ABSTRACT
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory situation involving the whole digestive system. This illness includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. According to scientific research, the immune system plays an essential part in developing this disease. Recently, buspirone has been discovered to have anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, this research aims to see if buspirone provides anti-inflammatory effects in a rat model of TNBS-induced colitis. Control, TNBS, dexamethasone (2 mg/kg), and buspirone (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) were randomly given to six groups of 36 male Wistar rats. Colitis was induced by intrarectal instillation of TNBS in all research groups except the control group, and rats were meliorated with dexamethasone and buspirone. Macroscopic and microscopic lesions appeared after colitis induction, while therapy with dexamethasone and buspirone significantly improved the lesions. TLR4 and pNF-κB expression were also enhanced during colitis induction. On the other hand, the administration of dexamethasone or buspirone resulted in a considerable reduction in their expression. Tissue TNF-α and MPO activity were enhanced after induction of colitis in terms of biochemical variables; however, administration of dexamethasone or buspirone reduced TNF-α and MPO activity. Eventually, in an animal model of severe colitis, buspirone displayed anti-inflammatory characteristics via lowering the TLR4/NF-ĸB signaling pathway's activity in an animal model of acute colitis.
