Abstract

This research aims to investigate the in vitro and in vivo nephroprotective activity of Michelia champaca leaves extracts in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity rats. The flavonoid and phenols-rich fractions of Michelia champaca leaves extract were subjected to in silico methods based on in vitro investigations, using renal target proteins. The results of the in vitro antioxidant study of extracts were tested for cytoprotective MTT assay and anti-inflammatory efficacy by protein denaturation assay using human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). The in vivo nephroprotective potential of the extract was evaluated at a lower dose of 250 mg/kg and a higher dose of 500 mg/kg body weight in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats with histopathological investigations. The Michelia champaca hydroalcoholic extract (MCHAE) shows remarkable binding affinity with bonding interactions of flavonoids and phenolics-based ligands observed with the target proteins that provided early information. The in vitro cell lines study revealed no cytotoxicity and better anti-inflammatory effect on HEK293 cells with cytoprotective and nephroprotective efficacy of MCHAE. The in vivo nephroprotective activity improved at a dose of 500mg/kg of MCHAE than Michelia champaca ethanolic extract (MCEE). Histopathological investigations revealed the improvement in gentamicin-induced renal toxicity by the MCHAE orally treated group compared to other groups. These results of MCHAE are more effective than MCEE and have a marked in vitro antioxidant, and cytoprotective effect in HEK293 cell lines, with good interaction scores of ligands in molecular docking studies with nephroprotective potential benefits in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
