RESUMO

AIMS: The present study was designed to investigate whether the antinociceptive effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) during oxaliplatin (OXL)-induced sensory neuropathy is related to antioxidant properties. MAIN METHODS: Male mice C57BL/6 were submitted to repeated intravenous administration of OXL (1 mg/kg, 9 administrations). After the establishment of sensory neuropathy, mice were treated with a single intravenous administration of MSC (1 × 106), vehicle or gabapentin. Paw mechanical and thermal nociceptive thresholds were evaluated through von Frey filaments and cold plate test, respectively. Motor performance was evaluated in the rota-rod test. Gene expression profile, cytokine levels, and oxidative stress markers in the spinal cord were evaluated by real-time PCR, ELISA and biochemical assays, respectively. KEY FINDINGS: OXL-treated mice presented behavioral signs of sensory neuropathy, such as mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, which were completely reverted by a single administration of MSC. Repeated oral treatment with gabapentin (70 mg/kg) induced only transient antinociception. The IL-1ß and TNF-α spinal levels did not differ between mice with or without sensory neuropathy. MSC increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-10 and TGF-ß, in the spinal cord of neuropathic mice, in addition to increasing the gene expression of antioxidant factors SOD and Nrf-2. Additionally, nitrite and MDA spinal levels were reduced by the MSC treatment. SIGNIFICANCE: MSC induce reversion of sensory neuropathy induced by OXL possibly by activation of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways, leading to reestablishment of redox homeostasis in the spinal cord.

RESUMO

Limonoids, quinolone alkaloids and chromones have been reported as constituents of Dictyoloma vandellianum Adr. Juss. (Rutaceae). Although those compounds are known for their biological activities, only the anti-inflammatory activity of chromones isolated from the underground parts has been evaluated. There are no studies of the pharmacological properties of the aerial parts of D. vandellianum. The present study was carried out to determine the phytochemical profile and antinociceptive activity of the methanol extract, fractions and isolated compounds of leaves of D. vandellianum. The phytochemical profile was performed by HLPC-DAD-ESIMSn and pure substances obtained were characterized by MS and NMR spectroscopy. The antinociceptive activity was assessed using the formalin assay in mice, and the motor function in the rotarod test. ME and all the fractions obtained from ME produced antinociceptive effects. Among them, the ethyl ether fraction was the most active. Data from HPLC-DAD-ESIMSn showed that the ethyl ether fraction presented 42 compounds. The major compounds isolated from this fraction-gallic acid, methyl gallate and 1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-ß-d-glucopyranose-were tested and produced antinociceptive effects. Gallic acid, methyl gallate and 1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-ß-d-glucopyranose at antinociceptive doses did not affect the motor performance in mice in the rotarod test. This work is the first report of the occurrence of gallotanins in D. vandellianum. In addition, the pharmacological study showed that D. vandellianum leaves present antinociceptive activity, probably induced by gallic acid, methyl gallate and 1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-ß-d-glucopyranose.

RESUMO

Rose-oxide is a fragrance found in roses and rose oil. There are no reports about the pharmacological activity of this molecule. The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether rose-oxide (RO) has anti-inflammatory properties and to investigate possible mechanisms involved with its effects. The anti-inflammatory activity of RO was first suggested by the formalin test in mice, an inflammatory pain model, because intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of RO (50 and 100mg/kg) inhibited only the late phase of this test. To further investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of RO, the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)- and carrageenan-induced paw inflammation models were used. Pre-treatment with RO (50 and 100mg/kg) significantly reduced paw edema at 4, 6 and 24h after the CFA injection. In addition, RO (100mg/kg) reduced the IL-1ß, but not TNF-α, local production induced by CFA. Administration of RO (25-100mg/kg) decreased the paw edema induced by carrageenan in rats, which was more evident at 3 and 4h after induction. In addition, neutrophil migration to the hind paw was measured by MPO assay after the carrageenan injection. The MPO activity was significantly inhibited by RO at 25-100mg/kg, 4h after stimulus. In another experimental set, administration of RO (25-100mg/kg) significantly reduced the leukocyte migration in the carrageenan-induced peritonitis model in mice. The results described here are the first report of pharmacological properties of RO and strongly suggest that RO possesses anti-inflammatory activity related to its ability to inhibit the IL-1ß production and the leukocyte migration.
