The pro- and anti-inflammatory activity of new structural analogues of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) was studied. It was found that three PAF analogues inhibit PAF-induced rat paw edema in a dose-dependent manner. The anti-inflammatory activity of one of the PAF analogues upon PAF- or carrageenan-induced inflammation was comparable or in some extent exceeded that of dexamethasone.

Aim: Tramadol (TRM), a widely used opioid analgesic for moderate to severe pain, is associated with liver and kidney toxicity at high doses or prolonged use. This study investigates the protective role of rosmarinic acid (RA), a natural phenolic compound known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cell-protective properties, against TRM-induced hepatorenal toxicity.

Methods: Thirty-five male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: Control, TRM, RA, TRM+RA25, and TRM+RA50.

Chamuangone, a compound extracted from the leaves of Garcinia cowa, exhibits various biological activities. Yet, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profile as well as anti-inflammatory effects in macrophages remain unexplored. In this study, we employed a computational tool to predict the ADMET profile of chamuangone and performed molecular docking simulations to assess its interactions with key proteins involved in inflammatory pathways.

Background: Accelerated continuous theta burst stimulation (acTBS) is a more intensive and rapid protocol than continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). However, it remains uncertain whether acTBS exhibits anxiolytic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of acTBS on anxiety model mice and elucidate the underlying mechanisms involved, in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of its effects.
