naphthalene derivative/inflammation

In the present study, some naphthalene derivatives have been synthesized by incorporating azetidinyl and thiazolidinyl moieties at its alpha- or beta-positions such as alpha-(3-chloro-2-oxo-4-substituted)aryl-1-azetidinyl)naphthalenes 6-10,

alpha-Acetylamino naphthalene (1) was reacted with different aromatic aldehydes and with primary or secondary amines to give alpha-aminonaphthylsubstitutedaryl chalkones (2-5) and alpha-(substituted aminoethyl)-amidonaphthalenes (14-25), respectively. These substituted chalkones were treated with

BACKGROUND Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) Rafarin (Nepenthaceae) is a carnivorous plant used as a folk medicine in the treatment of jaundice, hepatitis, gastric ulcers, ureteral stones, diarrhea, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Neither the phytochemical content nor biological activities of N.

As a part of ongoing studies in developing new potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, a series of novel 6-methoxy naphthalene derivatives was efficiently synthesized and characterized by spectral and elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their

Evaluation of the topical anti-inflammatory activity of chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of RUMEX NEPALENSIS roots in a TPA-induced acute inflammation mouse model demonstrated a significant reduction in ear edema. The extracts were further tested on purified enzymes for COX-1 and COX-2

A new series of potent and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors have been prepared. Some of these compounds show good oral anti-inflammatory activity in rats.

In order to understand the chemical relationship between a traditional hexa-herbal Chinese medicine formula and botanical drugs it is derived from, an analytical platform comprising liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry and data mining was developed to separate and

Acute organ injury observed during sepsis, caused by an uncontrolled release of inflammatory mediators, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is quite fatal. The development of efficient methods for early diagnosis of sepsis and LPS-induced acute organ injury in living systems is of great biomedical

Multigene families such as chemokines arose as a result of gene duplication events, followed by mutations and selection. GRO chemokines are three duplicated CXCL genes, comprising of CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL3 proteins. Comparative structural analysis of the two closely related paralog chemokines CXCL2

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1,4-DHNA) is a bacterial-derived metabolite that binds the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in the gut. The structure-dependent AhR activity of hydroxyl/carboxy-substituted naphthoic acids (NAs) was determined in young adult

The Paraguayan crude drug "tayï pytá" is used to treat cancer, wounds and inflammation. It consist of the bark and trunkwood of Tabebuia heptaphylla (Bignoniaceae). A phytochemical study of the crude drug gave, in addition to previously described naphthoquinones and the known lignans cycloolivil and

Cipura paludosa (Iridaceae) is a plant that is distributed in the north region of Brazil. Its bulbs are used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and pain. Four naphthalene derivatives have been isolated from the bulbs of this plant. Three of them have been identified as the known naphthalene

Juglans regia L. (walnut) green husks are an important fraction of waste resulting from the walnut production, thus representing an interesting natural matrix to explore as a source of bioactive compounds. In this work, the hydroethanolic extract of walnut green husks was studied considering the

Naproxen was studied by classical thermoanalytical methods, namely sublimation calorimetry, solution calorimetry and the solubility method. Temperature dependence of a saturated vapor pressure was obtained and the sublimation enthalpy, deltaHsub(0) and entropy, deltaSsub(0) and their relative
