Antipsoriatic anthrones are probably the most commonly used topical agents in the treatment of psoriasis. There is growing evidence that the biochemical basis for their mechanism of action at the molecular level is related to their redox activity leading to the production of active oxygen species,
Anthralin is the most common therapeutic agent among a small number of pro-oxidant, 9-anthrones effective in the topical treatment of psoriasis. However, the usefulness of this drug is diminished by toxic side effects, including skin irritation and inflammation. The activities of anthralin are
Histologic changes induced in SENCAR skin following a single treatment with chrysarobin (1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-9-anthrone) exhibited differences in time course from that observed with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Although not significantly different, maximum elevations in epidermal
The metabolisation of the antipsoriatically active molecules 1,8,9-triacetoxy-anthracene und 1,8-diacetoxy-9-anthrone by serum is described. Under these conditions 1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone, 1-hydroxy-8-acetoxy-9-anthrone, 1,8,1',8'-tetrahydroxy-bisanthrone, 1,8-dihyroxy-anthraquinone,
1. Antipsoriatic anthrones are among the most commonly used topical agents for the treatment of psoriasis. 2. These drugs generate reactive oxygen species during their auto-oxidation under physiological conditions. 3. Recent studies have indicated that activation of molecular oxygen by anthrones may
Certain 1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrones have been used for the topical treatment of psoriasis for over seventy-five years. The therapeutic usefulness of these compounds is limited, however, by side effects including severe skin inflammation and staining. Antipsoriatic 9-anthrones are also tumor promoters
Certain 9-anthrone derivatives are useful in treating psoriasis and are also known to be tumor promoters in mouse skin. Their therapeutic use is accompanied by side effects of severe skin inflammation, irritation, and staining. The precise biochemical mechanisms of therapeutic action, tumor
In the search for new antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds from plants, the latex of the medicinal plant Aloe harlana Reynolds from Ethiopia was subjected to bioassay-guided fractionation, which led to the isolation of two known compounds, anthrone (aloin) and chromone (7-O-methylaloeresin A).
Several species of Senna are well known for their therapeutic properties, being used in folk medicine to treat throat inflammation and constipation. In this regard, the anti-inflammatory, laxative and intestinal motility effects of different extracts of Senna macranthera (Colladon) H. Irwin and
Plants of the genus Aloe have perhaps the longest recorded history of medicinal usage and are amongst the most widely used plants for traditional medicinal purposes worldwide. Aloe vera, Aloe ferox, Aloe arborescens and Aloe perryi are the best known and most widely used, but many other species are
The synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of a series of novel 10-arylacetyl-1,8-dihydroxy-9(10H)-anthracenones are described. Acylation of anthralin with either the appropriate arylacetyl chlorides or arylacetic acids in the presence of pyridine or via the coupling agent
Aloe arborescens Miller (Family Asphodelaceae) is a member of genus Aloe, which is used in traditional medicine to cure various diseases. The extracts of the plant have been reported to possess anticancer, immunomodulator, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The phytochemical
The present study has compared different mouse stocks and strains with known sensitivity to phorbol ester skin tumor promotion for their sensitivities to skin tumor promotion by a prototypic organic peroxide (benzoyl peroxide, BzPo) and anthrone (chrysarobin, Chr) tumor promoter. Following
BACKGROUND
Rheum australe D. Don (Polygonaceae) has been commonly used in traditional medicine for a wide range of ailments related to the circulatory, digestive, endocrine, respiratory and skeletal systems as well as to infectious diseases.
OBJECTIVE
To provide the up-to-date information that is
The production of hydroperoxides is rapidly increased and remains at 200-280% of the control 1-24 h after the second daily application of 17 nmol of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to mouse skin in vivo. The levels of hydroperoxides are increased 1.63-, 2.64-, 4.07-, and 4.31-fold 18 h
