The objective was to determine differences in follicle and reproductive hormone characteristics in mares with ovulatory and flunixin meglumine (FM)-induced anovulatory cycles. Estrous mares were given 1500 IU hCG when the follicle was ≥ 32 mm (0 h). In Experiment 1, control mares (n = 7) were not treated further. The remaining mares (n = 11) were given 1.7 mg/kg FM i.v. twice daily, from 0 to 3...

Four precise, accurate, selective, and sensitive UV-spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of a binary mixture of Oxytetracycline HCl (OXY) and Flunixin Meglumine (FLU). The first method, dual wavelength (DW), depends on measuring the difference in absorbance (ΔA 273.4-327 nm) for the determination of OXY where FLU is zero while FLU is determi...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has been recognized as a major public health problem in several countries. It is highly endemic in the north and east Mediterranean regions in the Syrian Arab Republic with more than 75.9% of all CL cases recorded from these regions. Pentavalent antimonials have been considered as standard treatment for leishmaniasis. Use of pentavalent antimonials to treat leishman...

Although intralesional meglumine antimoniate (MA) infiltration is considered an option for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) therapy and is widely used in the Old World, there have been few studies supporting this therapeutic approach in the Americas. This study aims to describe outcomes and adverse events associated with intralesional therapy for CL. This retrospective study reviewed the experience...

ABSTRACT: Painful procedures can affect the function of innate immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, increasing risk infectious diseases. The present work aimed to verify if analgesics flunixin meglumine or ketoprofen attenuate pain/discomfort newborn lambs submitted by elastration tail docking thereby avoid impairment blood granulocytes function. Twenty-one neonate were divided in...

Descrevemos a síntese formal da desoxinojirimicina usando D-glucitol como material de partida economicamente atraente. Através de uma seqüência de reações de proteção e desproteção seletivas e reações de substituição nucleofílica obtivemos diversos intermediários isopropilidênicos. A formação de um epóxido intermediário e sua subseqüente abertura, através de uma reação nucleofílica intramolecul...
