BACKGROUND
There is an urgent need to develop and test novel compounds against malaria infection. Carrageenans, sulphated polysaccharides derived from seaweeds, have been previously shown to inhibit Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. However, they are inflammatory and alter the permeability of the
We studied pronociceptin gene expression following limbic seizures. Northern blot analysis revealed increased pronociceptin mRNA levels in the thalamus (but not in the hippocampus) 3-24 h after kainate administration, with maximal effect (2-fold increase over basal levels) reached at 6 h. No
Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a result of interplay between psychological, immune, neurological and genetic factors, manifested by variety of urological, as well as brain-related symptoms. However, its relation with brain excitability has not been addressed. herefore,
Antiinflammatory (antiexudative, antiproliferative) activity of calcium pectate was revealed by tests on the mice leg carrageenan-induced edema and cotton-ball granuloma models. It was also established that this polysaccharide produced an anesthetic effect comparable with that of indomethacin on the
Chrysanthemum trifurcatum is common to Mediterranean countries and widely-used in traditional medicine. Due to the scarcity of data about the pharmacological properties of C. trifurcatum, this present study was designed to determine the effects of C. trifurcatumethanolic extract (CEE) for its
General pharmacological effects of N2-[(N-acetyl-muramoyl)-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl]-N6-stearoyl-L-ly sine MDP-Lys(L18), muroctasin) were examined and the following results were obtained. 1. Central nervous system: MDP-Lys(L18) had no effect on behavior, spontaneous motor activity, electroshock- and
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic action of diucifon, methyluracil and 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) was studied in comparison with some nonsteroid preparations. In three traditional models of agar, kaolin and carrageenan paw edema and in the models of analgesia (convulsions, induced by
The neurochemical mechanisms involved in post-ictal antinociception remain to be elucidated. Application of electroconvulsive shock (ECS) to rats results in post-ictal antinociception. The objective of this study was to identify endogenous substances that could participate in antinociception during
At physiological and pharmacological doses, adenosine protects tissues against a varieties of injuries: ischemia-reperfusion, convulsions, inflammation.... We tested the hypothesis that the antiinflammatory properties of adenosine occur via a down-regulation of TNF. Agonists of adenosine receptors
Lacosamide is a functionalized amino acid which was initially synthesized as an antiepileptic drug. In addition to its broad anti-seizure activity, lacosamide was shown to display efficacy in animal models for neuropathic pain and is currently in phase III clinical development for the treatment of
Hedychium spicatum (Ham-ex-Smith), known as Shati in Ayurvedic classics, is documented for the treatment of cough, hiccough, fever and asthma. The present study includes the evaluation of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the dried rhizome of H. spicatum for anti-histaminic and ulcer-protective
Digital therapeutics (software as a medical device) and mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer a means to deliver behavioral, psychosocial, disease self-management and music-based interventions to improve therapy outcomes for chronic diseases, including pain and epilepsy. To explore new
There are ongoing efforts to develop pain therapeutics with novel mechanisms of action that avoid common side effects associated with other analgesics. The anticonvulsant neuropeptide galanin is a potent regulator of neuronal excitability and has a well established role in pain modulation, making it
Evidence for a selective role of the delta-opioid agonist [8R-(4bS*,8aalpha,8abeta, 12bbeta)]7,10-Dimethyl-1-methoxy-11-(2-methylpropyl)oxycarbonyl 5,6,7,8,12,12b-hexahydro-(9H)-4,8-methanobenzofuro[3,2-e]pyrrolo[2,3-g]isoquinoline hydrochloride (SB-235863) in blocking hyperalgesia associated with inflammatory and neuropathic pain responses.
The specific involvement of the delta-opioid receptor in the control of nociception was explored by investigating the pharmacological activity in vivo of a selective, orally active, and centrally penetrant delta-opioid agonist.
