Schinus is a genus of the Anacardiaceae family and contains Schinus terebinthifolius, the Brazilian pepper tree that is widely used in folk medicine. We investigate the anti-allergic activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of S. terebinthifolius Raddi (ST fraction). HPLC analysis reveled that gallic
A number of clinically useful drugs were tested for their ability to inhibit the inflammatory edema induced by 1,8-cineole (cineole), a terpenoid oxide, in the hindpaw of rats. Paw edema was measured by plethysmography following subplantar injection of cineole (20 μl/paw). The edema inducing effect
BACKGROUND
Bee venom (BV), a type of toxin extracted from honeybees (Apis mellifera), has been empirically and widely used to treat inflammatory diseases throughout Asia. Essential BV (eBV) was developed by removing phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and histamine to lower occurrence of allergic reaction. This
Azelastine is a phthalazinone derivative with a wide spectrum of pharmacologically relevant activities. Since PAF-acether has been considered to be a potent mediator of asthma, azelastine was assayed for its ability to counteract PAF-acether-induced platelet aggregation, paw edema development and
Melittin (MLT) (10 micrograms/paw) and D49 (0.4 micrograms/paw) were injected into the hind paw of male CD-1 mice and elicited 70-80% of maximal paw edema responses at 60 and 30 min after injection, respectively. D49 paw edema was significantly inhibited by anti-histamine/serotonin agents, a PAF
Recent reports have indicated the effectiveness of furosemide in inhibiting responses to inhaled allergen and in treating allergic conjunctivitis. In the present study furosemide was tested for its antiallergic potential using compound 48/80 induced paw edema and in vitro mast cell degranulation.
In order to develop novel compounds for topical use possessing antiallergic as well as antiinflammatory activities, a series of o-aminophenol derivatives bearing H1-antihistaminic structures were synthesized and their effects were investigated on lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates,
BACKGROUND
A Korean herbal medicine, KOTMIN13, composed of Inula japonica Thunberg, Trichosanthes kirilowii Maximowicz var. japonica kitamura, Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, and Allium macrostemon Bge, has been used for anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic treatment in oriental clinics, but its activity
This study was carried out to determine the effects of the 70% ethanolic extract from the anomalous fruits of Gleditsia sinensis LAM. (AFGS) on experimental allergic reactions and inflammation. AFGS (200, 500, 1000 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently inhibited the systemic anaphylactic shock induced by
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to investigate the antiallergic effect of an aqueous leaf extract of Pistia stratiotes (ALPS) in a murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic conjunctivitis (AC).
METHODS
Prior to topical challenge (instillation of 1.5 mg OVA in 10 μL phosphate buffered saline into their
Allium cepa (Family Liliaceae) is a reputed Indian medicinal herb that is prescribed as an effective remedy for several ailments in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate its efficacy against various events responsible for Type I allergic reactions. A herbal fraction
The antiallergic activity profile of RHC 3414 (7-phenylpyrido (3', 2': 4, 5)-thieno (3.2-d)-1, 2, 3-triazine-4(3H)-one) has been compared with that of disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) in several in vitro and in vivo models of anaphylaxis and inflammation. RHC 3414 was approximately 50 times more potent
The effects of AL-3264, which exhibits a 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibiting property by blocking histamine H1-receptors and inhibition of histamine release, were examined on leukotriene (LT) production and LT-mediated responses. AL-3264 (1-30 microM) inhibited the A23,187-induced LT production from
A new chemical compound, 11-oxo-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline-2-carboxylic acid (Sm 857), known to have antiallergic activity was investigated with respect to its antiinflammatory effect. Sm 857 did not inhibit ultraviolet-induced erythema in guinea pigs, intradermal increased vascular permeability
The IgE mediated reactions such as 48 hr homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and active anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in rats were inhibited in a dose dependent manner by treatment with 7-acetyl-5-oxo-5H-[1]benzopyranol[2,3-b] pyridine (Y-9000) and disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) given
