Atherosclerosis (AS) is a cardiovascular disease that arise due to dysfunction of lipid deposition and metabolism. AS is causes the mortality and morbidity worldwide. Sinomenine isolated from the Sinomenium acutum is used extensively against the various cardiac diseases in China. However, the anti-atherosclerosis effect of sinomenine still not explore. In this study, we explore the cardioprotective and anti-atherosclerosis effect of sinomenine against Vitamin D3 and High fat induced atherosclerosis in rats. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used in this study. The rats were received the vitamin D (60000) and High fat diet to induce the atherosclerosis and divided into groups and received the oral administration of sinomenine (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) and simvastatin (5 mg/kg). Body weight, organ weight and biochemical parameters were estimated. The mRNA expression of MyD88, TLR4, NF-κB and IκB were estimated. Sinomenine treated rats significantly (p&lt;0.001) suppressed the body weight and modulated the organ weight (hepatic, renal and heart). Sinomenine significantly (p&lt;0.001) decreased the level of triacylglycerols (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), total cholesterol (TC), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c) and augmented the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). Sinomenine treatment also reduced the level of atherogenic index (TC/HDL-c and LDL-c/HDL-c). Sinomenine treatment decrease the ratio of HMG CoA/Mevalonate and level of collagen and total protein. Sinomenine significantly (p&lt;0.001) altered the level of heart parameters, antioxidant parameters and inflammatory cytokines. Sinomenine significantly (p&lt;0.001) reduced the expression of MyD88, TLR4, NF-κB and IκB. Taken together, sinomenine exhibited the protective effect against the atherosclerosis via alteration of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
