phenylethylamine/inflammation

A potential problem with chiral derivatization is the possibility of stereochemical conversion during the derivatization reaction. This possibility has been examined using the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen, ketoprofen, etodolac and flurbiprofen. To avoid possible interference from

The enantiomers of 2-phenylpropionic acid, 2-(2-naphthyl)propionic acid, 2-(4-biphenyl)propionic acid and six anti-inflammatory congeners were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography via their diastereoisomeric derivatives with (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine. In agreement with a general

Biogenic amines (BA) are a broad group of biologically active substances, the presence of which in the human body can provide important diagnostic information for many various pathologies, including chronic inflammation. In this work, a capillary electrophoresis (CE) hyphenated with tandem mass

Many lipophilic amine compounds are rapidly extracted from the blood on passage through the pulmonary circulation. The extent of their extraction in normal lungs depends on their physical-chemical properties, which affect their degree of ionization, lipophilicity, and propensity for interacting with

The aphorism was to develop new chemical entities as potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic agents. The Leuckart synthetic pathway was utilized in development of novel series of 2-(substituted phenoxy)-N-(1-phenylethyl)acetamide derivatives. The compounds containing

Preparation of some 4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenylacetamides and 4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenylethylamines starting from 4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenylacetic acid is reported. The new compounds were tested as analgesic-antiinflammatory agents. Data from pharmacological screening indicate

We evaluated the potential utility of a group of indicators, each of which targets a particular tissue property, as indicators in the multiple-indicator dilution method to detect and to identify abnormalities in lung tissue properties resulting from lung injury models. We measured the pulmonary

Local transcutaneous delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs avoids gastrointestinal side effects and concentrates drugs in the intended tissues. An extraction and HPLC method was developed for ketoprofen in skin, fascia and muscle. Tissue samples were homogenized in NaHCO3. After

Human vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is an endothelial copper-dependent amine oxidase involved in the recruitment and extravasation of leukocytes at sites of inflammation. VAP-1 is an important therapeutic target for several pathological conditions. We expressed soluble VAP-1 in HEK293 EBNA1

Diclofenac (DCF) is a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which also act as a mitochondrial toxin. As it is known that selective mitochondrial complex I inhibition combined with mild oxidative stress causes striatal dopaminergic dysfunction, we tested whether DCF also compromise

Histamine-N-methyltransferase, a major histamine-degrading enzyme in the skin, was purified from guinea pig skin about 150-fold. The enzymological characteristics including pH optimum, Km values for substrates, and molecular weight were almost consistent with those reported in the brain. Regulatory

BACKGROUND Desmodium gangeticum (L.) DC. and Desmodium adscendens (Sw.) DC. are two important and well explored species of genus Desmodium (Fabaceae (alt. Leguminosae) subfamily: Faboideae). Desmodium gangeticum is used as a tonic, febrifuge, digestive, anticatarrhal, antiemitic, in inflammatory

Psychostimulants are a diverse range of substances that encompass cocaine and the phenylethylamines, the latter including the amphetamines, cathinones and some 'novel psychoactive substances'. This paper examines the range of pathophysiological processes, clinical presentations and treatment options

BACKGROUND Blau theorized that migraine triggers are exposures that in higher amounts would damage the brain. The recent discovery that the TRPA1 ion channel transduces oxidative stress and triggers neurogenic inflammation suggests that oxidative stress may be the common denominator underlying
