Abstract:
This study investigates the nephroprotective potential of the brown seaweed Sargassum binderi through in-vivo experiments, focusing on its ability to counteract kidney damage caused by cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent. The research evaluates ethanolic, water, and n-hexane extracts of Sargassum binderi for their antioxidative properties and impact on key biochemical markers like creatinine, urea, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced glutathione (GSH). GC-MS analysis of the n-hexane extract revealed bioactive compounds responsible for its therapeutic effects. The study provides valuable insights into the potential applications of Sargassum binderi in developing natural remedies for oxidative stress and nephrotoxicity.
