benzophenone/inflammation

The prostaglandins (PG) a group of physiologically active lipid compounds having diverse hormone like effects are important mediators of the body's response to pain and inflammation, and are formed from essential fatty acids found in cell membranes. This reaction is catalyzed by cyclooxygenase, a

Fries rearrangement of substituted phenyl benzoates 1a-j to substituted hydroxy benzophenones 2a-j was achieved in excellent yield. Further benzoylation of 2a-j to benzoyloxy benzophenones 4a-n, a benzophenone analogue was achieved in good yield. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated

A series of novel benzophenone derivatives containing a thiazole heterocyclic nucleus were designed by molecular hybridization. Molecular docking studies have demonstrated the inhibitory potential of the designed compounds against cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes. These compounds were synthesized,

The title compound have been synthesized and tested for structure activity relationship for Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) [E.C. 3.1.1.4] enzyme inhibition. The in vitro PLA(2) enzyme inhibitory activity of benzophenone oxime analogue and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity studies using mice are

A series of benzophenone oximes appended with sydnone (3a--h) bearing different substituents on aroyl moiety were synthesized to evaluate in vivo and in vitro for their inhibitory activity against purified phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes from snake venom and human inflammatory pleural and ascites

7-Epiclusianone, a natural prenylated benzophenone, was extracted from Garcinia brasiliensis Planch. & Triana (Clusiaceae), a native plant commonly known as bacupari and used in traditional Brazilian medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. As a result of the wide spectrum of biological

A series of substituted benzophenone analogues has been synthesized and evaluated as orally active anti-inflammatory agents with reduced side effects. The anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic activities of the compounds were compared with naproxen, indomethacin, and phenylbutazone. In

A sequence of substituted benzophenone-N-ethyl piperidine ether analogues has been synthesized and evaluated as orally active anti-inflammatory agents with reduced side effects. The anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic activities of the compounds were compared with naproxen, indomethacin, and

Three new compounds, 4-geranyloxy-2-hydroxy-6-isoprenyloxybenzophenone (1), hypericumone A (2) and hypericumone B (3), were obtained from the aerial parts of Hypericum sampsonii, along with six known compounds (4-9). The structures of these compounds were

The synthesis of hydroxy benzophenones and benzophenone-N-ethyl morpholine ethers and the results of anti-inflammatory activity in vivo are described. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by IR, (1)H-NMR, mass spectroscopy and the elementary analysis. The anti-inflammatory activity of the

Ten new 2(4-hydroxy-3-benzoyl) benzamide-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (10a-j) were synthesized by coupling 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (5) with 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (9a-j). The structures of these compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectra, and also by

Five new benzophenone derivatives, 13,14-didehydoxyisogarcinol (1), garcimultiflorone A (2), garcimultiflorone B (3), 13-hydroxygarcimultiflorone B (4), and garcimultiflorone C (5), have been isolated from the fruits of Garcinia multiflora, together with seven known compounds (6-12). The structures

The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents ketoprofen, tiaprofenic acid, suprofen and tolmetin, together with the anti-hyperlipoproteinemic drug fenofibrate and the anti-arrhythmic amiodarone can be included in the group of benzophenone-derived photosensitizing drugs. They contain a diaryl ketone

BACKGROUND Ketoprofen, suprofen and tiaprofenic acid are arylpropionic anti-inflammatories. Their chemical structures share the same elements as the benzoyl radical and the tiophene ring. We experienced nine cases of ketoprofen photoallergy, seven cases of suprofen photoallergy and three cases of

BACKGROUND To explain observed differences during SPF determination using either an in vivo or in vitro method, we hypothesized on the presence of ingredients having anti-inflammatory properties. RESULTS To research our hypothesis, we studied the 21 UV filters both available on the market and
