Cyclizine (1-benzhydryl-4-methyl-piperazine, CAS 82-92-8, CYC, I), a piperazine derivative, belongs to H1 antihistamine group of drugs that shows such pharmacological properties as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-platelet effects, similar to other H1-receptor antagonists. In this study, two new tolyl and cumene derivatives of I (1-ethyl-4-[(p-isopropylphenyl) (p-tolyl) methyl]-piperaz...

The aim of this study was to assess the in vivo potential of ethanolic extracts of Glycine max (L.) Merr. (SoRiTae) and Rhynchosia nulubilis (Yak-Kong) seeds as natural anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory agents. To assess the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory potential, the ethanolic extracts of SoRiTae and Yak-Kong seeds were tested in arachidonic acid-induced ear edema, carrageenan i...

BACKGROUND Lipoic acid (LA) was shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we present evidence supporting the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory properties of LA are associated with the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). METHODS The study was conducted on male albino Swiss mice. The animals were treated with carrageenan by subcutaneous (sc) injection into the right hin...

calcium mobilization is known to be an important factor in the activation of cells involved in inflammation,so,calcium-channel antagonists are be expected ti exhibit antiinflammatory activity.in the present study,we evaluateted the antiinflammatory effects of two calcium channel blockers,verapamil and nifedipine on adjuvant induced chronic in flammation in rat paw.sixty adult male rats were div...

We have investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Cinnamomum cassia constituents (cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamic alcohol, cinnamic acid, and coumarin) using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse macrophage (RAW264.7) and carrageenan (Carr)-induced mouse paw edema model. When RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with cinnamic aldehyde together with LPS, a significant concentration-dependent in...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to further investigate the effect of amitriptyline, a classical tricyclic antidepressant, on carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. METHODS First, amitriptyline was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg kg-1, 30 min before subplantar injection of carrageenan. Second, amitriptyline was given intracerebroventriculary or intra...

Background: Curcumin is yellow pigment of tumeric, and, that is extracted from it lawsonia (2-hydroxy 1,4 naphtoquinon) is a natural product and it is extracted from henna. Ginger is a dried rhizomes gained from a plant called zingiber officinalea, which is extracted from the family of ginger. Material and Methods: This experimental study performed on adult male rats. Acute inflammatory edema ...

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of high voltage stimulation (HVS) on edema reduction in the rat hindpaw. The animals were divided into a control group (n = 20) and a treated group (n = 20). The right hindpaw volume was measured, and then the animal's paw was traumatized. The animals in the treated group were treated with HVS at 24, 48, and 72 hours posttrauma. Paw volume measur...

Pogostemon cablin (PC) is a herbal medicine traditionally applied to treat not only common cold, nausea and diarrhea but also headache and fever. The aim of this study was to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of standardized PC methanol extract (PCMeOH) in vivo. Investigations were performed in mice with two analgesic models. One was acetic acid-induced writhing respons...

Anti inflammatory potential of aerial parts of Phyllanthus longiflorus was investigated in the present study using acute and chronic inflammatory models. Carrageenan, dextran and formalin were used as an edematogenic agent to induce hind paw edema in rats and the mean increase in paw volume were measured using plethysmometer. Results showed that methanol extract of Phyllanthus longiflorus at th...
