluación de la actividad antiinflamatoria de las fracciones CHIB y CHIL mostraron una reducción dependiente del tiempo del edema de la pata inducido por carragenano en el análisis estadístico. Además, se encontró que la fracción de cloroformo de H. integrifolia mostró una notable actividad antioxidante contra la eliminación de radicales de peróxido de hidrógeno.

Conclusiones: CHIB y CHIL estudiados experimentalmente poseen un interesante potencial antiinflamatorio y antioxidante sin inducir propiedades tóxicas agudas aparentes. Estos efectos farmacológicos pueden atribuirse, al menos en parte, a la presencia de compuestos fenólicos/terpenoides esteroideos. Estos resultados proporcionan apoyo científico para el uso tradicional de H. integrifolia en el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades inflamatorias.

Palabras Clave: carragenano; edema de la pata; fracción de cloroformo; radicales libres; β-sitosterol; toxicidad aguda.
