In recent times, a higher incidence of gall bladder carcinoma in the Indo-Gangetic basin has been linked with the consumption of contaminated mustard oil. Consumption of mustard oil contaminated with argemone oil (AO) is well known to cause clinical manifestation referred to as "epidemic dropsy."
A basic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzyme, TFV PL-X (pI 9.2) and two acidic PLA2 enzymes, TFV PL-Ia (pI 4.9) and TFV PL-Ib (pI 4.5) were purified from Trimeresurus flavoviridis venom on CM-Sephadex C-25 and QAE-Sephadex A-25 columns, respectively. The basic enzyme exists as a monomer, whereas the
1. We investigated the effect of a novel vinca alkaloid derivative, vinconate, against brain damage after focal ischemia induced by a middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in rats. 2. Persistent focal ischemia was induced by 6 hr, and vinconate (50 and 100 mg/kg) was given intraperitoneally twice
Forty eight derivatives of berberine-type alkaloids were examined for their inhibition activity against the induction of edema on mouse ear by application of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Berberine had an inhibitory effect against TPA-induced ear edema at a grade corresponding to those
Monocrotaline, a plant alkaloid shown histologically to produce pulmonary endothelial damage and edema, was used in dogs to produce an acute model of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Following intravenous injection there was no change in pulmonary vascular pressures or heart rate; cardiac output fell
This study investigated the mechanism of action of a synthetic tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, MHTP, in an experimental model of acute lung injury (ALI) in two distinct moments: 72 h and 10 days.To realize this study, 2.5 mg/kg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) BACKGROUND
Methanol extracts and alkaloid fractions of different parts of four plant species belonging to Solanaceae family and used in Mexican traditional medicine were investigated for their total phenolic contents, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
METHODS
The total phenolic compounds
Warifteine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the Cissampelos sympodialis Eichl (Menispermaceae). This plant is used in the folk medicine for the treatment of airway respiratory diseases. A murine model of immediate allergic reaction was used to evaluate warifteine treatment in the
Ruta graveolens L. (Rutaceae) are traditionally used for the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and other inflammatory conditions in the traditional medicine of India, were evaluated for their protective effect in acute and chronic models of inflammation. Carrageenan induced rat paw edema and
Pain relief represents a critical unresolved medical need. Consequently, the search for new analgesic agents is intensively studied. Annona crassiflora, a native species of the Brazilian Savanna, represents a potential source for painful treatment. This study aimed to investigate the antinociceptive
