Evaluation of the antiulcerogenic activity of violacein and its modulation by the inclusion complexation with beta-cyclodextrin.

abstract：:Mechanisms leading to ifosfamide (IF)-induced renal damage have not been fully elucidated. Recent work suggests that localized renal tubular metabolism of IF and the production of the nephrotoxic chloroacetaldehyde may lead to nephrotoxicity. Presently no pharmacological method to reduce IF nephrotoxicity has been ide...
