摘要

Snow Mountain Garlic (SMG) (Allium ampeloprasum L.) is a wild trans-Himalayan member of the genus Allium, valued for its anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties in the mountain folk medicinal system (Sowa-Rigpa). Despite its age-old medicinal usage by traditional therapists and the native population for various ailments including rheumatism, there is no scientific validation of its phyto-pharmaceutical merits.The present pre-clinical study compared the in-vivo anti-arthritic effects of SMG with reported efficacy doses of normal garlic (Allium sativum L.) extract and dexamethasone in a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis rat model.The female Wistar rats were immunized by the subplannter injection of CFA into the right hind footpad. Aqueous extracts of SMG and normal garlic were administered orally at a dose of 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg for 28 days. Dexamethasone was used as positive control drug. Behavioral parameters including paw markers, arthritis index, joint stiffness, body weight change, etc. were measured. Also, the changes in histopathological indices, hematological profile, inflammatory mediators, and serum cytokines level was determined.Treatment of rats with SMG extracts significantly (p < 0.001) prevented the reduction in body weight and hematological changes as well as ameliorated clinical symptoms such as arthritic index, joint stiffness, arthritis score, edema, hyperalgesia, and histopathological indices. This was associated with a significant reduction in the serum levels of RF, CRP, anti-CCP, and proinflammatory cytokines exhibiting strong anti-arthritic potential. SMG extracts could also significantly down regulate the NF-κB, COX-2, and iNOS expression in the ankle joint tissues.The present study is the first attempt to validate the phyto-pharmaceutical efficacy of this folk garlic variety from the trans-Himalayan region. Overall, SMG extract showed remarkable preventive anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities which were closely comparable to therapeutic effects of dexamethasone and at par or even better than normal garlic w.r.t. several study parameters.
