chalcone (1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-one) derivatives have been introduced as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. in the present study, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of eight novel compounds were evaluated in male mice and wistar rats by using the writhing and formalin-induced paw edema tests respectively. the activities of the compounds were compared with celecoxib as a referenc...

a series of novel indeno[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidenamines 2-9 have been synthesized via condensation of indane[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-one (1) with various primary aromatic amines in presence of acoh for 3 h. compound 1 was synthesized by condensation of indane-1,2,3-trione with benzene-1,2-diamine in presence of acoh. the synthesized compounds were characterized by ir, 1h-nmr, mass spectra and e...

Objective(s): In the present study, we investigated the potential anti-nociceptive activity and acute anti-inflammatory effect of a synthetic quinoline compound (2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)benzo[h]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid, QC), possessing structural elements of both naproxen and tomoxiprole drugs. Materials and Methods: The anti-nociceptive activity of QC was evaluated using chemical- and thermal-in...

Abstract Anti-nociceptive activity of aerial parts of Phytolacca americana were investigated, using the hot plate method in mice. Results of the present study showed that the aqueous methanolic extract of aerial parts of P. americana produced a statistically significant increase in pain threshold after 30 min, in comparison with the control, at adose of 190 mg kg-1 (P 0.05). The anti-nociceptiv...

the circadian variation of the toxicity and nociceptive activity of aminophylline as an important methylxanthine was studied in mice. the animals were housed under controlled light-dark cycles for at least 2 weeks. acute toxicity was determined by ld50. hot-plate test was used for determination of thermal pain threshold. doses of 200, 250, 280 and 340 mg/kg of aminophylline were injected intrap...
