    Introduction: Canova is a complex homeopathic medicine that enhances a specific immunologic responses against several exogenous and endogenous conditions. Canova activates macrophages both in vivo and in vitro.Aim and method: We evaluated the effects of macrophages activated by Canova in vivo and ex vitro in the proliferation of lymphocytes. Canova was used to activate Cebus apella macrophages in vivo or ex vitro with Canova. Lymphocytes were cultured with the macrophage culture medium. the analysis of Canova effects in cultured lymphocytes was performed according to the cell cycle phase using flow cytometry. the Interferon gamma and Interleukin-5 cytokines quantification in these lymphocyte culture media was performed by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: We observed that Canova actives macrophages in vivo and ex vitro. the lymphocytes cultured in a supplemented medium with macrophages activated by Canova treatment presented a higher number of proliferation cells than lymphocytes not exposed to macrophages activated by Canova. the Interferon gamma and Interleukin-5 cytokines were only observed in the medium of lymphocytes exposed to macrophages activated by Canova. Thus, Canova has potential as a new adjuvant therapy. Homeopathy (201 2) 101, 74-79.

    Lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by activated human macrophages treated with Canova

    Introduction: Canova (CA) is a homeopathic medication with immunomodulatory properties, recommended for patients with a depressed immune system. CA has been reported to increase in leukocyte numbers, cellular differentiation and reduction in tumor size.Aim and method. Since CA may stimulate lymphocyte differentiation, proliferation, and/or survival, the aim of the present study was to compare the mitotic index (MI) of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes cultured in a medium supplemented with human macrophages activated by CA, with lymphocytes cultured in a medium without CA-treated macrophages.Results: in this study, the MI of lymphocyte cultured received the medium containing CA-stimulated macrophages showed a higher proliferation index (p < 0.01) than the lymphocytes cultured in a medium without CA-treated macrophages. Our results suggest that CA treatment, in addition to activating macrophages, indirectly induces lymphocyte proliferation and has potential as a new adjuvant therapeutic approach.

    The protective effect of Canova homeopathic medicine in cyclophosphamide-treated non-human primates
    (Elsevier B.V., 2012-12-01) Leal, Mariana Ferreira [UNIFESP]; Antunes, Lusania Maria Greggi; Lamarao, Maria Fernanda Vita; Silva, Carla Elvira Araujo da; Silva, Ismael Dale Cotrim Guerreiro da [UNIFESP]; Assumpcao, Paulo Pimentel; Andrade, Edilson Ferreira; Rezende, Alexandre Pingarilho; Imbeloni, Aline Amaral; Muniz, Jose Augusto Pereira Carneiro; Pinto, Giovanny Reboucas; Smith, Marilia de Arruda Cardoso [UNIFESP]; Burbano, Rommel Rodríguez [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Fed Univ Para; Minist Saude; Univ Fed Piaui
    Background: Canova activates macrophages and indirectly induces lymphocyte proliferation. Here we evaluated the effects of Canova in cyclophosphamide-treated non-human primates.Methods: Twelve Cebus apella were evaluated. Four animals were treated with Canova only. Eight animals were treated with two doses of cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg) and four of these animals received Canova. Body weight, biochemistry and hematologic analyses were performed for 40 days. Micronucleus and comet assays were performed for the evaluation of DNA damage.Results: We observed that cyclophosphamide induced abnormal WBC count in all animals. However, the group treated with cyclophosphamide plus Canova presented a higher leukocyte count than that which received only cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide induced micronucleus and DNA damage in all animals. the frequency of these alterations was significantly lower in the Canova group than in the group without this medicine.Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that Canova treatment minimizes cyclophosphamide myelotoxicity in C. apella.
