Interaction Study of 1, 3 Substituted Isatin Derivatives with Anti Inflammatory Properties with Cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 Enzymes by Molecular Docking Method
Introduction: Inflammation as the body's defense response is accompanied with various diseases. Prostaglandins are major mediators of inflammation produced by the cyclooxygenase enzymes. So inhibitors of these enzymes can be effective in treating inflammation. There are reports of inhibition of these enzymes by isatin derivatives to control inflammation. Isatin is a heterocyclic compound whose...
متن کاملInhibition of Cyclooxygenase Type 1 and 2 Enzyme by Aqueous Extract of Elaeagnus Angustifolia in Mice
Introduction: It has been shown that the extract of Elaeagnus angustifolia can inhibit inflammation and pain induced by formalin in mice and rats. The aim of the present study is to reach evaluations of possible cellular and molecular mechanisms of Elaeagnus angustifolia extract in reducing pain and inflammation through examining the extract ability for inhibition of cyclooxygenase (Cox) type ...
متن کاملStreptococcus pneumoniae-induced regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in human lung tissue.
The majority of cases of community-acquired pneumonia are caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and most studies on pneumococcal host interaction are based on cell culture or animal experiments. Thus, little is known about infections in human lung tissue. Cyclooxygenase-2 and its metabolites play an important regulatory role in lung inflammation. Therefore, we established a pneumococcal infection ...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cells alleviate airway inflammation and emphysema in COPD through down-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 via p38 and ERK MAPK pathways
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been identified as one possible strategy for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our previous studies have demonstrated that MSC administration has therapeutic potential in airway inflammation and emphysema via a paracrine mechanism. We proposed that MSCs reverse the inflammatory process and restore impaired lung ...
متن کاملImpact of Aspirin Eugenol Ester on Cyclooxygenase-1，Cyclooxygenase-2，C-reactive protein，Prothrombin and Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase in Healthy Rats
Aspirin eugenol ester (AEE) is a promising drug candidate, which is used for the treatment of inflammation, pain and fever and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This study focuses on the effect of AEE on five proteins which are related to inflammation and thrombosis, including cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), C-reactive protein (CRP), prothrombin (FII) and arachidona...
