Abstract
Oxidative stress and inflammation are considered as therapeutic targets in myocardial injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of syringic acid (SA) and syringaldehyde (SYD) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of myocardial infarction (MI) patients. PBMCs from MI patients were cultured in the presence and absence of SA and SYD. The level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nitric oxide (NO) was estimated. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, oxidation of lipids, proteins, and activity of antioxidant enzymes were also quantified. To further determine biomolecular changes in treated PBMCs, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis was done. Molecular docking study was also conducted to evaluate the binding interaction of SA and SYD with various target proteins. SA and SYD treated PBMCs of MI patients showed decreased secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, and NO. Moreover, the content of ROS, level of lipid, and protein oxidation showed diminution by treatment with both the compounds. Enhanced antioxidant defense was also observed in treated PBMCs. The FTIR spectra of treated cells revealed safeguarding effect of SA and SYD on biomolecular structure. The molecular docking analysis displayed significant binding affinity of the two compounds towards TNF-α, IL-6, and antioxidant enzymes. Our findings demonstrated potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of SA and SYD on PBMCs of MI patients. Thus, SA and SYD supplementation might be beneficial in attenuating oxidative stress and inflammation in MI.
