INTRODUCTION: Doxorubicin (Dox), an antineoplastic agent is used as a primary anticancerous drug against various types of cancers. However, its associated toxicity to the cardiovascular system is major. Literature has recorded the cases of mortality due to poor validation and lack of prediagnosis of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. Therapeutic interventions using natural products having cardioprotective properties with low toxic outcomes hold therapeutic potential for future cardio-oncological therapies. Syzygium cumini (Black berry), a traditional Indian herbal plant, has been researched and found to exert cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, which have been credited due to the presence of polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins.

METHODS: In the current research, we investigated the cardioprotective potential of Syzygium cumini against Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Methanolic seed extract preparation of Syzygium cumini was performed using the Soxhlet apparatus. Cell viability and cell death assays were performed to determine the cardiotoxic doses of Doxorubicin. Furthermore, the cardioprotective potential of Syzygium cumini extract against DIC was studied. Morphological and nuclear alterations in H9C2 cells were studied by microscopic assays using Giemsa, Haematoxylin-Eosin stain, and PI. The intracellular stress level and ROS production were studied using DCFH-DA followed by mitochondrial integrity analysis using fluorescent microscopic methods.

RESULTS: In the results, we investigated that Dox exerted a dose and time-dependent cardiotoxicity on H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Moreover, we observed that morphological and nuclear alterations caused by doxorubicin in dose-dependent manner were prevented by supplementing with Syzygium cumini polyphenols and it attenuated the oxidative stress in H9C2 cardiomyocytes effectively.

CONCLUSION: Conclusively, Syzygium cumini possesses cardioprotective potential in H9C2 cardiomyocytes in dox-induced cardiotoxicity.
