Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Buddleja scordioides Kunth leaves infusion on lipid peroxidation in mice with ultraviolet (UV) light-induced oxidative stress. CD-1 mice were allocated into treatment and control groups (n = 8). Mice in the intervention group were treated with B. scordioides leaves infusion (500 µL equivalent to 0.6534 mg of lyophilized leave infusion/kg of body weight) while the controls received distilled water by gavage administration during 9 days. Both groups were UV irradiated (2.59320175 mW/cm2) 4 consecutive days: 3 h per day with rest periods of 4 min every hour. B. scordioides leaves infusion had high concentrations of hydroxybenzoic acids, flavonols, hydroxycinnamic acids, and flavone compounds. Mice previously treated with B. scordioides leaves infusion exhibited a significant reduction on malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in the liver (77%) but not in kidney and plasma in comparison with the control group. B. scordioides leaves infusion shows hepatoprotective activity via free radical scavenging in mice with UV light-induced oxidative stress.
