[ 1 ] - Antinociceptive effect of methanolic extract and alkaloid fractions of Berberis integerrima root in animal models
Objective: Berberis vulgaris has antioxidant, hepato--renal protective, antibacterial, lipid lowering, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. The genus Berberis, has another member called Berberisintegerrima which has not been studied for antinociceptive activity and therefore, this study was aimed to examine the antinociceptive effect oftotal extract and alkaloid fractions of Berber...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of the effect of soybean diet on interferon-α-induced depression in male mice
Objective: Interferon-α (IFN) therapy can cause depressive symptom which may lead to drug discontinuation. By interfering with tryptophan pathway, the available level of tryptophan required for serotonin synthesis decreases which could be related to depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether soybean diet could improve IFN-induced depression. Materials and Methods: Male mice weigh...
[ 3 ] - The effect of hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil of Heracleum persicum on lipid profile in cholesterol-fed rabbits
Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil of Heracleum persicum (Apiaceae) on lipid profile of male hyperlipidemic rabbits. Materials and Methods: Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into six groups of five each. One group received normal diet and the other groups fed with a high cholesterol (2% W/W) diet for 7 weeks. Vehicle, hydr...
[ 4 ] - Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of Urtica dioica leaf extract in animal models
Objective: This study was aimed to examine the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of Urtica dioica leaf extract in animal models. Materials and Methods: Hydroalcoholic extract of the plant leaves was prepared by percolation method. Male Swiss mice (25-35 g) and male Wistar rats (180-200 g) were randomly distributed in control, standard drug, and three experimental groups (n=6 in each...
[ 5 ] - Effect of Fluvoxamine on Carrageenan-Induced Paw Edema in Rats Evaluation of the Action Sites
The present study was designed to explore the anti-inflammatory effect of fluvoxamine, as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) anti-depressant, on carrageenan-induced paw edema in more details. At first, fluvoxamine was administered intra-peritoneally (2.5, 12.5, 25 and 50 mg Kg-1) 30 min before the subplantar injection of carrageenan. Fluvoxamine was also injected intra-peritoneally...

[ 7 ] - Anti-Inflammatory Activity of a Selection of Antidepressant Drugs
Anti-inflammatory activity has been reported for a few of antidepressant drugs and in contrary sertraline has potentiated inflammation. In this study, anti-inflammatory effect of a collection of antidepressant drugs belonging to different classes was evaluated to help a rational selection of these drugs in disease conditions such as association of depression or anxiety with inflammatory d...
[ 8 ] - بررسی اثر دکسترومتورفان و پنتازوسین بر افسردگی ناشی از پروژسترون در موش ماده
زمینه و هدف: پروژسترون یکی از هورمون‌های تولیدمثلی جنس ماده می‌باشد. افزایش سطوح پروژسترون طی سیکل قاعدگی یا مصرف پروژسترون صناعی در قرص‌های ضدبارداری خوراکی در برخی زنان منجر به افسردگی می‌شود. گیرنده‌های سیگما به‌عنوان اهداف جدیدی در دارودرمانی افسردگی مورد توجه قرار گرفته‌اند. پروژسترون غیر از اثرات هورمونی یک نورو استروئید است و آنتاگونیست گیرنده‌های سیگما می‌باشد؛ لذا در این تحقیق هدف بررس...
[ 9 ] - Beneficial effects of pumpkin seed oil as a topical hair growth promoting agent in a mice model
Objective: Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seed oil mainly consists of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Previously, it was reported that oral administration of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) improved hair growth in male pattern alopecia. This study aimed to evalua...
[ 10 ] - Protective effect of dizocilpine (MK-801) on TNBS-induced experimental colitis in mice
Ulcerative colitis is chronic and recurrent disease of the gastrointestinal tract with uncertain etiology and incomplete treatment options. N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor suppression has shown anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo. The aim of present study was to evaluate the role of dizocilpine (MK-801), a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, on TNBS (trinitrobenzene sulfoni...

[ 12 ] - Interaction Study of 1, 3 Substituted Isatin Derivatives with Anti Inflammatory Properties with Cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 Enzymes by Molecular Docking Method
Introduction: Inflammation as the body's defense response is accompanied with various diseases. Prostaglandins are major mediators of inflammation produced by the cyclooxygenase enzymes. So inhibitors of these enzymes can be effective in treating inflammation. There are reports of inhibition of these enzymes by isatin derivatives to control inflammation. Isatin is a heterocyclic compound whose...
