Descrições/informações adicionais | The gastroprotective effect of a turmeric acetone extract (TAE) (Curcuma longa L. [Zingiberaceae]) was evaluated and compared against its major curcuminoids; curcumin (CUR), demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC). Additionally, to demonstrate the importance of the metabolites? ratio in the extract on the synergistic effect, different mixtures were evaluated. An ethanol-induced gastric injury model was used to evaluate the gastroprotection activity in Wistar rats. The pharmacologic interaction analysis was performed using the Combination Index (CI)-Isobologram Equation method. The CI calculated at 0.5 of affected fraction (fa) for the TAE indicated a synergistic interaction between its components. However, when the proportion of curcuminoids changed from 3.7:1:10 in TAE to a 1:1:1 ratio, the CI implied an antagonistic effect. The binary combinations of curcuminoids (1:1) also showed an antagonistic interaction. The results of this work suggest that the proportion of curcuminoids in the TAE is crucial for the gastroprotective effect against ethanol-induced damage. |
