Resumo

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do trans-anetol em combinação com metotrexato, comparado à monoterapia com trans-anetol ou metotrexato, sobre parâmetros inflamatórios e de estresse oxidativo de ratos artríticos. Foi utilizado o modelo experimental de artrite induzida pelo adjuvante completo de Freund (AIA) em ratos. O tratamento com trans-anetol e metotrexato, em combinação ou monoterapia, foi iniciado no dia da indução da AIA e continuou por 21 dias. A associação do anetol (62,5 mg/Kg) à terapia com metotrexato (6 mg/Kg) foi capaz de reduzir o estresse oxidativo induzido pela artrite e os eventos inflamatórios que caracterizam a doença, conforme demonstrado pelos seguintes indicadores: 1) diminuição no edema dos membros posteriores, no escore de lesões secundárias, no recrutamento de leucócitos para a cavidade articular e na atividade da mieloperoxidase plasmática; 2) aumento do conteúdo plasmático de tióis reduzidos e capacidade antioxidante total; 3) diminuição da carbonilação de proteínas no plasma, fígado e rins; 4) diminuição da peroxidação lipídica no fígado; 5) redução do conteúdo hepático de EROs; 6) aumento da atividade das enzimas antioxidantes e da relação GSH/GSSG. Em geral, a combinação anetol + metotrexato apresentou efeito substancialmente maior do que a monoterapia com anetol ou metotrexato (nas mesmas doses). Os dados obtidos neste trabalho permitem concluir que o uso do trans-anetol em combinação com o metotrexato suprimiu a progressão artrítica em ratos, tendo como principal vantagem a redução da dose de metotrexato, atenuando os efeitos adversos causados pela terapia com altas doses.
