Isorhamnetin (ISO) is an O-methylated flavonol from the class of flavonoids. It has a protective effect on various organs, but its effect on ALI is still unclear in current studies.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of ISO against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Ninety-six male Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups and given the appropriate drug administration for 14 days. The ALI mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 700 mg/kg D-GalN and 10 µg/kg LPS. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the histopathological changes.

The mean lethal dose (LD<sub>50</sub>) of AECP was therefore greater than 2000 mg/kg. In subacute toxicity, a significant increase in body weight, water and food consumption, liver weight and lymphocyte counts as well as a decrease in ALT activity and creatinine levels were recorded in rats of both sexes treated at 222 and/or 444 mg/kg. AECP caused a notable reduction in uric acid, total cholesterol and triglycerides at all doses tested. Histopathological analysis of rat kidneys shows slight mesengial hyperplasia at 444 mg/kg. However, all other parameters evaluated did not experience significant variation after AECP administration at all doses.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In acute toxicity, the LD<sub>50</sub> is greater than 2000 mg/kg, so AECP is of low toxicity. In subacute toxicity, only the dose of 444 mg/kg of AECP resulted in decreased body weight, water and food consumption, and increased liver weight, ALT activity, and lymphocyte counts. Doses below 444 mg/kg may therefore be safe.</p>","PeriodicalId":9128,"journal":{"name":"BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies","volume":"25 1","pages":"288"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12302864/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144727942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
