Penifulvins B-E (2-5), four new sesquiterpenoids with a dioxa[5.5.5.6]fenestrane ring system, have been isolated from cultures of an isolate of Penicillium griseofulvum (NRRL 35584), together with a new silphinene derivative, 12-hydroxysilphinene-15-oic acid (6). Penifulvins B-E (2-5) are oxidized analogues of penifulvin A (1) and were identified by analysis of NMR and MS data. 12-Hydroxysilphi...

The ethyl acetate soluble fraction from the roots of Sanguisorba tenuifolia was found to have a hypoglucemic effect in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Two new triterpenoids, identified as 2-oxo-3β,19α-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid β-D-gluco-pyranosyl ester (1) and 2α,19α-dihydroxy-3-oxo-12-ursen-28-oic acid β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (4) were isolated from this fraction, along with thirteen kno...

Multiple effects of ozone are a prerequisite for its use in the complex therapy inflammatory bowel diseases. Our aim was to analyze and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) oxazolone-induced colitis (OIC) upon innate immunity functions.
 OIC modeled 72 male Wistar rats weighing 24020 g by two-stage application oxazolone solution. Ozone at dose 0.05 mg/kg, as part ozone-oxygen mixture, injected in...

BACKGROUND In health economic evaluations, quality of life should be measured with preference-based utilities, such as the EuroQol 5 Dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3 L). Non-preference-based instruments (often disease-specific questionnaires) are commonly mapped to utilities. We investigated if the relationship observed between the Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) and the ...
