Four new 1,2,3-triazole phthalimide derivatives with a potent anti-inflammatory activity have been synthesized in the good yields by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction from N-(azido-alkyl)phthalimides and terminal alkynes. The anti-inflammatory activity was determined by injecting carrageenan through the plantar tissue of the right hind paw of Swiss white mice to produce inflammation. All t...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Curcuma longa (Turmeric) in experimentally induced acute inflammation in albino rats. Methodology: Albino rats (200-250gms) of either sex were randomly selected, divided into 3 groups (n=6): Controlvehicle 1ml; StandardIndomethacin, 100mg/kg; Test group-Fresh Turmeric powder 300mg/kg. All drugs were suspended in gum acacia and were give...

Objective(s): Fluvoxamine is a well-known selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI); Despite its anti-inflammatory effect, little is known about the precise mechanisms involved. In our previous work, we found that IP administration of fluvoxamine produced a noticeable anti-inflammatory effect in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of fluvoxa...

Morphine-, methamphetamine- and cocaine-induced place preferences under inflammation produced by unilateral injections of 2.5% formalin (50 microliters) and 1% carrageenan (100 microliters) into the hind paw were examined in rats. Formalin and carrageenan reduced the paw pressure threshold, and this hyperalgesia lasted for 9 and 13 days, respectively. Morphine-, cocaine- and methamphetamine-ind...

The analgesic and anti-inflammatory potentials of the ethanol leaf extract of Spathodea campanulata , a Nigerian traditional medicinal plant was studied using cold, thermal and chemical-induced pain models, and carrageenan-induced acute inflammation in rats. The acute toxicity and the phytochemical constituents of the extract were also determined. The results showed that the extract (250-1000 m...

To obtain experimental evidence on the therapeutic efficacy of essential oils in aromatherapy for inflammatory diseases, we examined the effects of geranium oil on carrageenan-induced and collagen II-induced inflammation in mice, to assess acute and chronic anti-inflammatory activities of the oil. Single intraperitoneal injection of 5 mu L of geranium oil clearly suppressed the carrageenan-indu...

This study aimed to investigate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of a commercial product of noni (Morinda citrifolia) juice. Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema was employed as inflammatory model. One control and three experimental groups were formed. Experimental groups were administered noni juice alone, noni juice+carrageenan, and carrageenan alone. Oxidant and antioxidant capacity...

The observations from the present study indicate that vaginal formulations of the sulfated polysaccharide carrageenan are highly effective in protecting mice from herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection. Test formulations were placed in the vaginas of progestin-treated mice prior to inoculation with HSV-2. Infection was determined by the presence of inflammation in the genital region and ...
