Abstract

Objectives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Solanum nigrum on nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by cisplatin. Methods. Male mice were divided into 4 groups: control (Group A), cisplatin (Group B), Solanum nigrum (Group C), and cisplatin plus Solanum nigrum (Group D). Creatinine and urea were evaluated for nephrotoxicity. Catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), nitric oxide (NO), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured colorimetrically and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was determined by real-time PCR for evaluation of oxidative stress. Results. CAT significantly decreased while creatinine, urea, GST, NO, MDA, and HO-1 significantly increased only in cisplatin-treated group. Discussion. Solanum nigrum ameliorates nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by cisplatin.
