3-Indolepropionic acid mitigates sub-acute toxicity in the cardiomyocytes of epirubicin-treated female rats.

Epirubicin (EPI) is an effective chemotherapeutic against breast cancer, though EPI-related cardiotoxicity limits its usage. Endogenously derived 3-indolepropionic acid (3-IPA) from tryptophan metabolism is of interest due to its antioxidant capabilities which may have cardioprotective effects. Supplementation with 3-IPA may abate EPI's cardiotoxicity, and herein we studied the possibility of lessening EPI-induced cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats.

Epirubicin Treatment Induces Neurobehavioral, Oxido-Inflammatory and Neurohistology Alterations in Rats: Protective Effect of the Endogenous Metabolite of Tryptophan - 3-Indolepropionic Acid.

Epirubicin's (EPI) efficacy as a chemotherapeutic agent against breast cancer is limited by EPI's neurotoxicity associated with increased oxidative and inflammatory stressors. 3-Indolepropionic acid (3-IPA) derived from in vivo metabolism of tryptophan is reported to possess antioxidative properties devoid of pro-oxidant activity. In this regard, we investigated the effect of 3-IPA on EPI-mediated neurotoxicity in forty female rats (180-200 g; five cohorts (n = 6) treated as follows: Untreated control; EPI alone (2.

Epirubicin toxicity in rat's ovary and uterus: A protective role of 3-Indolepropionic acid supplementation.

The "anthracycline, Epirubicin (EPI)," in managing breast cancer, is highly cytotoxic. Tryptophan-derived 3-indolepropionic acid (3-IPA) decreases oxidative damage, and its prospect of alleviating EPI-induced cytotoxicity was examined in rats' hypothalamus-ovary-uterus axis. Female rats: Control, EPI (2.
