Objective: To evaluate the potency of carboxymethyl chitosan-2, 2' ethylenedioxy bis-ethylamine-Folate (CMC-EDBE-FA) on tissue injury, antioxidant status and glutathione system in tissue mitochondria and serum against nicotine-induced oxidative stress in mice. Methods: CMC-EDBE-FA was prepared on basis of carboxymethyl chitosan tagged with folic acid by covalently linkage through 2, 2' ethylenedioxy bis-ethylamine,. Animals were divided into four groups- control, nicotine (1 mg/kg body weight/day), CMC-EDBE-FA (1 mg/kg body weight/day) and nicotine (1 mg/kg body weight/day) and CMC-EDBE-FA (1 mg/kg body weight/day) for 7 days. Levels of lipid peroxidation, oxidized glutathione level, antioxidant enzyme status and DNA damage were observed and compared. Results: The significantly increase of lipid peroxidation, oxidized glutathione levels and DNA damage were observed in nicotine treated group as compared to control group; those were significantly reduced in CMC-EDBE-FA supplemented group. Moreover, significantly, reduced antioxidant status in nicotine treated group was effectively ameliorated by the supplementation of CMC-EDBE-FA. Only CMC-EDBE-FA treated groups shows no significant change as compared to control group; rather than it repairs the tissue damage of nicotine treated group. Conclusions: These findings suggest that CMC-EDBE-FA is non-toxic and ameliorates nicotine-induced toxicity.
