ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Arthritis is the cause of morbidity associated with Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection. It persists even after the virus has been cleared from the body. MBZM-NIBT was earlier shown to inhibit (CHIKV) infection in vitro and in vivo.OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study is to determine the ability of MBZM-N-IBT to manage arthritis independent of CHIKV infection.METHOD:
The acute toxicity of MBZM-N-IBT was determined to find a permissible oral dose. Effects against inflammation and arthritis were determined in relevant preclinical models. Network pharmacology was used to propose possible modes of action.RESULT:
It showed no acute toxicity orally, with an estimated LD50 of more than 5000 mg/kg in rats. It significantly reduced inflammation. Its effect against Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis was comparable to that of Diclofenac sodium. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that MBZM-N-IBT can potentially interfere with multiple targets and pathways. MMP12 and CTSD were found to be the most probable hub targets of MBZM-N-IBT for its effect against arthritis.CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, MBZM-N-IBT is safe at 50 mg/kg and can manage arthritis independent of CHIKV infection through modulation of multiple pathways and arthritis-associated targets.
