introduction: lithium salts are known as effective psychotropic medicine for treatment bipolar disorder and may be used to treat alcoholism, schizoaffective disorders, and cluster headaches. the antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects of prospective lithium compounds have been investigated in this work. materials and methods: the antioxidant properties were studied by the voltammetry ...

four known flavonoids: quercetin 3-o-β-d-rutinoside (q3rut), myricetin 3-o-β-d-galactopyranoside (m3gal), quercetin 3-o-β-d-galactopyranoside (q3gal) and quercetin 3-o-β-d-glucopyranoside (q3glc), for the first time were isolated from aerial parts of euphorbia microsciadia. the chemical structure of them was elucidated on the basis of 1 and 2 d-nmr spectra and different spectroscopic techniques...

The immunomodulatory activity of Cod liver oil (CLO) was evaluated by mice lethality test, carbon clearance assay, neutrophil adhesion test, cyclophosphamide-induced neutropenia, indirect haemagglutination test and effect on serum immunoglobulin levels. CLO was administered orally at a dose of 0.5 g/kg or 1 g/kg body weight. In mice lethality test, low dose of CLO (0.5 g/kg, po) produced 40% de...

flavonoids are potentially immunomodulatory factors and it may be inferred that these phytochemicals contribute to immunomodulatory properties of the allium family. in the present study, we investigated the potential mechanism underlying the immunomodulatory effect of shallot and its ethyl acetate (ea) fraction as flavonoid-rich sources. ex vivo, effects of a hydroalcoholic extract of shallot, ...

Immunomodulation is a procedure, which can alter the immune system of an organism by interfering its function. Modulation of immune system may result in suppression or stimulation of immunological reactivity. Recently the effect of immunomodulators in the treatment of various diseases is significant. Tinosporacordifolia is a widely used shrub in ayurvedic system of medicine. It is reported ...

dried aceton-chloroform extract of aerial parts of euphorbia spinidens bornm. ex prokh. endemic to iran, yielded two new triterpenoids, lup-20(29)-ene-33, 28 diol commonly known as betulin and (3β,23e)-cycloarta-23-ene-3,25-diol. the structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by 13 c- and 1 h-nmr as well as 2d-nmr, ir and by the aid of mass fragmentation pattern. in phagocyte chemilum...

Objective: Homalium letestui Pellegr (Flacourtiaceae) is used in traditional medicine in parts of Nigeria for the treatment of malaria, ulcer, and inflammatory diseases and as an aphrodisiac. This investigation was aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic, immunomodulatory, and antileishmanial properties of stem extract and fractions of Homalium letestui (H. letestui). Materials and Methods: Cytotoxic a...
