Taurine and enzymatically modified isoquercitrin protected against methotrexate-induced deteriorations in the conductivity and rhythmicity of the heart in rats: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and histological architecture approach.

Cardiotoxicity is one of the most devastating complications of cancer treatment by methotrexate (MTX). The present study aimed to investigate the potential anti-cardiotoxic efficacy of taurine (Tau) and enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) alone or combined against MTX-induced cardiotoxicity in adult male rats. A total of 36 rats were randomly divided into six groups (six animals each): control, MTX (a single i.

Hepatoprotective effect of Saccharomyces Cervisciae Cell Wall Extract against thioacetamide-induced liver fibrosis in rats.

Fibrosis represents a common outcome of almost all chronic liver diseases and leads to an impairment of liver function that requires medical intervention. The current study aimed to evaluate the potential anti-fibrotic effect of cell wall extract (SCCWE) against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis in rats (200mg/kg b.w.

Carvacrol hinders the progression of hepatic fibrosis via targeting autotaxin and thioredoxin in thioacetamide-induced liver fibrosis in rat.

Fibrosis is a common outcome of nearly all chronic diseases of liver that results in changes of its functions which requires medical attention. The current research aims to investigate the potential anti-fibrotic efficacy of Carvacrol against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis in male rats using Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) as a reference anti-fibrotic product. Carvacrol (25 and 50 mg/kg) markedly declined TAA-increased serum liver enzymes; alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) as well as total bilirubin (TB) and direct bilirubin (DB) levels as well as increased levels of total protein (TP) and albumin.

Hepatoprotective effect of Omega-3 PUFAs against acute paracetamol-induced hepatic injury confirmed by FTIR.

Acute paracetamol over dose-induced hepatotoxicity is considered an important medical hazard especially among women. Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 PUFAs) daily doses are nowadays recommended for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is considered a reliable method in analyzing cellular alterations and is now efficiently used to diagnose several diseases and the efficacy of drugs even in the early stages.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 2-substituted benzo[b]thiophenes as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.

An efficient method for trapping isocyanate 4, generated from the Curtius rearrangement, with ethyl alcohol to afford the carbamate 5 is reported. 5-Nitrobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid 1 is converted to the corresponding hydrazide 2 by the reaction with hydrazine hydrate and then to the azide 3 with nitrous acid, followed by thermal rearrangement, cooling, and trapping in one pot reaction. The carbamate 5 is treated with hydrazine hydrate to afford the desired, Zileuton analogue, 4-(5-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene-2-yl)semicarbazide 6.
