Objective(s): The objective of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of licochalcone B (LCB) in a mice model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver toxicity. Materials and Methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced in mice by a single subcutaneous injection (SC) of CCl4. The LCB was administered orally once a day for seven days (PO) as pretreatment at three doses of 1, 5, and...

introduction: increased oxidative stress is widely accepted to be a factor in the development and progression of alzheimer’s disease. triazine derivatives possess a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidative and anti-in.ammatory actions. in this study, we aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of 3-thioethyl-5,6-dimethoxyphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (tedmt) on h2o2-...

Deregulation of a broad range protein kinases has been linked to the development and growth cancer cells. Protein are intracellular enzymes that regulate cell proliferation as well triggering regulation immune responses. important therapeutic targets in because their critical role signalling mechanisms drive malignant characteristics. Intensive efforts drug research have made this area over las...

diabetic retinopathy is the lead among causes of blindness in north america. glucose-induced endothelial injury is the most important cause of diabetic retinopathy and other vascular complications. extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (erk5), also known as big mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (bmk1), is a member of mitogen-activated protein kinases (mapk) family. physiologically, it is cri...

The mammalian p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) family is composed of four members (p38α, p38β, p38γ, and p38δ), which are very similar in amino acid sequence but differ in their expression patterns. This suggests that they may have specific functions in different organs. In the last years most of the effort has been centred on the study of the function of the p38α isoform, which is...
