PG - 101880 LID - 10.1016/j.jsps.2023.101880 [doi] LID - 101880 AB - Atherosclerosis is a complex condition that develops at varying rates in multiple configurations and blood vessels. The primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in the industrialized nations, continues to be atherosclerosis. Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani systems of medicine, among other traditional medical systems, utilize polyherbal compositions. The treatment of atherosclerosis has been improved with a novel multibotanical combination. In this study, we sought to formulate, characterize, and standardize a polyherbal formulation based on design of experiments (DoE), densitometric studies and to predict for antioxidant activity using molecular docking analysis based on LC- MS identified phytomarkers. In addition we have assessed its cell viability by MTT assay along with Ao/EtBr staining technique and intracellular ROS assay using THP-1 cell lines. Reported findings showed that the HPTLC based quantified components of selected multiherbals has the ability to treat for atherosclerosis. This document could be used to quickly authenticate the formulation as the method optimized was based on CCD design which shows desirability of 0.962 and 0.839. Cell based assays scientifically proves that the formulation was not toxic based on MTT assay along with AO/EtBr staining technique and has excellent antioxidant activities based on intracellular ROS assay using THP-1 cell lines. The observed findings would be crucial for future clinical aspects since the bioactive molecules contained in the extracts may have anticipated effects with other compounds and show a superior therapeutic potential. As a result, this study offers standardized and potentially therapeutic information about effective polyherbal formulation for atherosclerosis. CI - (c) 2023 The Author(s).
