摘要: Aqueous-ethanolic extract of Cassia alata (AECal) and its derived fractions obtained through liquid-liquid fractionation were evaluated for their bronchorelaxant, genotoxic, antigenotoxic effects. Contractile activity rats’ tracheas in the presence tested materials, as well modifications with different inhibitors blockers, was isometrically recorded. The potential AECal on cyclophosphamide- (CP-) induced genotoxicity rat. Animals pretreated extract, then liver comet assay performed. chloroformic (CF-AECal) relaxed contraction by Ach, but both significantly less potent inhibiting KCl (30 mM; 80 mM). Propranolol, indomethacin, L-NAME, methylene blue, glibenclamide did not modify relaxant effect CF-AECal. TEA altered response trachea to CF-AECal caused a rightward shift without affecting cumulative concentration-response curves Ach only at low concentrations. In animals percentage CP-induced DNA damage decreased. Our results suggest that (1) muscarinic receptors contribute least part effects CF-AECal; (2) interferes membrane polarization; (3) is genotoxic vivo contains chemopreventive phytoconstituents offering protection against genotoxicity.
