OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of extracts from Siegesbeckiae herba (HS) on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chronic myocardial injury in mice. METHODS: 48 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups. Mice in blank control (Con) group received distilled water once every day, ig, and normal saline (2 mL/100 g) once every day, ip, for 8 weeks; mice in DOX mice received distilled water (2 mL/100 g) once every day, ig, and DOX (3 mg/kg) once every week, ip, for 8 weeks; mice in DOX+HS group received HS (340 mg/kg) once every day, ig, and DOX (3 mg/kg) once every week, ip, for 8 weeks. After administration, body mass, heart coefficient, cardiac function changes, serum biochemical index levels [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine phosphokinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and total cholesterol (TC)] of mice were determined. RESULTS: Compared with Con group, body mass of mice in DOX group was decreased (P<0.01); heart coefficient was increased (P<0.05); heart rate slowed down, R-wave was increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); serum biochemical indexed were increased, there was significant difference in AST (P<0.01). Compared with DOX group, heart coefficient of mice in DOX+HS group was decreased (P<0.01); heart rate was increased (P<0.01); serum biochemical indexes were decreased, there was significant differences in CK, LDH, TC (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: HS has certain protective effects on DOX-induced chronic myocardial injury in mice.
