the genus artemisia is estimated to comprise over 800 species with anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. artemisia fragrans ( a. fragrans ), a species that belongs to genus artemisia , is rich in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes derivatives. due to anti-inflammatory properties of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, we aimed to investigate the effect of a. fragrans...

Detailed clinical observations by Hench (1933, 1934) established that hepatogenous jaundice ameliorated rheumatoid arthritis and fibrositis. Reports followed of remissions attending jaundice induced by the injection of bile salts and bilirubin (Thompson and Wyatt, 1938), by inoculation with infectious jaundice (Gardner, Stewart, and MacCallum, 1945), and by lactophenin (Hanssen, 1942), in addit...

tooth pulpal nerves include sympathetic and sensory nerves that originate from trigeminal ganglion .from the terminal of these sensory nerves neuropeptides are secreted that are neuromodulators and neurotransmitters. one of them is cgrp (calcitonin gene-related protein) which has a vasodilatory effect on pulpal vessels. near abscess and moderate injuries, this neuropeptide can lead to neural fi...

Glycyrrhiza glabra is a plant used in traditional medicine across the world for its pharmacological value. Its value has been proved such as anti-cough, anti-diabetes, anti-microbial and antioxidant effects. The roots of plant comrised glycyrrhizin which is 50 times sweeter than sugar. Macrophages can stimulated during inflammatory disorders, and with production of multiple inflammatory mediato...

In the present study, anti-anaphylactic, anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing properties of a lupine alkaloid plumerianine (compound 1), isolated from the root bark of Plumeria acutifolia Poir were investigated in animal models. The anti-anaphylactic activity of compound 1 (10, 25 and 50 mg/Kg) was studied by using models such as passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, passive paw anaphylaxis and ...

Objective(s): Fluvoxamine is a well-known selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI); Despite its anti-inflammatory effect, little is known about the precise mechanisms involved. In our previous work, we found that IP administration of fluvoxamine produced a noticeable anti-inflammatory effect in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of fluvoxa...

In an effort to search for more active antiinflammatory agent, a series of pyrazolinylbenzidines and isoxazolylbenzidines was designed, synthesized, and screened for their potential as novel orally inflammation inhibitors. Compounds 4,4'-bis-(1"-acetyl-5"-substitutedaryl-2"-pyrazolin-3"-yl)benzidines (8-13) and 4,4'-bis-(2"-substitutedaryl-isoxazolin-4'-yl)benzidines (14-19) have been synthesiz...

Background & Aim: The use of anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory drugs in clinical medicine is necessary and unavoidable. Since the use of synthetic drugs is associated with numerous side effects, the application of complementary therapies such as herbal medicine can accompany with less side effects while having anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
