pentas lanceolata/edema

The synthesis of a series of pentadienoic and hexadienoic acid derivatives is reported. These compounds were tested as inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase (5 LO) and cyclooxygenase (CO) in vitro and as inhibitors of arachidonic acid (AA) induced ear edema in mice in vivo. Their potency is compared with

Curcumin, derived from the rhizome Curcuma longa, has been scientifically proven to possess anti-inflammatory activity but is of limited clinical and veterinary use owing to its low bioavailability and poor solubility. Hence, analogs of curcuminoids with improved biological properties have

Present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effect of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucopyranose (PGG) against transient global ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced brain injury in rats. Sixty minutes of global ischemia, followed by 24h of reperfusion caused significant alterations in
