phenylhydrazine/inflammation

A synthetic small molecule, 1-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-2-phenylhydrazine (HMPH) was conveniently synthesised by a one-step reaction, purified and characterised by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. HMPH scavenged free radicals and inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ROS generation

Pulmonary thrombosis is a life-threatening disorder caused by various risk factors. We previously reported that phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces acute thrombosis in the rat lung, with regional stasis in the alveolar capillaries as a trigger, and subsequent hemostatic disruption is involved as an

Oxidative-stress induces inflammatory diseases. Further, infections caused by drug-resistant microbial strains are on the rise. This necessitates the discovery of novel small-molecules for intervention therapy. A series of 3-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-1-(aryl)prop-2-en-1-ones are synthesized as

Neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia might cause severe bilirubin neurotoxicity in especially hemolytic conditions. The study aimed to elucidate the potential neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin (EPO) in hemolysis-induced hyperbilirubinemia. In newborn rats, hyperbilirubinemia secondary to

Phenylhydrazine when injected into the mouse acts in two phases. At an early stage it provokes directly in the erythrocytes as well as in the liver a decrease in the concentration of acid soluble nonprotein thiol groups. Indirectly it causes a later and more lasting increase in glutathione

Four novel series of 4(3 H)-quinazolinone derivatives have been synthesized by cyclization of the intermediate 3-aryl-2-(6-aryl-2-cyclohexen-1-on-5-yl)-4(3 H)-quinazolinones 3a-f with hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, hydroxylamine and thiourea. The products are 3-aryl-2-(6-aryl-3-methyl-1

Oxidative-stress induces inflammatory diseases and infections caused by drug-resistant microbial strains are on the rise necessitating the discovery of novel small-molecules for intervention therapy. The current study presents an effective and new green protocol for the synthesis of

BACKGROUND The fruits of Opuntia elatior Mill. are known as prickly pear and folkloric use as hematinic, anti-inflammatory and antiasthmatic action. Previously, the fruit juice of prickly pear was evaluated in reversed anemia induced by HgCl2 in a dose dependant manner and present study revealed

Hepcidin, an iron regulatory peptide, plays a central role in the maintenance of systemic iron homeostasis by inducing the internalization and degradation of the iron exporter, ferroportin. Hepcidin expression in the liver is regulated in response to several stimuli including iron status,

In a new group of 3-methyl-2-phenyl-1-substituted-indole derivatives (10a-f), the indomethacin analogs were prepared via the Fisher indole synthesis reaction of propiophenone with appropriately substituted phenylhydrazine hydrochloride. This is followed by the insertion of the appropriate benzyl or

This study was designed to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of bamboo stems using in vitro and in vivo experimental liver damage models. Ethyl acetate fraction of 80% ethanol extract of Phyllostachys nigra stem (PN3) containing polyphenols had a higher NQO1-ARE reporter gene

BACKGROUND Expression of the key iron regulatory hormone hepcidin is increased by some stimuli (iron loading, inflammation) but decreased by others (increased erythropoiesis, iron deficiency). We investigated the response of hepcidin to increased erythropoiesis and iron deficiency in the presence of

The present study was aimed at determining whether hepcidin, a recently identified peptide involved in iron metabolism, plays a role in conditions associated with both iron overload and iron deficiency. Hepcidin mRNA levels were assessed in two models of anemia, acute hemolysis provoked by

Anemia is associated commonly with acute and chronic inflammation, but the mechanisms of their interaction are not clear. We investigated whether microRNA 122 (MIR122), which is generated in the liver and is secreted into the blood, is involved in the development of anemia associated with
