Neuro-inflammation is the inflammation of nervous tissue due to oxidative stress, aging and autoimmunity and the major cause of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Periodontitis, the inflammation of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, is a chronic peripheral immuno-inflammatory condition, affiliated with gram- negative, anaerobic bacteria that cause low-grade systemi...

physalis angulata is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of malaria, ulcer, pains and other diverse ailments. the present study evaluated the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic leaf extract of the plant. acetic acid-induced abdominal contraction or writhing analgesic models in swiss albino mice (13-23g) were used for studying analgesic activity of the leaf extract. 200,...

periodontitis (pd) is known to be one of most prevalent worldwide chronic inflammatory diseases. there are several treatments including antibiotics for pd; however, since drug resistance is an increasing problem, new drugs particularly derived from plants with fewer side effects are required. the effects of trans-anethole on il-1 β and tnf-α level in a rat model of pd were investigated and comp...

objective(s): this study aimed to develop drugs from natural sources to overcome the side effects of many of synthetic drugs. methanol extracts of both pericarp and seeds of pleiogynium solandri were used to investigate antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and renal function protective, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects and to determine the chemical composition of the extract responsible for b...

Quercetin is a well-known flavonoid with different biological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, etc. However, this active ingredient was not applied broadly in clinical treatment due to the limitation of solubility, stability, and low oral bioavailability. To overcome limitation, phytosome quercetin prepared enhance quercetin's physicochemical properties permeability. In study, co...

Fruits of Olea europaea L. have been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat many inflammatory diseases. In order to evaluate the anti-nociceptive activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of defatted fruits of O. europaea, formalin test was used and for evaluation of anti-inflammatory effects of the extract, the volume of paw edema was measured. The results revealed that both extr...
