摘要

The study investigates the therapeutic potential of Acacia catechu, a medicinal plant, in the context of inflammatory bowel disease, specifically Crohn’s disease. Utilizing a rat model, the research evaluates the protective effects of both standard extracts and nano formulations of Acacia catechu against colonic damage induced by dextran sulfate sodium. The methodology includes extracting active compounds from the bark of Acacia catechu, followed by pharmacological assessments of antioxidant enzyme activities and histopathological evaluations. Results indicate that the standard extract and nano formulation significantly improve colon health, as evidenced by enhanced colon weight-to-length ratios, better stool consistency, and reduced tissue damage compared to control groups. The antioxidant properties of Acacia catechu, attributed to its bioactive compounds, play a crucial role in mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation. The study highlights the potential of nano formulations of Acacia catechu to enhance the bioavailability of these compounds, suggesting a promising avenue for developing effective treatments for Inflammatory bowel disease. Overall, the findings support the integration of Acacia catechu into therapeutic strategies for managing chronic inflammatory conditions, warranting further research to validate these effects in human populations.
