The title compounds (8) were synthesized through the cyclocondensation of the corresponding N-substituted 4-amino-2-chloro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamides (4) with the proper hydrazides, in order to evaluate their anti-inflammatory and anti-aggressive properties. Several compounds 8 exhibited high anti-inflammatory activity (carrageenin-induced paw edema assay in the rat) along with appreciabl...

This work has been done for the investigation of the anti-inflammatory activity of solvent extracts of dried leaves of Murraya koenigii Linn. by oral administration at dose of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight in healthy albino rats. Extracts were studied for its anti-inflammatory activity by using carrageenaninduced hind paw edema in albino rats and the mean increase in paw volume and % inhib...

Acute pharyngitis is characterized by an inflammation of the mucous membranes in the pharynx. Yanshu spraying agent was prepared according to the traditional Chinese formulation for the treatment of acute pharyngitis. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Yanshu in xylene-induced ear edema in mice and carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats by measuring the degree...

OBJECTIVES The aim was to evaluate the effect of high molecular weight protein fraction of Calotropis procera latex on edema formation and oxidative stress in carrageenan-induced paw inflammation. METHODS A sub-plantar injection of carrageenan was given to induce edema in the hind paw of the rat. The inhibitory effect of high molecular weight protein fraction of C. procera latex was evaluated...

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-peritoneal...

OBJECTIVES 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 fluvoxamin...

Rose-oxide is a fragrance found in roses and rose oil. There are no reports about the pharmacological activity of this molecule. The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether rose-oxide (RO) has anti-inflammatory properties and to investigate possible mechanisms involved with its effects. The anti-inflammatory activity of RO was first suggested by the formalin test in mice, an inflammato...

in the present study, anti-anaphylactic, anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing properties of a lupine alkaloid plumerianine (compound 1), isolated from the root bark of plumeria acutifolia poir were investigated in animal models. the anti-anaphylactic activity of compound 1 (10, 25 and 50 mg/kg) was studied by using models such as passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, passive paw anaphylaxis and ...
