Ligustrazine has a renoprotective effect against nephritis. In this study, we further characterized the renoprotective properties of ligustrazine in an experimental model using accelerated anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody (AGBM-Ab).Ligustrazine was given i.p. once daily at 50, 100 mg/kg for 15 days after singly giving i.v. of rabbit anti-rat glomerular basement membrane serum, and showed dose-dependent inhibition the elevation of urinary protein, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen as well as the development of glomerular histological changes. Ligustrazine (50 mg/kg) had no affect on glutathione (GSH) content, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities, but decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in nephritis induced by AGBM-Ab. Ligustrazine (100 mg/kg) significantly decreased MDA content while significantly increased GSH content and SOD, glutathione peroxidase, catalase activities of kidney tissues in the rats treated with AGBM-Ab alone.In conclusion, our results show that ligustrazine has protective activity against accelerated AGBM-Ab nephritis, and its renoprotective effect may be due to its antioxidant properties and inhibition reactive oxygen species (ROS).
