Resumen

Las proteínas extraídas del látex de Plumeria pudica (LPPp) tienen actividad antiinflamatoria en diferentes modelos experimentales. Ante este relevante resultado, evaluamos los aspectos toxicológicos del tratamiento de ratones con LPPp. La toxicidad aguda y subcrónica se determinó mediante la administración intraperitoneal diaria de 40 mg/kg de LPPp durante 10 o 20 días, respectivamente, y fueron seguidas por evaluación conductual, hematológica, bioquímica e histopatológica. Los resultados no mostraron cambios significativos en el peso corporal y los órganos de los animales tratados con LPPp. El recuento de leucocitos total y diferencial en la sangre de los grupos LPPp no difirió de los controles. No hubo diferencias significativas en las mediciones de aspartato aminotransferasa, alanina aminotransferasa, creatinina y urea para el grupo tratado durante 20 días. El nivel de glutatión en los riñones fue significativamente mayor en los animales tratados con LPPp en la prueba de toxicidad aguda, pero no se observaron diferencias para la evaluación subcrónica. La concentración de malondialdehído y la actividad de la mieloperoxidasa en los órganos no difirieron de los controles. El examen histopatológico del tejido renal, el bazo y el hígado de los animales tratados con LPPp reveló estructuras normales o cambios reversibles. La LD50 de LPPp administrada por vía intraperitoneal fue superior a 2000 mg / kg. Los datos obtenidos revelan que LPPp no es tóxico a dosis de 40 mg/kg.
