Background Cisplatin (CIS) is a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, with cytotoxic effects on either malignant or normal cells. We aimed to evaluate the hepatotoxicity in rats caused by CIS and its amelioration co-administration of curcumin resveratrol. Materials Methods Forty adult male divided into four equal groups: (control group): were given saline solution (0.9%) once intraperitoneally, daily for next 28 days; (cisplatin oral dose days after receiving single cisplatin (3.3 mg/kg) intraperitoneally three successive (CIS plus curcumin/resveratrol groups): received same previous followed administration at (20 (10 consequently days. Different laboratory tests (ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, oxidative stress markers) light microscopic investigations done. Results Administration resulted form increased liver enzymes, markers; degenerative apoptotic changes, resveratrol improved through structural reduction enzymes activity, decreased markers, degenerative, changes tissues. Conclusion Co-administration treatment could ameliorate via anti-inflammatory stress-apoptotic pathways.

ABSTRACT Rhamnetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound found in many wild plant species and indigenous fruits. Despite its numerous biological potentials, such as anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant antimicrobial effects, there lack of literature elucidating gastroprotective action anticipating molecular mechanism. Natural products can be good alternative to overcome the side effects relapses associated with anti‐ulcer drugs. This study aims elucidate rhamnetin's acute toxicity using indomethacin ulceration model. Animals were arbitrarily divided into five groups: negative control group (A) positive (B), both treated 1% carboxymethyl cellulose; reference (C) receiving 20 mg/kg omeprazole; low‐dose (D) high‐dose (E) rhamnetin groups 30 60 mg/kg, respectively. After 1 h, rats Groups B–E subjected indomethacin‐induced ulceration. Toxicity evaluations indicated safety at doses up 400 rats, without any noticeable physiological alterations. (30 mg/kg) administered orally h before gastric ulcer ameliorated stomach lesions lowered index area by 73.81% 77.87%, supplementation histopathological alterations restored barriers, including pH mucin secretion. Moreover, rhamnetin‐treated exhibited increased anti‐apoptotic heat shock protein 70 decreased Bax tissues. These findings line accumulated MDA, superoxide dismutase, catalase prostaglandin E2 levels, reduced serum inflammatory mediators (TNF‐α interleukin‐6) elevated interleukin‐10 cytokines. The outcomes indicate cicatrising against indomethacin‐mediated ulceration, possibly due modulatory actions on oxidative stress, inflammation apoptotic pathways.
