ABSTRACT
The complex stroke pathophysiology, like oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions, causes substantially challenged in stroke treatment. Thymoquinone (TQ) is attributed to pharmacological actions like antioxidant and anti-inflammation. Thymoquinone is chemically hydrophobic, which causes poor solubility and bioavailability. To overcome this challenge Thymoquinone niosome was applied in this in-vivo study. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in rats treated with Thymoquinone niosome compared to free Thymoquinone and control groups (SOD), (TAC), and (GPX) activities were increased in the TQN group compared to the MCAO control group. The decrease in (MDA) level was seen in the Thymoquinone niosome group compared to the MCAO control group. The inflammation factors expression rates of IL-IB, IL-6, TNFα in I/R Thymoquinone niosome group were decreased. This study indicated that Thymoquinone niosome might be utilized as a promising novel carrier to improve Thymoquinone bioavailability and therapeutic effect in treating cerebral I/R injury.
