Caspases, or cysteinyl-aspartate specific proteases, are major contributing enzymes in inflammation. Caspases are highly specific cysteine proteases closely involved in inflammatory responses that are associated with programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Inappropriate regulation of cell death,
In our previous studies, Lactobacillus plantarum Y44 showed antioxidant activity and favorable gastric and intestinal transit tolerance. The purpose of this study is to determine whether L. plantarum Y44 could ameliorate intestinal inflammation and lipid metabolism disorder in obese mice fed with a
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) plays an important role in allergic skin inflammation. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including pentanoic acid, are products of bacterial metabolism and are associated with allergic skin disorders. However, whether SCFAs induce TSLP production is still unclear.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represents a common endocrine-metabolic disorder disease with chronic low-grade inflammation and alteration of intestinal flora. Serving as functional food, flaxseed oil (FO), which is rich in plant-derived α-linolenic acid of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, has
Efficient syntheses of folate receptor (FR) targeting conjugates of the anti-inflammatory, aminopterin hydrazide, are described. 2-{4-Benzoylamino}-5-oxo-5-{N'-[2-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)-ethoxycarbonyl]-hydrazino}-pentanoic acid is synthesized from commercially available
In our efforts to develop hybrid compounds of curcumin and melatonin as potential disease-modifying agents for Alzheimer's disease (AD), a potent lead hybrid compound, Z-CM-I-1, has been recently identified and biologically characterized in vitro. In this work, we report the in vivo effects of
Symmetrical bis(quinolylmethoxyphenyl)alkylcarboxylic acids were investigated as inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis and 4, 4-bis(4-(2-quinolylmethoxy)phenyl)pentanoic acid sodium salt (47.Na) met our design parameters for a drug candidate (ABT-080). This compound was readily synthesized in three
Oral sensitivity to acids mediates a range of irritation, from desirable sensations of pungency in various foods and beverages to the pain associated with harmful levels of acidity and inflammation. To characterize the role of the epithelial and vascular processes in neural sensitivity to acid
The development of fibrosis in the chronically hypertensive heart is associated with infiltration of inflammatory cells and cardiac hypertrophy. In this study, an inhibitor of the proinflammatory enzyme, group IIA human secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA), has been found to prevent collagen
Secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) enzymes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study we compared the efficacy of a potent, new and highly selective inhibitor of group IIa human sPLA(2) enzyme
OBJECTIVE
Esophageal adenocarcinoma is thought to arise from lesions produced by chronic esophageal inflammation. Secretory phospholipase A(2) is an important mediator of mucosal response to gastroesophageal reflux, but its role in the function of mature cancer cells is unclear. We sought to
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are two conditions that have many features in common and are referred as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients with IBD are predisposed to colorectal cancer. This investigation evaluates the effect of marine mangrove Avicennia marina against acetic
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease that has complex pathogenic mechanisms. Under specific pathogen-free conditions, repeated epicutaneous treatment of 2-4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) evokes AD-like clinical symptoms in NC/Nga mice. α-Lipoic acid (α-LA; 1, 2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid)
Alpha-lipoic acid (1, 2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid; LA), synthesized in mitochondria by LA synthase (Lias), is a potent antioxidant and a cofactor for metabolic enzyme complexes. In this study, we examined the effect of genetic reduction of LA synthesis on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
A new micelle drug carrier that consists of a diblock polymer of propylene sulfide (PS) and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (poly(PS₇₄-b-DMA₃₁₀)) has been synthesized and characterized for site-specific release of hydrophobic drugs to sites of inflammation. Propylene sulfide was first polymerized using a
