Veratric Acid Inhibits LPS-Induced IL-6 and IL-8 Production in Human Gingival Fibroblasts.

Veratric acid, one of the major benzoic acid isolated from vegetables and fruits, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of veratric acid on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). HGFs were pretreated with veratric acid 1 h before LPS stimulation.

6,6'-Di-tert-butyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-[1,2-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenol.

In the title mol-ecule, C(30)H(36)N(2)O(2), the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the two benzene rings of the butyl-salicylaldimine groups are 14.3 (2) and 40.6 (2)°.

Bis-(chloro-acetato-κO)bis(trimethyl-silylmethyl)tin(IV).

In the title complex, [Sn(C(2)H(2)ClO(2))(2)(C(4)H(11)Si)(2)], the Sn(IV) ion is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral environment formed by two O atoms from two monodenate chloro-acetato ligands and two C atoms from two trimethyl silyl ligands. Two further weak intra-molecular Sn⋯O contacts [2.744 (2) and 2.
