Abstract

Sepsis, a life‑threatening systemic inflammatory condition, is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Its pathophysiology involves the activation of nuclear factor kappa beta (NF‑κB), which promotes the release of proinflammatory cytokines. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), a widely used nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drug, inhibits NF‑κB but poses risks of peptic ulcer disease and nephrotoxicity. This study evaluates the efficacy of 2‑((3‑(chloromethyl)benzoyl)oxy)benzoic acid (3‑CH2 Cl), a novel salicylate derivative, in reducing NF‑κB expression in the kidneys and lungs of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced septic BALB/C mice. Mice were divided into four groups: untreated, LPS only, LPS + ASA (60 mg/kg BW), and LPS + 3‑CH2 Cl (60 mg/kg BW). NF‑κB expression was assessed via immunohistochemistry. LPS significantly increased NF‑κB expression in both renal and pulmonary tissues compared to controls (P < 0.0001). While ASA treatment reduced NF‑κB levels (P < 0.0001), 3‑CH2 Cl demonstrated superior suppression in the renal cortex, renal medulla, and alveolar regions (P < 0.05). In addition, 3‑CH2 Cl alleviated hypothermia in septic mice, comparable to ASA. Given its enhanced anti‑inflammatory efficacy and reduced gastrointestinal risk, 3‑CH2 Cl presents a promising alternative to ASA for sepsis‑related inflammation management. Further studies are warranted to explore its clinical applications.
