Abstract
BackgroundHerbal therapy for healing disease has many advantages than drugs. This study investigates the protective efficacy of Artemisia annua (Art) and Echinacea pupurea (Ech) extracts against 7, 12-dimethylbenz (α) anthracene (DMBA) toxicity.ResultsDMBA-treated rats showed a significant increase in the level of serum ALT, AST, LDH and CKMB, also reduction in body weight gain (BWG) ℅, HB, WBCs, RBCs and platelet counts, in addition to histopathological and ultrastructural alterations. Rats treated with Art or Ech after DMBA showed little improvements in the biochemical, hematological, histopathological, ultrastructural and molecular docking results than before DMBA.ConclusionsThis study suggested the ameliorative effect of Ech and Art due to their antioxidant properties, but Ech and Art were more effective if they are given before than after DMBA administration and the marked effect against DMBA toxicity with Ech before DMBA exposure. Also, the molecular docking, molecular properties descriptors, and pharmacoinformatic studies of constituents of extract from Artemisia annua L. and Echinacea purpurea L. exhibited that all studied compounds have better ADMET and physicochemical properties, especially compounds extract from Echinacea purpurea L.Graphical
