Although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid compounds are widely used in the releif of pain, they are not always useful due to their side effects. It seems necessary to search for newer analgesic compounds. Therefore, we decided to study the analgesic effects of this plant. For extraction, percolation method was used and different weights of dried extract were dissolved i...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the oldest and most widely used groups nowadays. However, problem searching for creating new NSAIDs remains open, primarily due to risks owing their short- long-term use. In this context, triazole-azepine hybrid molecules attractive prospective objects rational design novel potential NSAIDs. present work studies 3-aryl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro...

The early phase of orthodontic tooth movement involves sterile acute inflammation of the periodontal ligament in response to biomechanical forces. Anti-inflammatories are pharmacologic agents used in medical and dentistry clinics. The aim of the study was to analyse the bone remodelling during orthodontic movement under non-steroidal and steroidal treatment. Male Wistar rats (n = 90) were rando...

In the present study, the effect of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug betamethasone (0.12, 0.24 mg/kg, i.p. acutely) on striatal glutamate level in Parkinsonian rats was studied using the microdialysis technique. Our results showed significant differences (p

Ligand-activated androgen receptors (ARs) occupy target genes and recruit histone modifiers that influence transcriptional competency. In LNCaP prostate cancer cells, the natural ligand 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) activates transiently transfected AR-responsive promoter constructs; concurrent treatment with the protein kinase A activator forskolin enhanced AR stimulation induced by DHT. Ad...

Introduction: The etiology of male breast cancer is unclear, but hormonal levels may play a role in development of this disease. It seems that the risk of male breast cancer related to increased lifelong exposure to estrogen or reduced androgen. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the steroid hormone receptors including estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR...

Examination of the bulbs of Lilium pumilum (Liliaceae) led to the isolation of four novel steroidal glycosides (1-4) with a 2,3,4-trisubstituted β-d-glucopyranosyl unit. In 1 and 3, the α-L-arabinopyranosyl moiety is linked to C-3 of the inner trisubstituted β-D-glucopyranosyl group and is present as an usual ⁴C₁ conformation. In contrast, in 2 and 4, the α-L-arabinopyranosyl moiety, which is a...

A convergent synthesis of a novel estrogen receptor-targeted drug hybrid was developed based on structures of the potent anti-proliferative mitomycin C and the steroidal anti-estrogen RU 39411. The steroidal antiestrogen was prepared with an azido-triethylene glycoloxy linker while the mitomycin C derivative (porfirimycin) incorporated a complementary 7-N-terminal alkyne. The two components wer...
