: Oleanolic acid can inhibit edema and exhibit obvious inhibitory activity to inflammatory by activating of the pituitary-adrenal cortical system, inhibiting the synthesis or release of PGs, inhibiting endotoxin-mediated release of HMGB1 by endothelial cells or regulating MAPK, PI3K/Akt/NF-κB/ICAM-1/JAK/STAT signaling pathways, etc. In recent years, an increased number of interesting research work has been carried out on the anti-inflammatory activity and mechanisms of OA derivatives, such as acyloxyimino derivative, 3-acetylated derivatives, novel 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles derivatives, acetate, ester derivatives and oximes derivatives. The review summaries and highlights the update advances on the anti-inflammatory activity and mechanism of OA and its derivatives.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Objective: To study the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of 4-benzylpiperidine.<br />Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of 4-benzylpiperidine using in vitro models such as inhibition<br />of albumin denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity.<br />Results: This study revealed the dose-dependent inhibition of protein denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity by 4-benzylpiperidine.<br />Conclusion: In the present study, results indicate that the 4-benzylpiperidine possess anti-inflammatory properties. The drug inhibited the heat<br />induced albumin denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity. It shows dose-dependent significant activity when compared with a standard drug.<br />Hence, this study gives an idea that the 4-benzylpiperidine can be used as a lead compound for designing a potent anti-inflammatory drug which can<br />be used to cure inflammation.<br />Keywords: Anti-inflammatory activity, 4-Benzylpiperidine, Protein denaturation, Proteinase inhibitory activity.</p>

  Objective: In the present study, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) silver nanoparticles (clove AgNP’s) was evaluated.Methods: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique was used to identify the compounds present in the aqueous extract of clove. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis was done to characterize the clove silver AgNP’s. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was performed to evaluate the antioxidant property of nanoparticles (0.05 and 0.25 mg/ml) and aqueous extracts (0.05, 0.1, and 0.25 mg/ml) of clove. The anti-inflammatory property of the clove AgNP’s was determined by inhibition of protein denaturation and downregulation of interleukin-1 beta. In silico molecular docking studies was performed using Schrodinger Maestro software.Results: Eugenol was found to be highest with 16.27%. The AgNP’s exhibited dose-dependent antioxidant property. AgNP’s scavenged 80% of radical at the concentration of 0.25 mg/ml. The scavenging activity of AgNP’s markedly increased when compared to aqueous extract at the same concentration. Inhibition of protein denaturation assay also revealed AgNP’s showing the highest activity (66%) when compared with drug aspirin (55%) and aqueous extract (56%). In the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, AgNP’s showed better inhibition (80%) when compared to aqueous extract (60%). Among 15 compounds, two compounds (eugenol and methyl 14-methylpentadecanoate) showed good glide energy, docking score, and hydrogen-bonded active site interactions with the protein interleukin-1 beta.Conclusion: As AgNP’s were more active than the aqueous extract, it may be considered for pharmacological activity against inflammatory disorders.
