cubebin/edema

Cubebin, a dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan isolated from the crude hexane extract of the leaves of Zanthoxyllum naranjillo, showed a significant anti-inflammatory activity by using the paw edema induced by carrageenin in rats, but did not provide a significant reduction in the cell migration for the

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of three dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans, (-)-hinokinin (2), (-)-6,6'-dinitrohinokinin (3), and (-)-6,6'-diaminohinokinin (4), obtained by partial synthesis from (-)-cubebin (1), were investigated using different animal models. It was observed that compounds

The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the acetylated (2), methylated (3) and aminated (4) derivatives of cubebin (1), obtained by its reaction with acetic anhydride, methyl iodide and dimethylethylamine chloride, respectively, were investigated, using different animal models. The

The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the benzylated cubebin derivative, obtained by reaction of (-)-cubebin with benzyl bromide, were investigated using different animal models. The (-)-o-benzyl cubebin showed a low anti-inflammatory effect (16.2%) in relation to cubebin (57%) and

(-)-Cubebin (CUB), isolated from seeds of Piper cubeba, was used as starting material to obtain the derivatives (-)-hinokinin (HK) and (-)-O-benzyl cubebin (OBZ). Using paw edema as the experimental model and different chemical mediators (prostaglandin and dextran), it was observed that both
