The gastrointestinal mucositis is a side effect caused by anti-cancer chemotherapy. Among the drugs used in antineoplastic therapy 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) deserves special attention since the incidence of intestinal mucositis is 80% on treated patients. Despite many studies on intestinal mucositis induced by chemotherapy has been carried out, there aren't effective methods for treating intestinal mucositis, only palliative measures. Moreover, several studies reported anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity of Bidens Pilosa L (BPL). Objective: To investigate the action of BPL in intestinal mucositis induced by 5-FU in mice. Methods: in this study, male Swiss mice were given doses of BPL (75, 100 and 125 mg / kg) and vehicle formulation administered orally (gavage) for 6 days, while doses of 5-FU (200 mg / kg ) were administered (intraperitoneal) from the 4th to 6th day (except in the groups treated with vehicle and formulation of BPL). On day 7, the mice were euthanized and the portion instestinal of each animal was extracted to perform the histomorformetria; expression analysis of Bax, Bcl2 p53 and Ki67 by immunohistochemistry analysis of the inflammatory process through the activity of the enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), and evaluation lipid peroxidation by determination of levels malondialdehyde (MDA). It is importantly to note that only the dose of BPL 100 mg/kg which showed better results in the analysis weight and histomorphometric , was chosen to make the immunohistochemistry, MDA and MPO assays.Results:The doses of BPL 75, 100 and 125 mg / kg showed reduce damage triggered by 5-FU in the intestinal mucositis. However the dose of 100 mg / kg was presented the best results in terms of reduction in body mass, as well as morphometric and histological changes induced by 5-FU. Furthermore it was found that treatment with only 3 doses of BPL (75, 100 and 125 mg / kg) caused no toxicological change. It was also found that the expression rate between Bax and Bcl2 were lower in the 100 mg / kg of BPL. Moreover, the dose of 100 mg / kg of BPL showed proliferative effect with increased expression of Ki67 and reduction of inflammatory infiltrate and lipid peroxidation intestinal tissue Conclusion: The results demonstrated that BPL reduced overall damage by 5-FU in intestinal mucositis induced in mice.
