Abstract
The protective effect of Agrimonia pilosa var. (AP) extract on potassium dichromate ($K_2Cr_2O_7$)-induced cytotoxicity in cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts, was examined by performing an XTT assay for the cell viability and antioxidative effects, such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and superoxide anion-radical (SAR) scavenging activity. In this study, $K_2Cr_2O_7$ decreased the cell viability significantly in a dose-dependent manner, and the $XTT_{50}$ value was determined to be $37.5{\mu}M$, which was highly-toxic according to the Borenfreund and Puerner' toxic criteria. The antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), increased remarkably the cell viability damaged by $K_2Cr_2O_7$-induced cytotoxicity in these cultures. With regard to the protective effect of the AP extract on $K_2Cr_2O_7$-induced cytotoxicity, AP extract produced a significant increase in cell viability and antioxidative effects as the inhibitory ability LDH and SAR scavenging ability. These findings suggest that oxidative stress is involved in the cytotoxicity of $K_2Cr_2O_7$, and the AP extract effectively protected the cells from $K_2Cr_2O_7$-induced cytotoxicity by antioxidative effects. These results suggest that natural resources, such as AP extract, may be a putative therapeutic agent for the diminution or treatment of cytotoxicity induced by heavy metallic bases, such as $K_2Cr_2O_7$ correlated with oxidative stress.
