Punicalagin (PNG) possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. Objective: The aim of the present research was to investigate the possible defensive effect of PNG against nephrotoxicity caused by GEN in male Sprague-Dawley rats. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; GEN (80 mg/kg/day, i.p.) was administered for 8 days. Treatment with PNG (25 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 10 days, began 2 days before GEN insult. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;PNG significantly decreased serum creatinine, and malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF- κB p65), and cleaved caspase-3 activity in the kidneys of GEN-challenged rats. PNG also significantly increased renal catalase, reduced glutathione, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in rats received GEN. Additionally, PNG markedly attenuated the histopathological kidney tissue injury caused by GEN. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;PNG guarded against GEN-induced kidney damage in rats through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects, and by modulating the balance between Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways.&lt;/p&gt;

Blood urea, serum creatinine, uric acid and blood urea nitrogen analyses and microscopic examination of kidney were performed. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Gentamicin treatment caused nephrotoxicity as evidenced by marked elevation in serum urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (107.5&amp;plusmn;16.92mg/dl, 0.8&amp;plusmn;0.09 mg/dl, 3.05&amp;plusmn;0.29 mg/dl, 47.8&amp;plusmn;9.07 mg/dl) respectively when compared to the saline treated groups. Co-administration of &lt;em&gt;Pimpinella anisum&lt;/em&gt; extract with gentamicin decreased the rise in these parameters in a dose dependent manner. Histopathological analysis revealed epithelial loss with intense granular degeneration in gentamicin treated rats, whereas aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Pimpinella anisum&lt;/em&gt; mitigated the severity of gentamicin-induced renal damage. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; To conclude, our data suggest that aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Pimpinella anisum&lt;/em&gt; exhibits renoprotective effect in gentamicin induced renal damage and further studies on its mechanism of action are warranted.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">403</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nair Aiswarya&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Rao Rashmi R&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Shenoy Preethi J&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Vinod Chandran&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, S Teerthanath&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Pai Sunil B&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, KB Rakesh&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The effect of interactions between the four most active extracts and conventional antibiotics was also evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Methods and Material:&lt;/strong&gt; Bioautography and disc diffusion methods were used to select the most active extracts, then agar macrodilution and broth microdilution method were used to determine the minimal inhibitory and minimal bactericidal concentration (MIC and MBC). Time-kill assay and checkerboard method were employed to determine the type of antimicrobial effect and synergism, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; It could be determined that tinctures from &lt;em&gt;Catalpa bignonioides&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Handroanthus pulcherrimus&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Tabebuia nodosa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Tecoma stans&lt;/em&gt; were able to inhibit bacterial growth. The MIC and MBC observed were between 125-1000 &amp;mu;g GAE/ ml and 500-1000 &amp;mu;g GAE/ml, respectively. The tested extracts were more effective against Gram-positive microorganisms. Time-kill experiments indicated bacteriostatic activity. Phytochemical screening showed terpenoids, phenols and flavonoids. Alkaloids were detected only in Tecoma stans. Among these combinations, the best was &lt;em&gt;Tabebuia nodosa &lt;/em&gt;extract plus gentamicin. In most cases, MIC values were reduced 16-32 times for antibiotics, and even 8-16 times for extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These results revealed that some of the selected combinations could efficiently inhibit the growth of tested strains at lower concentrations than those required for the lonely use of the antimicrobial. These extracts would improve the efficacy of antibiotics against resistant bacteria, hence they could be used for anti-infective therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">400</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Torres Carola Anal&amp;iacute;a&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Nu&amp;ntilde;ez Mar&amp;iacute;a Beatriz&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Isla Mar&amp;iacute;a In&amp;eacute;s&lt;sup&gt;3,4&lt;/sup&gt;, Castro Marcela Paola&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Gonzalez Ana Mar&amp;iacute;a&lt;sup&gt;1,2,5&lt;/sup&gt; and Zampini Iris Catiana&lt;sup&gt;3,4&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
