Abstract
Objectives: Salvia verbenaca is a medicinal plant that has been traditionally used in Algeria for the treatment of wounds and emptied abscesses. The present study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of methanolic extract of S. verbenaca roots and explore its ability to bestow protection against oxidative damage induced by H2 O2(200 µM). Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic effects and protective properties of S. verbenaca on human monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1) was studied using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide assay. The protective effects of the extract against H2 O2 -induced oxidative damage was evaluated using single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay and 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescien diacetate (H2DCFDA) assay. Results: S. verbenaca extract was found to be non-cytotoxic at concentrations
Özet
Amaç: Salvia verbenaca, Cezayir’de geleneksel olarak yaraların ve boşalan apselerin tedavisinde kullanılan tıbbi bir bitkidir. Bu çalışma, S. verbenaca köklerinin metanol ekstresinin sitotoksisitesini değerlendirmeyi ve H2 O2(200 µM) ile indüklenen oksidatif hasara karşı koruyucu etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: S. verbenaca’nın insan monositik lösemi hücrelerindeki (THP-1) sitotoksik etkileri ve koruyucu özellikleri tiyazolil mavi tetrazolyum bromür testi ile belirlendi. Ekstrenin H2 O2kaynaklı oksidatif hasara karşı koruyucu etkileri, tek hücre jel elektroforezi (comet) testi ve 2,7-diklorodihidroflorescien diasetat (H2DCFDA testi) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: S. verbenaca ekstresinin
