Analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of stereoisomers of carane derivatives in rodent test.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2005, Vol 57, Issue 6
Abstract
Our previously conducted pharmacological investigations led us to discovery of the strong local anesthetic activity of the compound KP-23RS. The following studies revealed that its R- and S-diasteroisomers had different activity in the local anesthetic, anti-aggregating, anti-arrhythmic and spasmolytic tests. Also the influence of KP-23RS and its diastereoisomers on the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) generating system was described. In the present study, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of these compounds were investigated in hind paw edema test, Randall's analgesia test and hot-plate test. Also the spasmolytic activity and the influence on the stomach mucous membrane were examined. All of these compounds had an anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity in hot-plate test and in Randall's test. Moreover, compound KP-23R showed spasmolytic activity. None of the investigated compounds induced damage of the mucous membrane of the rat stomach.

Inhibition of voltage-gated K(+) channels and Ca(2+) channels by diphenidol.
Background: Although diphenidol has long been deployed as an anti-emetic and anti-vertigo drug, its mechanism of action remains unclear. In particular, little is known as to how diphenidol affects neuronal ion channels....
Rabbit erythrocytes release ATP and dilate skeletal muscle arterioles in the presence of reduced oxygen tension.
In skeletal muscle, oxygen (O(2)) delivery to appropriately meet metabolic need requires mechanisms for detection of the magnitude of O(2) demand and the regulation of O(2) delivery. Erythrocytes, when exposed to a decre...
Cytotoxic activity of the selected pyridinium salts against murine leukemia L1210.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between chemical reactivity of 3-substituted pyridinium salts and their cytotoxic properties against murine leukemia L1210. Chemical reactivity of pyridinium sa...
Atorvastatin affects the tissue concentration of hydrogen sulfide in mouse kidneys and other organs.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a crucial co-modulator of cardiovascular, nervous, digestive and excretory systems function. The pleiotropic action of atorvastatin exceeds simple 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA)...
Antiulcerative effect of dexmedetomidine on indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in rats.
A gastroprotective effect occurs when α(2) receptors are innervated. The dextro isomer of medetomidine, dexmedetomidine, is a highly selective α(2)-adrenoreceptor agonist. The aim of this study was to investigate whether...
