Objective: To observe the protective effect of breviscapineon mice with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Methods: Mice were given a single injection of cisplatin (8 mg/kg, i.p.); then, breviscapine was given to mice at 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg doses. respectively, once a day for seven days. Renal tissue structure was observed after animals were sacrificed. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), lipid peroxide (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) serum levels were detected; and MDA, glutathionc peroxidase, and SOD levels in the renal cortex were detected. Results: Compared with the blank control group (BCG), the kidney pathological damage of mice in the model control group (MCG) was more severe. After applying different doses of breviscapine, different degrees of renal injury improvement appeared. Compared with the BCG. the serum levels of Scr and BUN in the MCG increased to (89.92 +/- 6.78) mu moL/L and (15.32 +/- 4.53) mmoL/L. The differences were statistical significant (P<0.01). Compared with the MCG. the serum levels of Scr and BUN in the Bre low-dose groups and Bre high-dose groups decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the BCG, the MDA levels in scrum and in the renal cortex in the MCG significantly increased, while the SOD levels significantly decreased. Both the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). In the Bre low-dose groups and Bre high-dose groups. MDA levels in serum and in the renal cortex significantly decreased, while SOD and glutathione peroxidase levels in the renal cortex significantly increased, compared with the MCG: and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: Breviscapine can reduce cisplatin induced renal toxicity in mice and it's possible through inhibition of renal tubule cell lipid peroxidation and reduces the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin.
