In the present study, various amide derivatives of sulfanilamide, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, dapsone and isoniazid have been synthesized by condensing them with appropriate 4-oxo-4-(4-substituted phenyl)butanoic acid moiety. The compounds have been evaluated for their antiinflammatory, ulcerogenic and antibacterial activities. Their structures were established on the basis of elemental ana...

Ketorolac is a potent nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID). In adult humans and animals, its analgesic efficacy can be comparable to opiates. However, it has not been studied in neonatal animals. We conducted a blinded, controlled study comparing the effects of ketorolac and morphine in neonatal rats using the formalin model. Animals were given intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of ketorol...

Diclofenac has been conjugated with different antioxidants having antiulcerogenic activity with the objective of obtaining diclofenac-antioxidant mutual prodrugs as safer NSAIDs devoid of ulcerogenic side-effects. The synthesized derivatives are screened for their antiinflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer activity. The mutual prodrugs show retention of antiinflammatory activity with reduced ulc...

The search for newer non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the importance of oxadiazoles as antiinflammatory agents prompted us to undertake the synthesis of some novel oxadiazole and related analogues with unreported antiinflammatory activities. The antiinflammatory potential of the compounds was investigated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method and cotton pellet-indu...

In the clinical management of arthritis, the choice of nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) remains confusing and controversial. A common practice on the choice of NSAID in clinical management of arthritis is the risk benefit ratio. The main objective of this review is to addresses the main arguments for the pharmacological and clinical use of COX-2 inhibitors in relation to nonselective...

A study was performed to assess the time between drug intake and drug induced hypersensitivity reaction for patients sensitive to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) in clinical patient history and after oral provocation tests. Drug hypersensitivity ENDA questionnaires were filled for the patients with suspected sensitivity to NSAID. Oral provocation tests were performed with suspected ...

objective(s):in the present study, we evaluated immunological and immunomodulatory properties of royal jelly (rj) in 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (tnbs)-induced colitis in rats. materials and methods: eighteen adult female wistar albino rats were divided into three groups of six animals each: a control group that received only saline solution, a tnbs-induced colitis group, and a tnbs-col...

objective: premna integrifolia linn (family: verbenaceae) synonym of premna serratifolia has tremendous medicinal value. preliminary pharmacological studies were performed on the methanolic extract of premna integrifolia (mepi) bark to investigate neuropharmacological, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities. materials and methods: neuropharmacology study was done by open field and hole cro...
