In this study, we isolated from the aerial parts of Baccharis conferta Kunth (i) a new neoclerodane, denominated "bacchofertone"; (ii) four known terpenes: schensianol A, bacchofertin, kingidiol and oleanolic acid; and (iii) two flavonoids: cirsimaritin and hispidulin. All
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Siparuna guianensis Aublet leaves, known as negramina, are used by indigenous and local communities in Brazil and other countries in the Americas to treat pain and inflammatory diseases.
Hydrocotyle umbellata Linn. (Araliaceae) is specie used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Crude extract (E-HU) was prepared from H. umbellata subterraneous parts and fractionated by liquid-liquid partition, resulting hexane fraction (HF-HU), dichloromethane fraction (DF-HU), ethyl acetate
BACKGROUND
Cyclolepis genistoides D. Don (Asteraceae) is an Argentinean endemic shrub, known by the vernacular name "palo azul" or "matorro negro". It is widely used in folk medicine as a diuretic, an antirheumatic, and an antispasmodic agent.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this work was to describe the
Assessment of anti-inflammatory therapies against sulfur-mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, HD)-induced skin injury has mainly relied on qualitative histopathological evaluation. Development of quantifiable inflammatory biomarkers using fast and reliable molecular methods is needed for screening
TAHT (1,3,5-triacryloylhexahydro-s-triazine), a reactive chemical coupling agent, was highly toxic following a single peroral dose of an aqueous suspension (10% w/v) to Wistar rats, or following application of TAHT in dichloromethane (DCM) solution (10% w/v) to covered skin of New Zealand rabbits.
The leaves of Echinodorus grandiflorus (Alismataceae) are traditionally used in Brazil to treat inflammatory conditions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antidematogenic activity of crude aqueous, dichloromethane and hydroethanolic extracts from E. grandiflorus leaves using the
Inflammation is involved in the progression of many disorders, such as tumors, arthritis, gastritis, and atherosclerosis. Thus, the development of new agents targeting inflammation is still challenging. Medicinal plants have been used traditionally to treat various diseases including inflammation. A
