Methyldecanoate isolated from marine algae Turbinaria ornata enhances immunomodulation in LPS-induced inflammatory reactions in RAW 264.7 macrophages via iNOS/NFκB pathway.

This study identifies the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory potential of a fatty acid methyl ester segregated from the brown algae Turbinaria ornata and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry as methyl 6,12-dimethyltridecanoate (ET). Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of ET were studied on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory reaction in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Immunomodulatory activity of brown algae Turbinaria ornata derived sulfated polysaccharide on LPS induced systemic inflammation.

Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress are common pathologies in a wide range of chronic diseases. Polysaccharides are known to exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential and are suggested to possess immunomodulatory potential.

Purpose: Herein, the immunomodulatory activity of a sulfated polysaccharide (PS) separated from a brown marine algae Turbinaria ornata is studied in LPS instigated systemic inflammation in experimental rats.

Macrotyloma uniflorum a plant food alleviates the metabolic syndrome through modulation of adipokines and PPARs.

A sedentary lifestyle combined with the intake of high-calorie diet has been the paramount cause of metabolic syndrome (MS) which is now a serious concern of public health worldwide as it involves the coexistence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, and obesity. Hence, identifying a suitable strategy to overcome the worldwide menace of MS is imperative. Macrotyloma uniflorum a lesser known legume is highly nutritious and notable for its ethano-medicinal potential.

Sulfated polysaccharide from Turbinaria ornata suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Background: Marine macroalgae known for its polysaccharides exhibit potent biomedical properties and its potential as an anti-inflammatory agent has increased in the recent past as inflammation is a major pathology noted in many chronic diseases.

Purpose: The present study investigates the anti-inflammatory potential of a sulfated polysaccharide (PS) isolated from the marine algae Turbinaria ornata collected from the Indian waters on LPS induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Positive interaction of mangiferin with selected oral hypoglycemic drugs: a therapeutic strategy to alleviate diabetic nephropathy in experimental rats.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the notorious diabetes associated complications. Despite many therapeutic strategies available, metabolic control of DN continues to poses a challenge. In this study, the interactions of mangiferin with selected oral hypoglycemic drugs, metformin and gliclazide to effectively alleviate the symptoms of renal injury in DN are evaluated.

Antidiabetic effect of mangiferin in combination with oral hypoglycemic agents metformin and gliclazide.

Background: Diabetes mellitus poses serious threat to the global population due to the alarming diabetic complications it leads to. The current therapeutic options available can be improved for better efficiency and maximum benefits. Combination therapy has been commonly used to improve the efficacy and to minimize the side effects of drugs in current clinical use.

Anti-arthritic potential of marine macroalgae Turbinaria ornata in Complete Freund's Adjuvant induced rats.

T. ornata a macroalgae rich in bioactive molecules possess various biological activities. Herein, the aim of the study is to evaluate the aqueous extract and the sulphated polysaccharide isolated from T.

Methyl 2,2-bis-(2,4-dinitro-phen-yl)ethano-ate.

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)N(4)O(10), the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 89.05 (16)°. One O atom of one of the nitro groups is disordered over two sites in a 0.

2-Meth-oxy-anilinium 3-hy-droxy-2,4,6-trinitro-phenolate.

The cation and anion of the title mol-ecular salt, C(7)H(10)NO(+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(8) (-), are linked via an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is also found in the anion. In the crystal, the anions self-assemble via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a C(9) supra-molecular chain the b axis.

Studies on removal of chromium (VI) from water using chitosan coated Cyperus pangorei.

Environmental contamination by toxic heavy metals is a significant universal problem. The main objective of the study is to use a biodegradable materials like Cyperus pangorei and Chitosan as a composite biosorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from water. The newly prepared biosorbent is characterized and the capacity of Cr(VI) removal of the biosorbent is carried out systematically by batch mode operations.

Morpholinium styphnate.

In the title mol-ecular salt (systematic name: morpholinium 3-hy-droxy-2,4,6-trinitro-phenolate), C(4)H(10)NO(+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(8) (-), two of the nitro groups of the anion are close to parallel with the plane of the benzene ring [dihedral angles = 3.46 (9) and 11.60 (10)°] and one is almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 82.

Triethyl-ammonium 2,4-dinitro-phenyl-barbiturate.
