Abstract:
:Diplacone (1) and mimulone (2), two geranylated flavanones, have previously shown anti-inflammatory and antiradical activity in vitro. The present study aimed to evaluate their activity in vivo on a model of colitis induced in Wistar rats by an oral administration of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Diplacone (1) and mimulone (2) were administered at a bolus dose of 25mg/kg by gastric gavage 48 and 24h prior to the induction of colitis by DSS and every 24h on the following days of the experiment. The effect of the treatment was assessed by monitoring the disease activity index (DAI), histopathological examination, evaluation of the weight and length of the colon and by analysis of the levels and activities of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2), and catalase (CAT) in the inflamed tissue. Administration of the test compounds prior and after induction of colitis ameliorated the symptoms of colitis (diarrhea, presence of the blood in the stool) and delayed their onset. The ability of compounds 1 and 2 to reduce the levels of COX-2 and to increase the ratio of pro-MMP2/MMP2 activity correlates with the values of the DAI. The lowering of the levels of the antioxidant enzymes SOD2 and CAT reflects the ability of the test compounds to scavenge reactive oxygen species.
