Spinal administration of GABA(A) receptor modulators, such as the benzodiazepine drug diazepam, partially alleviates neuropathic hypersensitivity that manifests as spontaneous pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia. However, benzodiazepines are hindered by sedative impairments and other side effect
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent and bio-accumulative chemicals that provoke a wide range of toxic effects. Their adverse impacts on the reproductive system are of great concern, however, the effects of PCBs on endometrium are still unclear. In the study, the endometrial
Some new biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid 5-(arylidene)-2-(aryl)-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl amides have been synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity. Biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide was converted to the corresponding aryl hydrazones using aryl aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount
Background: Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are relevant families of persistent organic pollutants, which have been linked to several long-term adverse health effects. The mechanisms of action of
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and granule proteases produced by human neutrophils contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. The MeOH extract of the stem bark of Magnolia officinalis showed potent inhibitory effects on superoxide anion generation and elastase release by human
100 analogs of gamma-oxo(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-butanoic acid (fenbufen) were prepared and tested using the carrageenin, polyarthritis, and UV erythema anti-inflammatory tests and the 2-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone writhing and inflamed paw pressure analgesic tests. Only three retained the same full spectrum
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are one of the most refractory environmental pollutants. Because of their ubiquitous existence in the biological systems (including human body), it is important to investigate their toxic behavior. Our previous findings demonstrated that a high reactive metabolite of
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are environmental pollutants associated with non-alcoholic-steatohepatitis (NASH), diabetes, and obesity. We previously demonstrated that the PCB mixture, Aroclor 1260, induced steatohepatitis and activated nuclear receptors in a diet-induced obesity mouse model.
A new class of 4'-methylbiphenyl-2-(substituted phenyl)carboxamide derivatives had been previously evaluated in vivo for their anti-inflammatory activities in animal models of inflammation. In the present study, the most active compound of that series, compound 4e (4'-methylbiphenyl-2-(4-carboxy
l-Lysines were conjugated to lipidated biphenyls using simple synthetic chemistry to obtain selective membrane-active antibacterial agents that inhibit cell-wall biosynthesis. The most selective compound bore promising activity against biofilm-related infections and intracellular bacteria, and also
Two new biphenyl-type neolignan derivatives, 2-[2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-benzofuran-5-yl]-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)phenol (1) and 2'-ethoxy-5,5'-di(prop-2-en-1-yl)biphenyl-2-ol (2), were isolated from the twigs of Magnolia denudata, together with six known compounds (3-8). The structures of 1 and 2 were
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract of the roots of Rhaphiolepis indica var. tashiroi afforded four new dibenzofurans, 2-hydroxy-3,4,6-trimethoxydibenzofuran (1), 2-hydroxy-3,4,9-trimethoxydibenzofuran (2), 2-hydroxy-3,4,6,9-tetramethoxydibenzofuran (3), and
(1) Objective: Highlight the in vitro effects of 3T3-L1 cell exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB118 and 153) or benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) alone or as a cocktail on adipogenesis (ADG) by focusing on changes in lipid metabolism and inflammatory-related genes expression (INFG) and ADG-related genes
The cell-cycle checkpoint protein p53 both directs terminal differentiation and protects embryos from DNA damage. To study invertebrate p53 during early development, we identified three differentially expressed p53 family members (p53, p97, p120) in the surf clam, Spisula solidissima. In these
