15-Lipoxygenase (15-LOX) belongs to the family of nonheme iron containing enzymes that catalyzes the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to generate eicosanoids that play an important role in signaling pathways. The role of 15-LOX has been demonstrated in atherosclerosis as well as
Oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence and inflammation are important biological events in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Our recent studies have found that pyrroloquinoline quinine (PQQ) has protective effects against HG-induced oxidative stress damage and apoptosis in HK-2 cells. Nevertheless,
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protects the lung from sepsis-induced injury through activating Nrf2-regulated multiple phase 2 detoxification genes, including NAD(P)H: quinine oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO1). Based on the positive effect of BACKGROUND
As some of the many patients who receive antimalarials for the treatment of noninfective inflammatory diseases (lupus erythematosus, collagen vascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and others) are also immunosuppressed because of their disease and/or treatments, and may have concomitant
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by muscle disorders. We conducted this study to detect whether NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway inhibit inflammatory infiltration by macrophage in experimental autoimmune myositis (EAM) rat Quinine has been increasingly utilized as a placebo in cystic fibrosis (CF) clinical trials, including those leading to FDA approval of inhaled tobramycin, recent studies of anti-inflammatory aerosols such as glutathione, and clinical testing of hypertonic saline aerosols to augment mucous
Groups of female albino mice were photosensitized and photochallenged to quinine using protocols for either systemic or epicutaneous administration. Compared with control groups, statistically significant inflammatory reactions, measured as wet weight increase in ear tissue, could be obtained both
OBJECTIVE
To compare the safety and efficacy of quinine given by the rectal route with quinine given by the intramuscular route in children with moderately severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
METHODS
Randomised, open, clinical trial.
METHODS
Health centre in Burkina Faso.
METHODS
898 children with
BACKGROUND
Cerebral malaria carries an unacceptable case fatality rate in children despite timely and adequate chemotherapy. To improve the survival rate, adjunctive therapies previously tested mainly focused on the modulation of the inflammatory response, without definitive effect in humans. In
BACKGROUND
Data on efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) to treat Plasmodium falciparum during pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa is scarce. A recent open label, randomized controlled trial in Mbarara, Uganda demonstrated that artemether-lumefantrine (AL) is not inferior to quinine to
Various types of neuropsychiatric manifestations are described in P. falciparum malaria of which peripheral neuropathy has been described mainly from India. We are reporting such a case who presented with seven days history of fever and weakness of two days duration. On investigations it turned out
Tribulus terrestris (T. terrestris) has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including inflammation, edema and hypertension. The aqueous and ethanol extracts of T. terrestris contain alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, quinines and phenolic compounds.
PH46A is a single enantiomer and a member of the 1,2-indane dimer family. It has two contiguous stereogenic centers with S,S configurations, one of which being a quaternary center, which has been developed as a clinical candidate for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. The
Chloroquine, quinine, procaine, quinidine and clomipramine behave as prostaglandin (PG) antagonists in a rat mesenteric vascular bed preparation. The ID50 concentrations were within the range of therapeutically effective human plasma levels in each case. Antagonism to PGE2 was studied in detail and
