In the present study, the protective effect and the potential underlying mechanism of rutaecarpine (Ru) on renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in rats were investigated. A renal ischemia reperfusion mouse model was established. Ru at 30, 60 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally prior to reperfusion led to attenuated renal injury. The results demonstrated that Ru treatment significantly reduced the content of serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and neutrophil gelatinase‑associated lipocalin in rats with renal IRI. In addition, Ru treatment improved the degree of renal proximal tubular necrosis, decreased the content of inflammatory cytokines in reperfused renal tissue and increased serum superoxide dismutase levels to protect the kidney. The associated underlying mechanism may involve the inhibition of p38 kinase phosphorylation and c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase, anti‑lipid peroxidation, elimination of free radicals, and a reduction in the degree of apoptotic damage and oxidative stress injury induced by renal IRI. Therefore, Ru may be a suitable compound for the prevention and treatment of renal IRI.
