dihydrobenzofuran/edema

A series of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-acetic acids and related compounds was prepared as potential antiinflammatory agents. As measured by the carrageenan-induced edema method for the preliminary screening test, introduction of a methyl group alpha to the acetic acid function enhanced the

A series of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-one analogues of the mold metabolite wortmannin, which is a powerful antiinflammatory compound, was synthesized. Most of these compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the carrageenin paw edema and the adjuvant-induced arthritis of the rat and for their

We have synthesized and characterized some oxidative metabolites of S-2474. In this study, we discovered a novel skeleton, the 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivative, which inhibited PGE(2) production at a very low concentration and was effective in the anti-carrageenin footpad edema assay.

A protocol was established to produce bioactive compounds in a callus culture of Ageratina pichinchensis by using 1 mg L-1 NAA with 0.1 mg L-1 KIN. The phytochemical study of the EtOAc extract obtained from the callus biomass, allowed the isolation and characterization of eleven secondary

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane proteins that function as channels facilitating water transport in response to osmotic gradients. These play critical roles in several normal physiological and pathological states and are targets for drug discovery. Selective inhibition of the AQP1 water
