Background/Objectives: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by cutaneous and visceral fibrosis, vascular alterations, persistent inflammatory response. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms underlying SSc, current therapeutic options remain limited. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) polyphenol widely distributed plants has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic properties. However, its potential SSc not been investigated yet. Methods: A model of was established administering bleomycin (BLM) at 100 U/kg to CD1 mice via an osmotic minipump. After fourteen days BLM administration, CGA (60 mg/kg) intragastric administered on consecutive until day 20. On 21, all were sacrificed. The effect histologically evaluated hematoxylin eosin Masson’s trichrome staining. Results: treatment significantly attenuated dermal fibrosis BLM-induced reducing histopathological damage, including increased thickness, inflammation, collagen deposition, SSc-associated pulmonary fibrosis. Conclusions: evidence shows that attenuates strongly suggests may be promising compound for SSc.
