The aim of this study is to assess the toxicity of ibuprofen (IBU) and propranolol (PRO) drugs using as a model organism. Firstly, the 96 h LC values of IBU and PRO were determined and then three sublethal concentrations of the drugs were exposed to . The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were evaluated. SOD activity decreased in exposed to IBU and PRO compared to control. In all groups exposed to IBU, CAT activity increased at different concentrations at 24 and 96 h. In the groups exposed to different PRO concentrations, CAT activities increased after 24 h compared to the control group (p < 0.05). AChE activities increased in all application groups exposed to IBU for 96 hours (p < 0.05). In conclusion, exposure to IBU and PRO resulted in increased oxidative damage. PRO has been found to cause neurotoxicity.

Purpose: Xiangqin Jiere Granules (XQJRG), a Chinese patent medicine used to treat acute fever in children caused by colds, seasonal flu, and coronavirus disease 2019 has been proven to have antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects in young febrile rats. Fever is known to affect the host-gut microbiota crosstalk. However, the pharmacological mechanism of XQJRG in this regard remains unclear.

Problem: Preterm birth (PTB) is a significant cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the effectiveness of progesterone (P4) which is clinically used for PTB management remains controversial and necessitates research into new therapeutic options METHOD OF STUDY: In the current study, we investigated the effectiveness of two chlorophyll derivatives, pheophorbide a (PBa) and pheophytin a (PTa), in counteracting PTB. Timed-pregnant mice (gestation day 17 ± 0.

The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted an increasing clinical demand for safe and effective treatment options against an overzealous immune defence response, also known as the "cytokine storm". Andrographolide is a naturally derived bioactive compound with promising anti-inflammatory activity in many clinical studies. However, its cytokine-inhibiting activity, in direct comparison to commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), has not been extensively investigated in existing literature.

Methacrylated biopolymers are unique and attractive in preparing photocrosslinkable hydrogels in biomedical applications. Here we report a novel chitosan (CS) derivative-based injectable hydrogel with anti-inflammatory capacity via methacrylation modification. First, ibuprofen (IBU) was conjugated to the backbone of CS by carbodiimide chemistry to obtain IBU-CS conjugate, which converts water-insoluble unmodified CS into water-soluble IBU-CS conjugate.
