The synthesis of gaultherin (1) and its analogs was carried out to provide 11 glycosides under phase-transfer catalytic conditions. The activities of all synthesized compounds were evaluated by nitric oxide production inhibitory assay in vitro. Methyl 2-O-(4-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl)-β-d-glucopyranosylbenzoate (5f) showed significantly anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects by the evaluation in vivo. Structure-activity relationships within these compounds were discussed.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is chronic pain caused by damage to the somatosensorial system on the trigeminal nerve or its branches, which involves peripheral and central dysfunction pain pathways. Trigeminal pain triggers disruptive pain in regions of the face, including within and around the mouth. Besides clinical experiences, translating the language of suffering into scientific terminology presents substantial challenges.

Introduction And Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of bee venom on the activity of two analgesics: ketoprofen (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and tramadol (an opioid drug) in the acute thermal pain model (hot-plate test) in mice.
Material And Methods: Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the dose-response relationship between logarithms of drug doses and their resultant maximum possible anti-nociceptive effects in the mouse hot-plate test. Doses that increased the anti-nociceptive effect by 20% (ED values) for bee venom, ketoprofen and tramadol, and their combination were calculated from linear equations.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a widely cultivated fruit historically recognized for its health benefits and is regarded as a nutritional powerhouse. Pomegranate has a unique composition of bioactive compounds including hydrolysable tannins, anthocyanins, and other polyphenolic components. Of those, punicalagin and its subsequent metabolites are the most extensively studied, demonstrating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-nociceptive activity.
