Description:
Background: As the use of Gentamicin became more widespread, the drug’s harmful effects,
particularly nephrotoxicity, became increasingly well-known. Antibacterial and antiinflammatory properties have long been associated with Mirazid. The goal of this research
was to find out more about frameworks for the protection of Mirazid against nephrotoxicity
triggered by Gentamicin.
Methods: Three groups of albino male rats were created; the normal group received only saline.
In the second group, nephrotoxicity was produced for 10 days with Gentamicin (100 mg/kg;
i.p.). In the third group; Mirazid (10 mg/kg; p.o.) was administered for 10 days before receiving
Gentamicin. This was done to investigate the kidney/body weight index, serum creatinine,
urea, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Glutathione (GSH) levels.
Moreover, immunohistochemical staining was done to study Jun N- terminal kinase 1 (JNK1),
inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and caspase3 expressions along with histopathological
changes. Additionally, a molecular docking study was performed for the seventeen isolated and
identified compounds from myrrh, JNK1 is inhibited by an oleo-gum resin derived from the
Commiphora species of plants (Burseraceae).
Results: The Gentamicin group showed an increase in kidney/ body weight index,
serum creatinine, urea, LDH, and MDA, while decreasing GSH levels. Furthermore,
immunohistochemical staining revealed increased JNK1, iNOS, and caspase3 expressions along
with histopathological changes. All of these indicators were significantly reduced by mirazid,
which also restored oxidant/antioxidant hemostasis. Furthermore, the histological architecture
of tissues has been significantly conserved. Concerning the docking study, the isolated compound
(12) was found to be superior to the co-crystallized inhibitor (18) with a binding score of -7.19
kcal/mol compared to -6.95, respectively.
Conclusion: Mirazid was found to be a potential method for suppressing the nephrotoxicity
caused by Gentamycin by inhibiting the JNK1/ iNOS pathways, therefore preserving kidney
function. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties of mirazid are
thought to be responsible for its preventive efficacy.
