Amelioration of cyclophosphamide-induced DNA damage, oxidative stress, and hepato- and neurotoxicity by Piper longum extract in rats: The role of γH2AX and 8-OHdG.

A study evaluated a plant, Piper longum, for its ability to protect DNA from the harmful effects of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide. The plant was tested in laboratory experiments using plasmid DNA and human blood cells. It was also tested in rats to confirm its effectiveness in preventing genomic instability, oxidative stress, and organ damage. The plant was found to protect DNA, reduce chromosome damage, prevent DNA damage, and reduce organ damage without causing toxicity. This promising finding could lead to future therapies to reduce side effects of chemotherapy.
