Eggplant may be used as a therapeutic and positive anti-inflammatory functional food without alternating the immune activity in the acute phase of infection, some scientists opinionated.
Eggplant with deep purple color is a species of S. Melongena, belongs to the family Solanaceae cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory, and is native to India.
Inflammation is a natural expression by the immune system in the induction of white blood cells to protect our body against infection caused by foreign invasion.
In the differentiation of water extract of Solanum melongena L. (Solanaceae) effect in the induction of antioxidant, analgesic, hypolipidemic, and antiallergic activity in mice induced by injection of trypsin or trans-cinnamoyl-LIGRLO-NH(2) (tc-NH(2)) into the hind paw scientists found that oral administration of the extract at doses of 5, 10, and 100 mg/kg displayed a strong effect in inhibition of both paw edema and vascular permeability.
Further analysis also showed that the highest dose injection of 10 mg/kg expressed the greatest activity compared to the others in significantly inhibited PAR2 agonist-induced myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in stimulated immune function activated pro-inflammatory cytokines and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression to precipitate inflammation in response to the acute phase of infection.
After taking into account other confounders, Dr. Umamageswari MS suggested that water extract of the S. Melongena (SMWE) inhibits PAR2 agonist-induced mouse paw edema, through its anti-inflammatory expression.
According to the investigated the inflammatory activities of aqueous extract of leaves of Solanum melongena Linn in carrageenan-induced paw edema, in comparison to standard medicine aspirin, oral application of Solanum melongena L. in different doses of 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg at 1(st) h, 3(rd) h, and 5(th) after injection revealed a significant effect in reduced inflammation linearly induced by carrageenan toxicity in a dose-dependent manner.
Additional differentiation, also suggested that the doses of 200mg/kg and 400 mg/kg of aqueous extract of S. Melongena L showed a percentage of inhibition of 42.62% which is less than the standard drug aspirin which showed 64.5% inhibition.
In the free radical perspective, the investigation of 4 our new lignanamides, melongenamides A-D (1-4), together with six known ones (5-10) isolated from the roots of Solanum melongena L. also demonstrated significant activity in inhibitions of inflammatory From effect From caused by free radical species nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages through their antioxidant effect.
Interestingly, the study also found that not all compounds extracted from the roots expressed the same levels of antioxidant properties in reduced inflammation induced by ROS. In comparison to other compounds, compound 1 exerted an antioxidant effect without inhibiting free radical nitric oxide production.
The findings suggested that eggplant may be used as a functional food in reducing the risk of inflammation in acute infection and as an adjunct therapy in combination with the standard treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.
