Aim: Current work focuses on the improvement of solubility and dissolution of ACF by the cocrystal approach.
Background: Aceclofenac (ACF) is one of the commonly used
The development of novel protein therapeutics relies on the ability to express appreciable amounts of correctly folded recombinant proteins. Latent IFN-β is engineered using the latency-associated peptide (LAP) of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) to maintain IFN-β in a biologically inactive
Whole-blood free amino acids were measured in a control group made up of eight healthy women fasted for 12 h and also in eight patients with acute pancreatitis, five patients with acute cholecystitis and seven patients with acute appendicitis. Blood was withdrawn immediately on admission to hospital
The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) had been shown to inhibit replication of seasonal human influenza A viruses. Here, the effects of NAC on H9N2 swine influenza virus-induced acute lung injury (ALI) were investigated in mice. BALB/c mice were inoculated intranasally with 10(7) 50% tissue
Inflammatory processes in the arterial wall are important in atherogenesis. The present review discusses the development of DiNAC as a potential new treatment modality for atherosclerosis related diseases. DiNAC, N,N'-diacetyl-L-cystine, is the disulphide dimer of N-acetyl cysteine, NAC. It was
The principle mechanisms of action of dimethylcysteine (D-penicillamine) are thiazolidine formation, sulphhydryl -disulphide exchange, chelation and superoxide dismutase-like activity; as a consequence, it can enter into many varied biological interactions. Thiazolidine formation with maturing
Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), a colorless gas with a characteristic smell of rotten eggs, has been portrayed for decades as a toxic environmental pollutant. Since evidence of its basal production in mammalian tissues a decade ago, H(2)S has attracted substantial interest as a potential inorganic gaseous
OBJECTIVE
Compounds regulating intracellular thiol redox status, such as N,N-diacetyl-L-cystine dimethylester (NM(2)), were shown to prolong corneal graft survival in a penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) model. However, the effect of NM(2) on hemangiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis has not been
Not all antioxidants reduce atherosclerosis. This may be because atherosclerosis has an autoimmune, inflammatory pathogenesis. As probucol is both an antioxidant and an immunomodulatory drug, it may be the immunomodulatory effect that underlies its ability to reduce atherosclerosis.
We suggest here that Porphyromonas gingivalis DNA may function as a virulence factor in periodontal disease through expression of inflammatory cytokine. The bacterial DNA markedly stimulated in a dose-dependent manner interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by human gingival fibroblasts. The stimulatory
We have been proposing the functional discrimination of two classes of macrophages (Mp), i.e. reductive macrophages (RMp) with a high intracellular content of glutathione and oxidative macrophages (OMp) with a reduced content. In this paper we will present the evidence that the T(h)1/T(h)2 balance
During the course of inflammation and its resolution, macrophages are exposed to various cytotoxic materials, including reactive oxygen species. Thus, macrophages require a protective machinery against oxidative stress to survive at the inflammatory site. Here, we showed that xCT, a component of
Previous in vivo studies indicate that locally injected redox-modulating agents can sensitize polymodal peripheral skin nociceptors resulting in acute changes in pain perception. Since endogenous thiol-modifying redox agents are normally present in the interstitial tissue, and could be found in
