Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a commonly used antineoplastic agent despite its adverse effects. Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is one of the most common side effects of CP. Although Mesna is commonly used to prevent HC, it suffers from few side effects. Therefore, search for better alternate substance still continues. In this study, we studied the effects of ursolic acid (UA), one of the active ingredients of Plantago major, commonly called plantain or white man’s foot, in CP-induced hemorrhagic cystitis in rats. Forty-nine Sprague−Dawley rats in seven equal groups viz. control (C); cyclophosphamide (CP); cyclophosphamide+Mesna (CPMesna); cyclophosphamide+ursolic acid [100 (CPUA100) and 200 mg (CPUA200)], and cyclophosphamide+ mesna+ ursolic acid (100, (CPMesnaUA100) and (200 mg (CPMesnaUA200) were investigated for inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOs), total antioxidant status (TAS), total antioxidant status (TOS), TNF–α, interleukin 10 (IL–10) and interleukin 6 (IL–6) levels from blood samples. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS and both Kruskall Wallis and Dunn tests were performed. Value of P |
