Glycyrrhizin (GL), a triterpene present in the roots and rhizomes of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects. In our previous reports, we demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of GL in the postischemic brain and in kainic acid (KA)-induced
Carbenoxolone, the succinyl ester of glycyrrhetinic acid, is an inhibitor of 11beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase and gap junctional intercellular communication. It is currently used in clinical treatment of ulcer diseases. Systemic administration of carbenoxolone (1-40 mg/kg, intraperitoneally
Glycyrrhizin (Glycyrrhizic Acid), a bioactive triterpenoid saponin found in Glycyrrhiza glabra, has been used for a long time in traditional medicine. Glycyrrhizin possesses a plethora of pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial and anti-ageing potential.
Glycyrrhizin (GL) is a triterpene present in the roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra that has anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective effects. Recently, it was demonstrated that GL produced neuroprotective effects on the postischemic brain as well as on the kainic acid injury
Carbenoxolone (CBX), the succinyl ester of glycyrrhetinic acid, is an inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication. We have tested its possible effects upon two genetic animal models of epilepsy (WAG/Rij rats and lethargic (lh/lh) mice). Systemic administration of CBX was unable to
Carbenoxolone (CBX), the succinyl ester of glycyrrhetinic acid, is an inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication. Systemic administration of CBX was able to decrease the seizure severity score and to increase the latency time of seizure onset in genetically epilepsy prone rats (GEPRs).
High mobility group box protein-1 (HMGB1) has been implicated as a key mediator of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in a range of neurological conditions including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and epilepsy. To date, however, most studies have examined only acute outcomes, and the adult brain.
