Myristica fatua var. magnifica (Beddome) Sinclair belongs to the family Myristicaceae. It is a tree used as an important plant to cure various diseases. In the present study the Petroleum ether, Ethyl acetate and Methanolic extracts of Myristica fatua was evaluated for its toxicity, potential analgesic, depressant and in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The extracts at different co...

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 ...

Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (G. uralensis) is one of the most widely used herbal medicines for the treatment of cough, spasms, pain, inflammation and low immunity This study was designed to enrich total flavonoids (TFF) from G. uralensis and investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of TFF. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by inflammatory models of dimethylbenzene (DMB)-induced ea...

Urtica pilulifera l. seeds extracts (Decocted and Methanolic extracts) have anti-inflammatory effects. In an experimental-interventional study, Anti-inflammatory effects of Urtica pilulifera l. (UPL), a Traditional Iranian Medicine (TIM) plant, were examined with formalin-induced hind paw edema model in the rat. Sodium salicylate (S.S) injection (300 mg/kg; IP) was used as a positive control gr...

    Fibrates, as hypolipidemic drugs known as agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, diminish inflammatory responses. Studies have shown that incorporation of a silicon atom into a drug structure improves its pharmacological potency, modifies its selectivity toward a given target, or changes its metabolic rate, in addition to increasing the lipophilicity of the compounds. A si...

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) are the most common pharmacological group that has three primary therapeutic effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-pyrexia, and analgesia. in this study, seven of nsaids were tested against two species of skin pathogenic fungi (dermatophytes). percentage inhibition was determined for effective agents. diclofenac, aspirin and naproxen showed muc...

A series of five-membered heterocyclic rings were synthesized by the reaction between benzoyl chloride and various chlolro-nitro-benzoyl chlorides and semi carbazide to form (C1-C7) compounds and was tested for their anti-inflammatory activity determined by rat-paw-oedema method. All the synthesis compounds have been characterized by 1HNMR, IR and Mass spectral data. The compounds were purified...
