Diuron and Irgarol are common antifouling biocides used in paints to prevent the attachment and growth of fouling organisms on ship hulls and other submerged structures. Concerns about their toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms have led to various restrictions on their use in antifouling paints worldwide. Previous studies have shown the widespread presence of these substances in port areas along the Brazilian coast, with a concentration primarily in the southern part of the country.

- The study examines the anti-inflammatory effects of the ethyl acetate fraction from pomegranate leaves (EAFPg) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in a mouse model.
- Male Swiss mice were treated with varying doses of EAFPg or dexamethasone before LPS exposure, and results showed that EAFPg significantly reduced neutrophil accumulation and collagen deposition in the lungs.
- Additionally, EAFPg and kaempferol decreased nitric oxide production and cytokine expression in cultured macrophages, indicating potential therapeutic value for EAFPg in treating lung inflammation.
