Background: Doxorubicin, an anthracycline class of anticancer, is an effective chemotherapeutic agent with serious adverse effects, mainly cardiotoxicity. Several possible causes of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity are increased oxidative stress, nucleic acid and protein synthesis inhibition, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and mitochondrial biogenesis disruptions. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups of six. The first group was normal rats; the second group was treated with doxorubicin 4 mg/kg BW intraperitoneally once weekly for four weeks; the third and fourth groups were treated with doxorubicin 4 mg/kg BW intraperitoneally once weekly, and MO leaves extract at 200 mg/kg BW or 400 mg/kg BW orally daily, for four weeks. At the end of the fourth week, blood and cardiac tissues were obtained and analyzed for cardiac biomarkers, mitochondrial DNA copy number, mRNA expressions of peroxisome-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α), the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), caspase 3, the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG), and malondialdehyde. Results: MO leaves extract was shown to decrease biomarkers of cardiac damage (LDH and CK-MB), malondialdehyde levels, and GPx activity. These changes align with the reduction of mRNA expressions of caspase-3, the increase of mRNA expressions of PGC-1α and Nrf2, and the elevation of mitochondrial DNA copy number. MO leaves extracts did not influence the mRNA expressions of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) or the levels of 8-OH-dG. Conclusion:
