| English abstract | Nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity are frequently seen adverse effects during cisplatin chemotherapy. In this study, we investigated the effects of agomelatine on cisplatin-induced toxicity in the kidney and liver. Animals were administered with a single dose of cisplatin (7 mg/kg, i.p.) and treated with agomelatine (20 and 40 mg/kg, p.o) for seven days. Renal and hepatic functions were evaluated by measuring concentrations of creatinine, BUN, AST and ALT in the serum. Oxidative stress and protein peroxidation were assessed by measuring SOD, CAT, GSH and AOPP levels in both tissues. Serum PON-1 levels were also evaluated. Histopathological analysis was performed to determined structural changes in the kidney and liver. Agomelatine (20 mg/kg) treatment approximately halved cisplatin-related increase in serum creatinine, BUN, AST and ALT levels. Agomelatine (20 mg/kg) significantly prevented the cisplatin-induced excessive decrease in SOD, CAT, GSH in both tissues and serum PON-1 levels. Agomelatine (20 and 40 mg/kg) protected the structural integrity of the kidney against cisplatin-insult. Although agomelatine (40 mg/kg) protected the kidney and showed parallel results with 20 mg/kg biochemically, it failed to show the same liver tissue effects in both analyses. Although agomelatine protected against cisplatin-induced toxicity in the kidney and liver, care should be taken with higher doses for possible hepatotoxicity |
