The aim of this study is to highlight novel CuS-carrageenan nanocomposites grown from the interface between sulfide solutions (liquid phases) and Cu-?-carrageenan gels. Several parameters including pH, copper carrageenan concentration hydrogel that influence growth nanocomposite have been examined. most effective parameter initial pH liquid phase, hence, three growing samples at 7, 10 13 were s...

Leptadenia reticulata was reported to be used for several medicinal purposes. The present study was undertaken to evaluate anti-inflammatory, analgesic and lipid peroxidation inhibition activities of L. reticulata. The anti-inflammatory assay was performed by λ-carrageenan and formalin induced paw edema test. Pro inflammatory mediators (IL2, IL6, TNF-α) in serum of treated and control organism ...

Kappaphycus alvarezii is a marine alga cultivated in Indonesia and produces carrageenan. Carrageenan product used the cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical industries. This study aimed to test viscosity gel strength of refined carrageenan with addition natural dye phycoerythrin from algae Halymenia durvillei different concentrations. Refine was made using alkaline solvents 4% NaOH 5% KOH then boiled p...

This article presents the complementary data regarding compatibilization of chitosan/κ-carrageenan polyelectrolyte complex for synthesizing of a soft film using ascorbic acid. It includes the thermal-theory for estimating the degradation of κ-carrageenan, as reflected in alteration of the structural properties of the blend. The data has been provided to demonstrate that the blend solution based...

BACKGROUND Paw carrageenan induces activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) and Akt in dorsal horn neurons in addition to induction of pain behavior. Spinal PI-3K activation is also thought to be required for inflammation-induced trafficking of GluA1, AMPA receptor subunits, into plasma membranes from cytosol. Phosphorylation of Akt has a unique time course. It occurs first in the su...

Iota-carrageenan is a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from red seaweeds, which, formulated into nasal spray, has already been proven safe and effective in viral upper respiratory infections. In Calu-3, human epithelium cell line, we explored the activity of formula iota-carrageenan sodium chloride against SARS-CoV-2. this study, assayed formula, approved as spray for use, effectively inhibite...

BACKGROUND The common cold is the most widespread viral infection in humans. Iota-carrageenan has previously shown antiviral effectiveness against cold viruses in clinical trials. This study investigated the efficacy of a carrageenan-containing nasal spray on the duration of the common cold and nasal fluid viral load in adult patients. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled...

Effect of Agar and kappa-Carrageenan on Thermal Mechanical Properties Thermo Plastic Starch (TPS) Thermoplastic starch needs to be blend with other materials because its limited properties. In order gain the desired properties, interaction between added component (filler, plasticizer, second polymer, etc) must concerned as it can affect performances final product. has been successfully made mix...

Objective(s): Pycnocycla bashagardiana is an endemic species found only in Iran. Due to the presence of myristicin as the major component of the fruit’s oil we were prompted to assess the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of P. bashagardiana fruit’s essential oil (PBFEO). Materials and Methods: The analgesic activities of PBFEO (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, IP) were studied by hot-pl...
