Background and objectives: Dorema ammoniacum gum resin is used in Iranian traditional medicine for different indications including inflammatory diseases which are on the rise. Considering the important role of inflammation in different diseases, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and skin toxicity of Dorema ammoniac...

Objective: In this study, we evaluated anti-inflammatory activity of leaves of Fumaria parviflora (F. parviflora) and underlying mechanisms by using in vivo models of inflammation.Material and Methods: Albino Wistar rats of either sex weighing 150 - 200 g were used. Soxhlet ethanol and aqueous extracts of leaves of F. parviflora (EFP and AFP) were prepared. The anti-inflammatory activity was st...

Diclofenac sodium has been used for its anti-inflammatory actions for about 28 years, but since all the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) suffer from the lethal gastro intestinal (GI) toxicities, diclofenac sodium is not an exception. The free –COOH group is thought to be responsible for the GI toxicity associated with all traditional NSAIDs. In the present research, the main motto...

purpose: to report a case of severe macular edema following the taking of fingolimod in multiple sclerosis. case report: a 34-year-old woman with a long history of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis presented complaining of blurred vision in the left eye that started 1 week before the presentation. she had been taking fingolimod for 4 months. she was not diabetic and had no history of uveit...

background: low dose theophylline may have some anti-inflammatory effects on copd patients. this study was conducted to determine the effect of oral low dose theophylline on serum crp level in patients with stable copd. methods: in this double blind randomized clinical trail study, 50 patients (25 in experimental and 25 in placebo group) were enrolled into the study by randomized blocking metho...

Seaweeds have caused an emerging interest in the biomedical area, mainly due to their contents of bioactive substances which show great potential as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-tumoral drugs. Despite the diversity in quality and quantity of the Mediterranean Tunisian coast flora, with its large contains of marine organisms and seaweeds, most of them have not yet been ...

To determine the pharmacological (Anti-inflammatory) potential of in-vitro cultures of Asparagus racemosus. Anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extracts of shoot, root their calli and genetically transformed shoot culture was performed using carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. The albino rats were treated orally with two dosage (500 or 1000 mg/kg body weight of rats) of drugs, one ho...
