Abstract

Cancer significantly impacts human health, affecting one in five people during their lifetime. While chemotherapeutic agents like doxorubicin are crucial in treating various cancers, they are also associated with severe side effects, including nephrotoxicity. This review examines the renoprotective potential of flavonoids against doxorubicin-induced renal damage in animal models. Doxorubicin works by intercalating Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) and making Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which cause apoptosis and the death of cells. A thorough literature analysis was done to collect relevant papers on the impact of flavonoid-rich therapies as renoprotective agents against doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity. Databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, Springer, Wiley Online Library, and ScienceDirect were searched using keywords including "flavonoids, doxorubicin, renoprotective, nephrotoxicity, and animal model," focusing on publications from 2014 to 2024. Flavonoids are diverse polyphenolic compounds in many plants with significant pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. This review highlights the renoprotective potential of flavonoids like quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, morin, luteolin, apigenin, hesperidin, naringenin, diosmin, and anthocyanins. These compounds reduce renal toxicity through mechanisms that decrease ROS, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial permeability, and apoptosis.
