BACKGROUND: The article discusses the results of studies of the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity of the sesquiterpene lactone 1(10)β-epoxy-5,7α,6β(Н)-guai-3(4),11(13)-diene-6,12-olide (hereinafter referred to as epoxyguaianolide).
AIM: The article discusses the results of studies of the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity of the sesquiterpene lactone 1(10)β-epoxy-5,7α,6β(Н)-guai-3(4),11(13)-diene-6,12-olide.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium at a dose of 25 mg/kg (ampoules, 2 mL each, manufactured by Germany) was used as a reference drug in models of acute aseptic inflammation and cotton ball granuloma. On the model of cyclophosphamide immunosuppression, the immunomodulator levamisole at a dose of 3 mg/kg, was used as a reference drug. The immunomodulating effect of the test samples was studied on outbred adult male rats and outbred mice. We calculated the arithmetic mean, the mean square error of the arithmetic mean, the significance of the difference between the mean Рt according to the student’s t-test (TTEST), and the significance of the difference in Pf variances according to the Fisher f-test.
RESULTS: The results of the experiments indicate the presence of a pronounced immunomodulatory activity in epoxyguaianolide. When interacting with cells of the immune system, epoxyguaianolide activated the studied parameters in animals with immunosuppression, whereas in intact animals, it did not affect the above parameters. On the model of cyclophosphamide immunosuppression, it was found that epoxyguaianolide has a pronounced immunomodulatory effect, manifested in an increase in the number of T-lymphocytes and a subpopulation of theophylline-resistant T-lymphocytes, an increase in the number of theophylline-sensitive T- and B-lymphocytes, activation of phagocytosis processes, and increased cell migration. This action of epoxyguaianolide eliminates the minimal possibility of hyperactivation of the immune system, which is an important condition for its use as an immunotropic agent.
CONCLUSIONS: The conducted experiments made it possible to recommend epoxyguaianolide for clinical trials as an immunomodulating agent in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases accompanied by secondary immunodeficiencies.
