INTRODUCTION In recent years, synthesis of combination towards various heterocyclic rings has been interest for the source of lead molecules possesses wide range of pharmacological activities. Most of the compounds having pyrimidine and pyrazolidinone nucleus exhibits pharmacological action. [1-3].A broad spectrum of biological activities like antiinflammatory [4], antibacterial [5], antifungal...

Background: The study was aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Polygonum minus (Huds) using in vitro and in vivo approaches. Methods: The in vitro tests used to evaluate ethanolic extract are cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), lipooxygenase (5-LOX), secretory phospholipase-A2 (sPLA2) inhibition assay whilst the in-vivo effect was...

Objective Eicosanoids modulate inflammation via complex networks involving different pathways and downstream mediators, including oxylipins. Although altered eicosanoids are linked to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), suggesting that metabolization is enhanced, the role of oxylipins in disease stratification remains unexplored. This study was undertaken characterize oxylipin during earliest stages RA ...

is a bis-Mannich base. Mannich bases have various biological activities such as antimicrobial, cytotoxic, anticancer, analgesic, and anticonvulsant activities. It has been reported that Mannich bases such as 1-diphenylaminomethyl-3-(1-naphthylimino)-1,3-dihydroindol-3-one, 1diphenylaminomethyl-3-(4-methylphenylimino)-1,3-dihydroindol-3-one and 1,3-dicyclohexyl-5-alkyl-5-aminomethylbarbituric ac...

The most common malignant oral disease is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and most of the time this term is used synonymously with oral cancer (1). Oral cancer is a serious and growing problem in many parts of the world. When grouped together with pharyngeal cancers, it is the sixth most common cancer globally (2). There is a wide geographic variation in the incidence of this cancer. This ...

Classical proinflammatory eicosanoids, and more recently discovered lipid mediators with anti-inflammatory and proresolving bioactivity, exert a complex role in the initiation, control, and resolution of inflammation. Using a targeted lipidomics approach, we investigated circulating lipid mediator responses to resistance exercise and treatment with the NSAID ibuprofen. Human subjects undertook ...

Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, either non-selective or selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, consistently impairs ovulation, indicating the essential role of COX-2/prostaglandins in the ovulatory process. Indomethacin, a potent inhibitor of both COX-1 and COX-2, induced several ovulatory alterations, consisting of a decrease in the number of oocytes effectively o...

INTRODUCTION Tumeric is a spice that comes from the root Curcuma longa, a member of the ginger family, Zingaberaceae. In Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine), tumeric has been used for its medicinal properties for various indications and through different routes of administration, including topically, orally, and by inhalation. Curcuminoids are components of tumeric, which include mainly curc...

Objective: It has been shown that Silybum marianum or its extracts have hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in neurotransmission, neuroprotection, neurotoxicity and pathological pain, as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system. Therefore, this experiment was performed in orde...

Orai proteins contribute to Ca(2+) entry into cells through both store-dependent, Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels (Orai1) and store-independent, arachidonic acid (AA)-regulated Ca(2+) (ARC) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4)-regulated Ca(2+) (LRC) channels (Orai1/3 heteromultimers). Although activated by fundamentally different mechanisms, CRAC channels, like ARC and LRC channels, requir...
