lüll The protective effect of thymoquinone, an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, against renal injury: a review Ragheb A; Attia A; Eldin WS; Elbarbry F; Gazarin S; Shoker ASaudi J Kidney Dis Transpl 2009[Sep]; 20 (5): 741-52Thymoquinone (TQ), 2-Isopropyl-5-methyl-1, 4-benzoquinone, is one of the most active ingredients of Nigella Sativa seeds. TQ has a variety of beneficial properties including anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Studies have provided original observations on the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in the development of renal diseases such as glomerulonephritis and drug-induced nephrotoxicity. The renoprotective effects of TQ have been demonstrated in animal models. Also, TQ has been used successfully in treating allergic diseases in humans. The aim of this review is to highlight the importance of reactive oxygen species in renal pathophysiology and the intriguing possibility for a role of TQ in the prevention of and/or protection from renal injury in humans.|Animals[MESH]|Anti-Inflammatory Agents/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Antioxidants/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Benzoquinones/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Cytoprotection[MESH]|Disease Models, Animal[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Diseases/etiology/metabolism/*prevention & control[MESH]|Kidney/*drug effects/metabolism[MESH]|Oxidative Stress/*drug effects[MESH]|Reactive Oxygen Species/*metabolism[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
