| Objective(s): Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a global health problem with a high economic burden. Intratracheal administration of bleomycin is the best model that resembles the pathogenesis of PF in humans. Recently, vinpocetine proved to have neuroprotective, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, anti-aging, and antifibrotic effects through its anti-oxidant, immunomodulating, and anti-inflammatory activities. The present study investigated the antifibrotic potentiality of vinpocetine in a rat model of PF induced by intratracheal bleomycin administration. Materials and Methods: PF induced by a single intratracheal instillation of 5 mg/kg bleomycin in nine-week-old Wister rats. Oral vinpocetine was used at doses of 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg to treat PF for 21 days immediately after the bleomycin instillation. Results: Vinpocetine dose-dependently ameliorates PF induced by bleomycin administration since vinpocetine effectively restored the normal body weight gain rates, pulmonary architecture, and collagen fiber distribution and suppressed the elevated BALF cell count, lymphocytes and neutrophils percentage, BALF, IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 levels and LDH activity, lung tissue MDA level, PDE activity, hydroxyproline content, immunohistochemical expression of α-SMA and CD68 positive macrophage, and fibrosis score. Meanwhile, it efficiently augmented the reduced BALF macrophage percentage, IL-10 level, lung tissue GSH level, CAT, and SOD activities. Conclusion: Vinpocetine may propose a new promising agent to manage PF. | ||
