Transcription factor NF-κB and relevant cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 play a pivotal role in thepathogenesis of inflammation. Sinapic acid is a natural product and was demonstrated to possessanti-inflammatory activity. In this paper, we synthesized a series of sinapic acid derivativesand evaluated their anti-inflammatory effects. The result suggested that all of the targetscompounds 7a-j inhibit NF-κ...

We recently established a novel co-culture assay system using activated inflammatory cells and AS52 Chinese hamster ovary cells, and demonstrated that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) generated from activated inflammatory leukocytes induce mutations in the gpt recorder gene in AS52 cells. In this study, we examined the inhibitory effects of 19 agents with antioxidative properties on ...

Extracts obtained from the petals of Rosa damascena (Rosaceae) are used in Iranian folk medicine as remedies for the treatment of some inflammatory diseases. In this study the hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil of the plant were investigated for its possible anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. The extract was administered at the doses (p.o.) of 250, 500 and 1000?mg/kg and the dose...
