Efficacy of Flunixin on Prostaglandin E2 Synthesis in Bovine Inflammatory Exudate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flunixin meglumine and meloxicam are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Flunixin meglumine is classified as a carboxylic acid. Its mechanism of action is believed to be primarily via the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. This inhibition results in decreased formation of cyclooxygenase-derived eicosanoids involved in the pathophysiology of inflammation, such as thromboxanes and prostaglandins.

Ischemia reperfusion injury in the isolated hemoperfused bovine uterus--a model for the investigation of anti-inflammatory substances?
The inflammation model of the isolated hemoperfused bovine uterus was used to introduce a new in vitro model for the investigation of anti-inflammatory substances. As previous studies demonstrated both an increase in PGE2 synthesis and an up-regulation of COX-2 and iNOS mRNA by ischemia-reperfusion injury in the model (Braun and Kietzmann, 2004), inhibitory effects of the glucocorticoid dexamet...
متن کاملProstaglandin production by a mild inflammatory lesion in sheep.
By implanting a Teflon chamber subcutaneously into a sheep a mild aseptic inflammatory lesion was produced from which wound fluid could be sampled daily. The prostaglandin content of this wound fluid was examined. Prostaglandin E2 activity was found in all samples, and a peak was apparent on the fourth or fifth day after producing the lesion. The amount of prostaglandin activity appeared to be ...

Currently, there are no FDAapproved drugs for the treatment of py...
متن کاملReduction of urate crystal-induced inflammation by root extracts from traditional oriental medicinal plants: elevation of prostaglandin D2 levels
Dried roots of the plants Acanthopanax senticosus, Angelica sinensis and Scutellaria baicalensis are used in traditional oriental medicine and reportedly possess anti-inflammatory properties. Using the murine air pouch model of inflammation, we investigated the efficacy and mode of action of an extract from these three plants in crystal-induced inflammation. Air pouches were raised on the backs...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 inhibits IL-10 production by bovine CD4+ T cells.
Although prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a pro-inflammatory mediator, it also produces some effect which is anti-inflammatory in character. It is suggested that one of the mechanisms responsible for the latter effect is the increased synthesis of IL-10. The aim of this study has been to determine the influence of PGE2 on IL-10 production by bovine CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and NK cells. With this aim, p...
