    Drug-induced organ toxicity is a significant health concern, with gentamicin known for its effective antibacterial properties but also severe side effects, particularly cytotoxicity in liver and kidney tissues. This current study observed the preventive role of baicalein and bergenin against hepatic and renal injuries caused by gentamicin in rats. Methods: Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, namely, control, gentamicin (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day), baicalein (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day + baicalein 100 mg/kg/day) and bergenin (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day + bergenin 100 mg/kg/day). Hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity were induced by giving gentamicin (80 mg/kg/day). We evaluated the biochemical markers, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea, alanine transaminase (ALT), creatinine and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels, antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress parameters and histopathological and immunohistochemical changes. Results: Gentamicin increased oxidative stress parameters and decreased antioxidant activity. The treatment with baicalein and bergenin significantly restored these markers. Conclusions: Baicalein and bergenin significantly mitigated gentamicin-induced hepatic and renal toxicity by restoring biochemical markers, reducing oxidative stress and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the protective effects of both compounds against organ damage. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two drugs for these parameters. These results suggest their potential as therapeutic agents to prevent gentamicin-induced organ toxicity.

    Syringic acid (SA), a natural phenolic substance, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We investigated the likely preventive effects of SA on organ damage to the reproductive system caused by bilateral ovarian ischemia -reperfusion (I/R). Materials and Methods: 32 female Sprague-Dawley rats in total were used; they were split into four groups: a sham group for co ntrol (group I), I/R group (group II), I/R group given 10 mg/kg SA (group III), and an I/R group given 50 mg/kg SA (group IV). Grou p I underwent only an abdominal incision without I/R. In groups II, III, and IV, I/R procedures were conducted for 3 hours. S A was given intraperitoneally to groups III and IV for 30 minutes before reperfusion at 10 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively. The ovarian tissues were surgically removed for analysis. Results: TNF-?, MDA, IL-1?, MPO, TOS and OSI levels in group II were found to be significantly higher than in group I. Additionally, a decrease was detected in TAS and SOD values in group II. In contrast, SA administration led to significant increases in the level of antioxidant enzymes in both groups III and IV. Also, in the SA-given groups, significant decreases were detected in OSI and TOS levels, along with a decrease in MPO, MDA, TNF-?, and IL-1? levels. Conclusion: It has been demonstrated that SA has a protective effect against organ damage caused by bilateral ovarian I/R in the reproductive system. This is the first study to show that SA can reduce ovarian damage due to I/R injury.
