Investigation of the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of Heteromorpha arborescens (Apiaceae).
Heteromorpha arborescens belongs to the family Apiaceae. It is commonly known as the parsley tree. One of its uses in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa is for the treatment of abdominal pains. The therapeutic effects of the methanolic and aqueous root extracts of H. arborescens were investigated at two dose levels respectively on experimental models of pain and inflammation in rodents. ...
متن کاملArachidonic acid oxygenation by COX-1 and COX-2. Mechanisms of catalysis and inhibition.
Prostaglandins were discovered in human semen in 1930, but their low concentrations and instability precluded identification for nearly 30 years (for a brief historical review, see Ref. 1). Once they were identified, it was clear they arose from polyunsaturated fatty acids by a complex series of reactions involving oxygenation, cyclization, and the generation of five chiral centers from an achi...
متن کاملAdditive effects of Cox-1 and Cox-2 inhibition on breast cancer in vitro.
We hypothesized that combined treatment with Cox-1 and Cox-2 specific inhibitiors would exhibit synergistic effects against breast cancer in vitro. Two human breast cancer cell lines (HTB26, MCF-7) were treated with catechin (Cox-1 inhibitor) or NS398 (Cox-2 inhibitor) at 100 microM as both single and combined treatments. Reductions in cell growth were observed in both cell lines at 24 and 72 h...

متن کاملPharmacologic Inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 in Influenza A Viral Infection in Mice
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 deficiency results in greater morbidity and inflammation, whereas COX-2 deficiency leads to reduced morbidity, inflammation and mortality in influenza infected mice. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We investigated the effects of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors in influenza A viral infection. Mice were given a COX-1 inhibitor (SC-560)...
