chalcone (1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-one) derivatives have been introduced as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. in the present study, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of eight novel compounds were evaluated in male mice and wistar rats by using the writhing and formalin-induced paw edema tests respectively. the activities of the compounds were compared with celecoxib as a referenc...

a series of novel indeno[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidenamines 2-9 have been synthesized via condensation of indane[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-one (1) with various primary aromatic amines in presence of acoh for 3 h. compound 1 was synthesized by condensation of indane-1,2,3-trione with benzene-1,2-diamine in presence of acoh. the synthesized compounds were characterized by ir, 1h-nmr, mass spectra and e...

Objective(s): In the present study, we investigated the potential anti-nociceptive activity and acute anti-inflammatory effect of a synthetic quinoline compound (2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)benzo[h]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid, QC), possessing structural elements of both naproxen and tomoxiprole drugs. Materials and Methods: The anti-nociceptive activity of QC was evaluated using chemical- and thermal-in...

background: thiamine (vitb1) is a vitamin with various important physiological functions and postulated therapeutic effects.  its use as an analgesic in neuropathic pain has been undergoing in clinical settings. however, there has been little experimental investigation on this effect. in this study, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of thiamine were investigated in mice. methods: t...

fruits of olea europaea l. have been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat many inflammatory diseases. in order to evaluate the anti-nociceptive activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of defatted fruits of o. europaea, formalin test was used and for evaluation of anti-inflammatory effects of the extract, the volume of paw edema was measured. the results revealed that both extr...

The effect of alcoholic extracts of leaf from Araucaria bidwillii Hook. [ABH] (Family: Araucariaceae) was evaluated in experimental models of pain and inflammation. Oral administration of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of leaf extracts of ABH were used for the above study. The leaf extract at 300 and 200 mg/kg showed significant reduction in acetic acid induced writhings in mice with a maximum effect o...

Abstract Anti-nociceptive activity of aerial parts of Phytolacca americana were investigated, using the hot plate method in mice. Results of the present study showed that the aqueous methanolic extract of aerial parts of P. americana produced a statistically significant increase in pain threshold after 30 min, in comparison with the control, at adose of 190 mg kg-1 (P 0.05). The anti-nociceptiv...
