Thymoquinone Protects Against Doxorubicin Cardiotoxicity
2026-09-15
A 2025 study found that thymoquinone reduced doxorubicin-associated cardiac injury in mice, with protection linked to Nrf2/HO-1 activation, improved antioxidant status, and attenuation of ferroptosis-related damage. Its integrated cardiovascular, biochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural design provides a useful framework for studying cardiotoxicity mitigation while emphasizing that anticancer efficacy must be evaluated separately.
