Systemic Administration of Inhibits Inflammation Induced by Carrageenan in a Murine Model of Pulmonary Neutrophilia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of the crude extract (CE), derived fraction, and isolated compounds from leaves in a mouse model of pulmonary neutrophilia.

Methods: The CE and derived fractions, hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol, were obtained from . leaves.

New pre-clinical evidence of anti-inflammatory effect and safety of a substituted fluorophenyl imidazole.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory condition with high mortality rates, and there is still no pharmacological approach with proven effectiveness. In the past few years, several imidazole small molecules have been developed to treat conditions in which inflammation plays a central role. In the present work, we hypothesize that a novel substituted fluorophenyl imidazole synthetized by our research group would present in vivo anti-inflammatory effect in an ARDS murine model induced by LPS.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis data of the major constituents of Ilex paraguariensis leaves by UPLC-PDA and QTOF-MS.

Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil.

The anti-inflammatory effect of Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil (Mate) in a murine model of pleurisy.

Ilex paraguariensis is a native plant from Southern America, where it is used as a beverage. In traditional medicine, it is used to treat many diseases including inflammation. However, we do not yet know precisely how this effect occurs.
