Synthesis and Anti Cataract Activity of Allylmercaptocaptopril against Oxidative Stress Induced Experimental Cataractogenesis: an in Vitro and in Vivo Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the second experiment as reported in the previous chapter, an anti cataract activity of Captopril against oxidant stress induced cataract was investigated attributed to its antioxidant properties. The antioxidant property of Captopril is greatly influenced by the presence of thiol group in its structure which helps to interact with lens specific enzymes and proteins as well. After absorption, Captopril carried as a disulfide compound in the body which has free radical scavenging potential.

Potential of Allylmercaptocaptopril as an Anti Cataract Agent against Galactosemic Cataract in Rats
Aim: Allylmercaptocaptopril (AMC) is a covalently bonded product of allicin and captopril has been evaluated for its anticataract activity against selenite induced cataract in experimental animals. We wanted to evaluate its anticataract potential in galactosemic cataract to elucidate biochemical mechanism to appraise its activity. Method: We examined the protective effect of AMC in both in vitr...

Background: Aluminum (Al) exposure is among the environmental risk factors that may involve in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress has a critical role in the Al-induced toxicity. Saffron is a plant with potent radical scavenging and anti-oxidative properties. This investigation was designed to evaluate the possible protective effects of saffron extract (SE) on alumi...

Echium amoenum is an Iranian indigenous medicinal plant. In this research the effect of hydroalchoholic extract of this plant on sodium-selenite induced cataract formation was evaluated. Fifty five white rat pups were selected and divided into six groups. In first group (control 1) no elements injected. Second group (control 2) was received normal saline on 11-18 postpartum. Hydroalchoholic ext...
