ABSTRACT
Objective: The goal of this research was to evaluate the individual cardio-protective properties of
Lignagliptin and Empagliflozin as well as their combination effects on a rat experimental model of
cardiotoxicity.
Materials and Methods: Out of the animals, five groups of six each were formed. For 15 days,
Group I was given the medium (0.5% carboxy methyl cellulose) and functioned as the standard
control group. On days 14 and 15, Isoproterenol (85 mg/kg, s.c.) was given to Group II, which
acted as the disease control group. As a drug-treated group, Group III received Isoproterenol (85mg/kg, s.c.) on the 14th and 15th days as well as Empagliflozin (10 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 15 days.
Linagliptin (5 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 15 days and isoproterenol on the 14th and 15th days were
administered to Group IV as part of their drug treatment regimen. Group V served as the drug-
treated group and got isoproterenol (85 mg/kg, s.c.) on the 14th and 15th days along with a 15-day
combination of Empagliflozin (10 mg/kg) and linagliptin (5 mg/kg) administered orally.
Result: At the end of the treatment period, animals were anaesthetized with an aesthetic ether after
final drugs dose administration and then blood was collected from the retro-orbital plexus for
estimation of different biochemical parameters like blood glucose (BG), creatine kinase MB (CK-
MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Aspartate amino transferase, High sensitivity C reactive
protein (HSCRP), lipid profile, animals were euthanized and hearts were isolated for
Histopathological examination.
Conclusion: The results showed that Empagliflozin and Linagliptin together had better cardio
protective benefits along with positive impacts on cardiotoxicity.
