The influence of four ethanolamine derivatives with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity on the in vitro aminopyrine N-demethylation was studied. It was found that these compounds inhibit the N-demethylation of aminopyrine. 1-Cyclohexyl-5-(2-hydroxy-ethylamino)-pentan-2-one (compound 4),
The effect of eight ethylenediamine and ethanolamine derivatives on inflammation was investigated in the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. The ability of these compounds to inhibit superoxide anion radical (O2-.) formation in vitro was also examined using the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system.
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLase A2) is activated by low Ca2+ concentrations and translocates from the cytosol to the cell membrane, releasing arachidonic acid; the arachidonic acid cascade then leads to the production of many inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study, accordingly, was to
The predominance of specific bacteria such as adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) within the Crohn's disease (CD) intestine remains poorly understood with little evidence uncovered to support a selective pressure underlying their presence. Intestinal ethanolamine is however In addition to their antihistamine effects, H1-receptor antagonists possess pharmacological properties that are not uniformly distributed among this class of drugs, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antiplatelet activities. In this paper, Cyclizine (1-benzhydryl-4-methyl-piperazine, I),
N-acylethanolamines, which include the endocannabinoid anandamide and the cannabinoid receptor-inactive saturated compounds N-palmitoyl ethanolamine and N-stearoyl ethanolamine, are ethanolamines of long-chain fatty acids degraded by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) known to accumulate in
n-3 PUFAs have beneficial health effects which are believed to be partly related to their anti-inflammatory properties, however the exact mechanisms behind this are unknown. One possible explanation could be via their conversion to N-acyl ethanolamines (NAEs), which are known to possess
Conventional wisdom holds that microbes support their growth in vertebrate hosts by exploiting a large variety of nutrients. We show here that use of a specific nutrient (ethanolamine) confers a marked growth advantage on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in the lumen of the
The endogenous cannabimimetic compound, and anandamide analogue, N-palmitoyl-ethanolamine (PEA), was shown to exert potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in experimental models of visceral, neuropathic and inflammatory pain by acting via several possible mechanisms. However, only scant data
Protective mechanisms against drug-induced liver injury are actively being searched to identify new therapeutic targets. Among them, the anti-inflammatory N-acyl ethanolamide (NAE)-peroxisome proliferators activated receptor alpha (PPARα) system has gained much interest after the identification of
Six substituted oxo- or hydroxy-aminoethanols and ethylenediamines were synthesized and tested as anti-inflammatory agents. 1-Substituted 4-(2-aminoethylamino)-1-butanones and 1-substituted 4-(2-hydroxy-ethylamino)-1-butanones were prepared by reacting the appropriate 4-chloro-1-butanone with the
Conjugates of fatty acids and amines, including endocannabinoids, are known to play important roles as endogenous signaling molecules. Among these, the ethanolamine conjugate of the n-3 poly unsaturated long chain fatty acid (PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) (DHA) was shown to possess strong
Phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (ECT) catalyzes the rate-controlling step in a major pathway for the synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn). Hepatocyte-specific deletion of the ECT gene in mice resulted in normal appearing animals without overt signs of liver injury or inflammation.
Ethanolamine plasmalogen (pPE), a major phospholipid in neuronal membranes, is specifically reduced in postmortem brains from patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of EPA-enriched ethanolamine plasmalogen (EPA-pPE) and EPA-enriched
BACKGROUND
Few studies have been done comparing ethanolamine oleate injection therapy with other sclerosing agents. Between September 1992 and August 1995, 78 consecutive patients presenting with a high-risk bleeding ulcer were randomized in a trial comparing endoscopic injection sclerotherapies
