Apocynin, a methoxy-substituted catechol (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone), originally extracted from the roots of Picrorhiza kurroa, has been extensively used as a non-toxic inhibitor of the multienzymatic complex NADPH oxidase. We discovered that the analogous methoxy-substituted catechol,
The 100-fold increase in toxicity of intraperitoneal (i.p.) rather than orally administered 2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA) is adduced to the depressive effect which this compound exerts on the contractility of the gut musculature. A structure/activity relation study shows the t-butyl group on the
OBJECTIVE
The artificial complex phenols, 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol (TBP) exert efficient antioxidant activity; however, they are considerable toxic and potentially tumor-promoting. These phenols, particularly in
OBJECTIVE
Distilled liquid smoke (DLS) is a result of coconut processing by-product that not only serves as a natural food preservative but also has a promising therapeutic effect. The healing potential of DLS derived from coconut (
Cocos nucifera L) shell was investigated
Activated microglia interact with astrocytes and neuronal cells to induce neuroinflammation, which can contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. To identify the most effective anti-neuroinflammatory agent, we designed and synthesized a family of 13 new
Ascochyta lentis var. lathyri has recently been reported to be the causal agent of Ascochyta blight of grass pea ( Lathyrus sativus), a disease characterized by the appearance of necrotic lesions of leaves and stems. Considering the novelty of the pathogen and the possible involvement of secondary
Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) is an essential oil component, possessing anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, however the effect of eugenol on porcine gut inflammation has not yet been investigated. In this study, an in vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced
Reactive oxygen species are implicated in many human diseases and aging process. Much of the evidence is based on experimental data indicating increasing rates of lipid peroxidation in disease states and the ameliorating effects of antioxidants. It is becoming increasingly evident that the natural
