Following in vivo treatment with carrageenan, sex-related differences in alteration of hepatic drug metabolism were found in the rat. In adult male rats, marked decreases were observed in hepatic 9000 x g supernatant cytochrome P-450 content and in the biotransformation of hexobarbital, aminopyrine, ethylmorphine, and meperidine. Hexobarbital hypnosis was significantly prolonged by carrageenan treatment in intact and testectomized animals as compared to their respective controls. Although carrageenan-treated intact animals slept 480% longer, carrageenan-treated testectomized rats slept only 60% longer than the respective control animals. However, testectomy or administration of 17 beta-estradiol to testectomized male rats did not inhibit the monooxygenase activities by carrageenan-treatment. Furthermore, administration of testosterone to ovariectomized female rats did not antagonize the inhibitory effects of the carrageenan-induced inflammation. The inhibitory effects produced by carrageenan-induced inflammation on the microsomal enzyme system were observed only in mature male rats and were not observed in mature female rats or in sexually immature rats of either sex. Thus, these results suggest that the inhibitory effects of carrageenan-induced inflammation on hepatic 9000 x g supernatant monooxygenases in the male rat are partially mediated through the toxic action of carrageenan-induced inflammation on androgen-dependent factors in this enzyme system.

Aimed to enhance the anti-inflammatory activity of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), the oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized by substituting its ester group. The structure-activity relationships revealed that the electron-withdrawing group in the phenethyl moiety enhanced anti-inflammatory activity. The order of activity potency was F ≥ CF > Cl > NO > CN.

Today, the current chemical agents used for the management of pain cause numerous complications. They are associated with the occurrence of disorders in the digestive system, damage to the kidney, or addiction, which has prompted individuals to seek novel drugs that, apart from removing the side effects, are cost-effective and available. The present survey aimed to assess the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of Korovin methanolic extract (FEME) in male Swiss mice.

In this report, we disclose the design and synthesis of a series of 2-trifluoromethyl-2H- chromene ethers as novel COX-2 inhibitors with low ulcerogenicity. Among them, 6-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-(thiophen-3-yl)ethoxy)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene (E25) significantly suppressed LPS-induced release of NO and PGE, expression of COX-2 and iNOS, and activation of NF-κB pathway. The inhibitory effect of E25 on human recombinant COX-2 (IC = 70.

Proteinogram is a semiquantitative method specially used in clinic to separate the serum proteins from patients for use in the diagnosis of diseases. However, this methodology has only been applied very recently with this approach in farmed fish. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the changes in the serum proteinogram of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), after triggering an acute or chronic sterile inflammation.

The present study aimed to estimate the phenolic compounds and evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer activity of leaf and fruit extracts in rodents. Phytochemical identification of the extracts was performed using HPLC technique. The anti-inflammatory property of the extracts was studied using three animal models of inflammation: xylene-induced ear swelling in mice, paw edoema and carrageenan-induced air pocketing in rats.
