In lead-poisoned mice, selenium nanoparticles with coriander extract lowered lead levels in the liver and improved antioxidant protection markers.
Aim of the study: Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that causes liver toxicity even in trace amounts. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of selenium nanoparticles loaded with coriander extract (coriander@Se-NPs) against Pb toxicity in a mouse model, comparing their effectiveness with the benchmark chelator, DMSA.
Results: Notably, coriander@Se-NPs showed strong anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, as shown by a 12.5-fold reduction in IL-6 and suppression of Caspase 3 to below-normal levels (0.399-fold). In addition, coriander@Se-NPs stabilized Beclin 1 levels, suggesting that normal cellular autophagy balance was restored. These findings indicate that coriander@Se-NPs provide better, multi-faceted protection against heavy metal poisoning than traditional synthetic chelators such as DMSA, highlighting their potential as a highly effective nanomedicine for clinical toxicology. Further studies are needed to explore their potential clinical applications and mechanisms.

In lead-poisoned rats, administration of coriander extract was associated with lower lead concentrations compared with the lead-poisoned control group.
Aim of the study: The rate of lead poisoning has decreased in recent years because of increased health controls in industries that use this metal. However, it remains a public health problem worldwide. The use of various plants with chelating properties is currently a topic of research. Traditional medicine holds that Coriandrum sativum has chelating properties, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
Results: The LD50 of the methanol extract of coriander was >1000 mg/dL. The group given the methanol extract showed significant differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared with the negative control group. Lead concentrations in the treatment groups decreased compared with the positive control. Histological evaluation of the tissue showed less damage in the groups given the methanol extract and its fractions than in the positive control group, which showed structural changes. Coriander extracts protect the liver and lower lead concentrations in lead-poisoned rats, compared with the positive control group.

In mice, coriander leaf extract lowered iron, arsenic, and cadmium levels in the kidneys, but did not change the levels of the metals tested in the liver.
Aim of the study: Coriandrum sativum (coriander) is an annual herb in the Apiaceae family and has been used as a traditional remedy. Here, we examined whether heated coriander leaf extract lowers heavy metal concentrations in tissues.
Results: APF fluorescence increased markedly in control kidney slices, while this increase was completely blocked in kidney slices from the coriander intake group. In contrast, APF fluorescence also increased markedly in control liver slices, and coriander intake did not block this increase. This study indicates that consuming coriander leaf extract helps provide strong resistance to oxidative stress in the kidney, probably by lowering heavy metal concentrations. The reduction of arsenic concentrations to the detection limit is likely a major factor in this resistance.
