The objective of this study was to compare the effects of oxaprozin (4,5-diphenyl-2-oxazolepropionic acid), a nonsteroidal, antiinflammatory compound, and aspirin in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to estimate gastrointestinal bleeding. The determination of fecal blood loss was made
Ditazole (4,5-diphenyl-2-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-aminoxazol) inhibits in vivo platelet aggregation induced in mice by intravenous injection of cells derived from an experimental tumor, the Lewis lung carcinoma. Such a protective effect of ditazole could not be observed when the number of circulating
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
Ditazole (4,5-diphenyl-2-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-aminoxazol) is a new drug shown to inhibit prostaglandin release from rat platelets. The present study indicates that ditazole, at doses similar to those inhibiting prostaglandin formation in rat, inhibits in vivo collagen--but not ADP-induced rat
BACKGROUND
The plant species Connarus favosus is used in folk medicine in the west of Pará state, Brazil, to treat snakebites.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the potential of the aqueous extract of Connarus favosus (AECf) to inhibit hemorrhagic and phospholipase A2 activities induced by Bothrops atrox
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may contribute to vascular repair and angiogenesis. Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12/SDF-1) is known to play an important role in the mobilization and recruitment of progenitor cells. Therefore, we assessed the function of CXCL12 as a stimulating molecule
A suicidal DNA vaccine based on a Semliki Forest virus (SFV) replicon was evaluated for the development of a vaccine against rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). The VP60 gene of RHDV was cloned and inserted into pSCA1, an SFV DNA-based replicon vector. The resultant plasmid, pSCA/VP60, was
1. Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key mediator of haemorrhagic shock (HS)-induced vascular hyperpermeability. In the present study, curcumin, a natural anti-oxidant obtained from turmeric (Curcuma longa), was tested against HS-induced hyperpermeability and associated
This study aimed to investigate the effects of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 to treat mice experimentally infected by Toxoplasma gondii on seric biomarkers of cardiac function (creatine kinase, creatine kinase MB, troponin, and myoglobin), and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as to evaluate the
Organoselenium compounds display important antioxidant activity and many biological activities interesting from pharmacological point of view. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of p-methoxyl-diphenyl diselenide, a disubstituted diaryl diselenide, on acute liver injury
The aim of this study was to determine whether purinergic signaling is a pathway associated with fumonisin B1 (FB1)-induced impairment of immune and hemostatic responses. We also determined whether dietary supplementation with diphenyl diselenide (Ph2Se2)
Five ionic liquid stationary phases were tested for the gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). In comparison with a non-polar DB5MS stationary phase, which is normally used in single-column GC for these compounds, all phases tested
