The role of opioid receptors located in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system in inflammatory pain is well established. In contrast, although it is has been shown that mu agonists can reduce other manifestations of inflammation, such as edema, the mechanism of action remains
Diphenyl-para-phenylenediamine (DPPD) is an antioxidant that has been shown to decrease liver damage due to the peroxidative process of carbon tetrachloride in rats and to ameliorate cold-induced cerebral edema in cats. Because lipid peroxidation disrupts the integrity of the plasma membrane, a
m-Trifluoromethyl-diphenyl diselenide [(m-CF3-PhSe)2] is an organoselenium molecule that displays multiple pharmacological actions, including the antinociceptive effect. The current study investigated the (m-CF3-PhSe)2 restorative properties in models of
The effects of baicalein, a flavonoid, and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) on lipid peroxidation in rat forebrain homogenates, on free radical scavenging action against diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema in mice were studied. Baicalein
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were once widely used as flame retardants in furniture and electronic products, and contamination persists in developing countries due to the dismantling of electronic waste. Our previous study confirmed that 2,2',4,4',5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-99)
Polybrominated and polychlorinated biphenyls (PBBs/PCBs), dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs/PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PBDFs/PCDFs), and diphenyl ethers (PBDEs/PCDEs) are persistent, lipophilic environmental contaminants that may pose a risk to fish early life stage survival. To determine this potential risk, a
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are brominated flame retardants. Biomonitoring studies have shown widespread presence of PBDEs in humans and their accumulation in food chain cause concern to human health, especially for foetus and infant development. The early-life stages are generally
OBJECTIVE
1-(Carboxymethyl)-3,5-diphenyl-2-methylbenzene (CDB), a novel arylacetic acid, was evaluated in vivo for its ability to inhibit acute and chronic inflammation as well as acute pain.
METHODS
The effects of CDB were evaluated using the following assays: 1) acute inflammation induced by the
A series of 2,2-dimethyl-3,3-diphenyl-propanamides as novel glucocorticoid receptor modulators is reported. SAR exploration led to the identification of 4-hydroxyphenyl propanamide derivatives displaying good agonist activity in GR-mediated transrepression assays and reduced agonist activity in
Diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) is an aryl phosphate ester (APE) used as an industrial catalyst and chemical additive and is the primary metabolite of flame retardant APEs, including triphenyl phosphate (TPHP). Minimal DPHP-specific toxicity studies have been published despite ubiquitous exposure within
The effect of single maternal subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of 0.12 mg/kg diphenyl ditelluride, (PhTe)2, diluted in canola oil at days 6, 10 or 17 of gestation were evaluated in Wistar rats. The reduction of body weight gain was statistically significant at GD9, for the dams that received (PhTe)2,
Tellurium compounds may be cytotoxic to different cells types. Thus, this work evaluated the effect of diphenyl ditelluride ((PhTe)2), an organotellurium commonly used in organic synthesis, on the morphology of liver, kidney, and lung. Adult mice were acutely (a subcutaneous single dose: 250
A novel series of 2-phenyl-5-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed and synthesized for selective COX-2 inhibition with potent anti-inflammatory activity. Among the compounds tested, 9g (2-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole) was found to be
This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effect of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)₂ on paraquat (PQ) induced alterations in rats liver. Adult male Wistar rats received (PhSe)₂ at 10 mg kg(-1), by oral administration (p.o.), during five consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last (PhSe)₂
OBJECTIVE
Ebselen, an organoselenium compound is able to modulate the inflammatory response in rodents. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activity of diaryl diselenides and ebselen was studied.
METHODS
Adult male Wistar rats and albino mice were treated with diaryl
