m-Trifluoromethyl-diphenyl diselenide [(m-CF3-PhSe)2] is an organoselenium molecule that displays multiple pharmacological actions, including the antinociceptive effect. The current study investigated the (m-CF3-PhSe)2 restorative properties in models of
A novel series of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one (chalcone) derivatives was synthesized by a simple, eco-friendly, and efficient Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction and used as precursors for the synthesis of new pyrazoline derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were screened for
BACKGROUND
Although methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is widely used in industries, there have been few studies of the pathogenic mechanisms of MDI-induced occupational asthma (MDI-OA).
METHODS
We performed immunohistochemical analyses, measured inflammatory mediators and cytokines, and
The role of opioid receptors located in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system in inflammatory pain is well established. In contrast, although it is has been shown that mu agonists can reduce other manifestations of inflammation, such as edema, the mechanism of action remains
OBJECTIVE
1-(Carboxymethyl)-3,5-diphenyl-2-methylbenzene (CDB), a novel arylacetic acid, was evaluated in vivo for its ability to inhibit acute and chronic inflammation as well as acute pain.
METHODS
The effects of CDB were evaluated using the following assays: 1) acute inflammation induced by the
In this study, trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropane-1-one (DPEP) was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated zebrafish embryos. In the present study, DPEP exhibited potential protective effect in the zebrafish embryos as confirmed by survival rate. DPEP
Isocyanates have been a leading chemical cause of occupational asthma since their utility for generating polyurethane was first recognized over 60 years ago, yet the mechanisms of isocyanate asthma pathogenesis remain unclear. The present study provides in vivo evidence that a GSH mediated pathway
A group of novel (Z)-1,2-diphenyl-1-(4-methanesulfonamidophenyl)alk-1-enes was designed for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. In vitro COX-1/COX-2 enzyme inhibition studies identified (Z)-1,2-diphenyl-1-(4-methanesulfonamidophenyl)oct-1-ene (8d) as a highly potent
A novel series of 2-phenyl-5-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed and synthesized for selective COX-2 inhibition with potent anti-inflammatory activity. Among the compounds tested, 9g (2-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole) was found to be
Inhalation of chemical pollutants has been associated with a reduced immune response in humans. Inhalation of dust is a major route of exposure for one endocrine-disrupting chemical and suspected xenoestrogen, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs); however, the impact of PBDEs on immune function is
To assess the potential therapeutic properties of trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropane-1-one (DPEP), its anti-inflammatory effects were investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells. DPEP induced dose-dependent reduction of the protein levels of inducible
Meagre and suboptimal therapeutic response along with the side effect profile associated with the existing anticancer therapy have necessitated the development of new therapeutic modalities to curb this disease. Bearing in mind the current scenario, a series of 1,2,3-triazole linked
Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular protozoan, may cause chronic infection in the brain tissue of the host inducing a systemic pro-inflammatory profile. Chronic infections can induce numerous physiological changes, such as alterations in the immune and oxidative profiles. Diphenyl diselenide
Experiments were designed to address whether diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)(2) has antiallodynic and antihyperalgesic properties. The neuropathic pain was caused by a partial tying (2/3) of sciatic nerve and the inflammatory pain was induced by an intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of 20 microl of Freund's
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) plays an important role in the antioxidant defense of the vascular wall, and its deficiency has been implicated in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. This study analyzed the potential of diphenyl diselenide (DD), a simple organoselenium compound with GPx-like
