  Aims and objectives: The current study characterized the morphology of Ambrex formulation by Scanning Electron Microscopy and assessed its cardioprotective activity against Isoproterenol (ISPH)-induced myocardial necrosis in rats by biochemical and histopathological evaluations, and also attempted to predict the prospective protein-targets of Ambrex and the signaling pathway that mediates this activity through molecular docking approach. Materials and methods: Sprague–Dawley male rats (4 groups, 6 rats per group) chosen for the current study were acclimatized to the laboratory conditions for 7 days prior to actual treatment; they were pretreated with Ambrex (40 mg/kg b.wt/day, p.o) everday for 21 days and then intoxicated with ISPH (85 mg/kg b.wt, s.c) on day-20 and 21 to experimentally induce myocardial necrosis. The extent of ISPH-in.. View More»
