Published: September 1990

Compound 1 [3,3-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)-1-phenylindolin-2-one] is an experimental cognition-enhancing drug now being developed for cognitive disorders. Oral bioavailability of 1 in rats was less than 10% of the dose. Nasal dosing improved bioavailability to greater than 50%. Brain levels of total radioactivity were measured after iv and nasal doses of radiolabeled 1. The ratio of AUCbrain:AUCplasma was the same by both routes, so nasal dosing did not enhance brain delivery. This is in contrast to other reports of large molecular weight substances and metals gaining direct access to the brain through the nasal epithelium.

Nephrotoxic effect of cypermethrin ameliorated by nanocurcumin through antioxidative mechanism.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of Pharmacy, Jazan University, 45142, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.

Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid showing nephrotoxicity by generating ROS-impaired oxidative stress and changes in inflammatory and apoptotic markers. The harmful consequences are intended to be mitigated by the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant possessions of nanocurcumin (NC) with improved bioavailability ameliorate Cyp toxicity in rat kidneys.

Evaluation of the Effect of Virgin Rice Bran Oil (VRBO) on DoxorubicinInduced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar Rats.

Curr Cardiol Rev

Department of Nutrition, Société Francophone de Nutrithérapie et de Nutrigénétique Appliquée, Villeurbanne, France.

Objective: The usage of doxorubicin (DOX), an antineoplastic drug that is frequently used for the cure of cancer, is restricted to maximal doses due to its cardiac toxicity. Reactive oxygen species produced by DOX result in lipid peroxidation and organ failure, ultimately resulting in cardiomyopathy. Due to its high polyphenol content, virgin rice bran oil (VRBO) is a diet nutritional supplement with a strong antioxidant.
