Effect of various antiinflammatory drugs on proton exchange between octanol OH and water after partition equilibrium between octanol and water at pH 7.4 was examined. These drugs accelerated the proton exchange reaction to different extents. The rate constant of the proton exchange induced by the
Oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity (OIN) is a common complication of chemotherapy without effective treatment. In order to clarify the mechanisms of both acute and chronic OIN, we used an ex-vivo mouse sciatic nerve model. Exposure to 25 μM oxaliplatin caused a marked prolongation in the duration of
BACKGROUND
Frankincense oil and water extracts (FOE, FWE) have long been used for external treatment of inflammation and pain. The present study was conducted to identify the active ingredients responsible for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and to determine the underlying
Organophosphate triesters are used worldwide as additives in flame retardants and plasticizer as a replacement of polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Increasing evidence on human exposure to and environmental contamination with organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) requires an adequate toxicity
Despite the therapeutic importance of propranolol and the potential usefulness of propranolol extraction measurements for the assessment of lung disorders, the pulmonary disposition of propranolol remains poorly understood. The extraction, accumulation and distribution of propranolol in lungs of
Dipotassium beta-glycyrrhizinate (GK2) is a saponin originated from "kanzo" plant. We studied such two functions of GK2 as a drug carrier and a penetration enhancer on the eye mucosa. The interactions of GK2 with various drugs were investigated using the 1-octanol/water partition method. GK2
OBJECTIVE
Relevance of the preclinical pharmacodynamic, toxicity and pharmacokinetic parameters predicting the clinical potency of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was evaluated.
METHODS
Data for oral potencies of 24 NSAIDs in rats were collected from the literature and from New Drug
Cx43 has been documented to be involved in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). However, the participation of Cx43-formed hemichannels in IPC and the potential underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study focused on cardiomyocytes' volume regulation during IPC to investigate the role of
In a continuing effort to minimize the systemic adverse effects of potent anti-inflammatory steroids, a series of 16 alpha-alkoxycarbonyl-17-deoxyprednisolone derivatives: methyl (8a), ethyl (8b), isopropyl (8c), and benzyl (8d) 11 beta,21-dihydroxy-3,20-dioxo-1,4-pregnadiene-16 alpha-carboxylate,
Prednisolone derivatives, methyl 20 alpha- and 20 beta-dihydroprednisolonate and methyl 17,20 alpha- and 17,20 beta-acetonidodihydroprednisolonate have been evaluated for their topical anti-inflammatory activity in the croton oil induced ear edema test. The order of anti-inflammatory potency was
