Ipomoea stolonifera (I. stolonifera) has been used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases including rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis in Chinese traditional medicine. However, the anti-inflammatory activity of I. stolonifera has not been elucidated. For this reason, the anti-inflammatory activity of n-butanol extract of I. stolonifera (BE-IS) was evaluated in vivo by using acute models (c...

The aqueous extract of Parsley ( Petroselinum crispum ) were investigated for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity at the doses of 2 , 5 , and 10 g/kg, of body weight. The experimental paradigms used were carrageenan, dextran, histamine induced pedal edema and cotton pellet induced granuloma for anti-inflammatory activity, while hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing method...

AIM To find the anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet aggregatory activity of human placental extract (HPE, Placentrex). METHODS The HPE was studied for anti-inflammatory effect in Wistar rats on carrageenin, serotonin (5-HT), and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) induced edema in acute model and cotton pellet induced granuloma on sub-acute model. Anti-platelet aggregation was studied against protection ...

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 s...

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of B. aegyptiaca seeds petroleum ether extract was investigated in Wistar albino rats. The anti-inflammatory effect was assessed on acute and chronic models by using carrageenan induced paw oedema and cotton pellet induced granuloma respectively. The analgesic activity of the petroleum ether extract of seeds was evaluated by acetic acid induced writhe...

Seventy-three teeth with acute irreversible pulpitis were subjected to emergency pulpotomies. After removal of the coronal portion of the pulp, a sterile cotton pellet or zinc oxide-eugenol cement was placed against the remaining pulp tissue. The cotton pellet was either dry or moistened with camphorated phenol, cresatin, eugenol, or isotonic saline. This gave six different groups of treatment ...

Cyclizine (1-benzhydryl-4-methyl-piperazine, CAS 82-92-8, CYC, I), a piperazine derivative, belongs to H1 antihistamine group of drugs that shows such pharmacological properties as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-platelet effects, similar to other H1-receptor antagonists. In this study, two new tolyl and cumene derivatives of I (1-ethyl-4-[(p-isopropylphenyl) (p-tolyl) methyl]-piperaz...

Pistacia vera L., a member of Anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. In this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of P. vera leaves were investigated in mice. The antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. The effect of the extracts a...

Joshanda, a polyherbal product is commonly used to treat inflammation of the mucous membranes of nose and air passages. The current study was planned to evaluate the antiinflammatory and antioxidant activity of Decoction of Joshanda (DJ). DJ was challenged in carrageenan induced paw edema and cotton pellets induced granuloma at 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg i.p. for its antiinflammtory profile. Howeve...
