anacardium occidentale/necrosis

An 18-year-old man developed skin lesions and anuria following exposure to sap of the marking-nut tree (Semecarpus anacardium). Renal biopsy showed diffuse cortical necrosis. The mechanism of nephrotoxicity of the sap is unknown but may be due to its phenolic constituents.

This work is part of a large program, which seeks to discover new antitumor isobenfuranones designed from anacardic acids. The synthetic strategy for the construction of the title compounds takes into consideration the use of inexpensive anacardic acids (2), the major natural cashew (Anacardium

Anacardic acid, which is abundant in nutshell of Anacardium occidentale, has multiple pharmacological activities. In this study, we examined the therapeutic potential of anacardic acid in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We explored the effects of anacardic acid on collagen-induced arthritis

Agathisflavone is a bioactive compound in Anacardium occidentale. In this study, we investigated inhibition neuroinflammation in BV2 microglia by agathisflavone. Neuroprotective activity of the compound was investigated in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells. Experiments in lipopolysaccharide

Localised bone loss in the form of bone erosions and peri-articular osteopenia constitutes an important criteria for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. In the present study, the effect of Semecarpus anacardium Linn. nut milk extract (SA) on the metabolism of bone turn over has been studied by

Immunomodulatory effects of Semecarpus anacardium LINN. nut milk extract (SA) were investigated in adjuvant induced arthritis by studying the alterations in humoral and cell mediated immune responses and also the anti-inflammatory effects by evaluating the changes in paw edema, tumour necrosis

We have evaluated the effect of POLI-CHI hydrogel based on policaju (POLI) from cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale L.) gum and chitosan (CHI), associated or not with Low level laser therapy (LLLT), in wound healing. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups: POLI-CHI hydrogel (H); LLLT
