The pyrazol compounds are known to possess antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. This study was conducted to investigate the peripheral antinociceptive effect of the pyrazole compound 5-(1-(3-Fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2H-tetrazole (LQFM-021) and involvement of opioid receptors and of the NO/cGMP/K(ATP) pathway. The oral treatments in mice with LQFM-021 (17, 75 or 300 mg/kg) decreased the number of writhing.

Kalanchoe pinnata (KP) is popularly used for treating inflammatory diseases. This study investigated the antinociceptive, antiedematogenic, and anti-inflammatory potential of the subcutaneous administration of KP flower aqueous extract (KPFE), its ethyl acetate (EtOAcF) and butanol (BuOHF) fractions, and the main KP flavonoid [quercetin 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl (1 → 2) α-L-rhamnopyranoside] (KPFV) in mice, as well as its possible mechanisms of action. KPFE (30-300 mg/kg) and KPFV (1-10 mg/kg) inhibited the acetic acid-induced writhing (ID50 = 164.

Prevention and control of flu are of great clinical importance, since they cause serious damage to health, with a consequent impact on quality of life and economy of a country. Resistance against the current drugs justifies the development of new anti-influenza molecules.

Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and comparison with literature values. This study showed the anti-inflammatory activity of EtEx, the hexane (HexL) and dichloromethane (DichL) layers, and lupeol and betulin.

Materials And Methods: Antinociceptive activity was evaluated through mouse acetic acid-induced writhing model. The anti-inflammatory activity was assessed through croton oil-induced mouse ear oedema and carrageenan-induced peritonitis.
The fresh juice from leaves of Sedum dendroideum Moc & Sessé (Crassulaceae) is used in Brazilian traditional medicine for the treatment of gastric and inflammatory disorders. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate in vivo antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of this plant material. The oral administration (0.
