Abstract Fungal infections are a growing global health problem. Therefore, our group has designed and characterized a novel cocrystal formulation starting from ketoconazole and para-amino benzoic acid, named KET-PABA aiming to improve the bioavailability, biocompatibility, and efficiency of the parent drug. The cocrystal showed improved physical properties, such as stability in suspension, solubility, as well as antimycotic efficiency as compared to ketoconazole. The current study investigated the local possible side effects induced on BALBc mice skin by the application of KET-PABA cocrystal. KET-PABA proved to be safe, without signs of skin sensitization as shown by the mouse ear sensitization test (MEST), or histopathology. KET-PABA induced a potent anti-inflammatory effect through the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL1α, IL1β, IL6 and TNFα, and other inflammation promoters such as NRF2, compared to the vehicle. KET-PABA had no effect on the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10, or proinflammatory enzyme COX2 and had minimal effects on the activation of the NFκB pathway. Overall, KET-PABA application induced no sensitization, moreover, it induced an anti-inflammatory response. Based on the improved antimycotic effect versus ketoconazole and the anti-inflammatory action, KET-PABA cocrystal has the potential to be an efficient drug in the treatment of cutaneous mycosis.

Low grade inflammation has been recognized of being involved in the pathogenesis of chronic disease pandemic. Individual lifestyle plays a major role in the development of low grade inflammation. Sedentary workers are at risk of low grade inflammation due to the nature of their work. Dietary habit also contributes to inflammatory status in the body. Dietary fiber intake indirectly affects the immune system. It has been hypothesized that fiber has anti-inflammatory effects, both body weight-related and body weight-unrelated This review will focus more on body weight-unrelated anti-inflammatory effect of fiber, especially through fiber’s fermentation metabolites, the short chain fatty acid (SCFA). Its anti-inflammatory effect can be seen by monitoring a biomarker of inflammation in the body, the high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). This review’s objective is to cover the mechanisms and role of dietary fiber intake on serum hsCRP level as a marker of low grade inflammation on sedentary workers.

The Trifolium pratense L. (red clover), which blossoms, leaves and stems can be used as medicines for treatment of burns, skin diseases, diabetes and other diseases. Recently study shown that pratol (7-hydroxy-4-methoxyflavone), an O-methylated flavone in T. pratense has been evaluated to induce melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of pratol has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the effects of pratol on anti-inflammation. We also studied the mechanism of action of pratol in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The cells were treated with various concentration of pratol (25, 50, or 100 μM) and 25 μM ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) was used as control. The results in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells showed that pratol significantly reduced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production without any cytotoxic. In addition, pratol strongly decreased the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooygenase (COX-2). Furthermore, pratol reduced proinflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6. We also found that pratol strongly inhibited activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) by reducing the p65 phosphorylation and protecting inhibitory factor kappa B alpha (IκBα) degradation. The results suggest that, pratol may be used to treat or prevent inflammatory diseases such as dermatitis, arthritis, cardiovascular and cancer.

In the last decade, high cariesprophylactic efficacy of ammonium hexafluorosilicates, including salts with substituted biologically active ammonium cations, has been demonstrated. Among the promising anti-caries agents are recently synthesized 2-, 3-, 4-carboxymethylpyridinium hexafluorosilicates, for whose cations anti-inflammatory activity is expected. The aim of the work is to assess the presence of anti-inflammatory activity in the series of 2-, 3-, 4-carboxymethylpyridinium hexafluorosilicates in the experiment. 2-, 3-, 4-Carboxymethylpyridinium hexafluorosilicates (I–III, respectively) were synthesized according to the previously proposed technique, carrageenan is a commercial preparation, reference drug is a indomethacin. Experiments on the anti-inflammatory activity of hexafluorosilicates were performed on 77 white Wistar male rats weighing 174–190 g using the carrageenan model of inflammation. The inflammatory reaction was reproduced by subplantary administration of 0.1 ml of a 0.2% solution of carrageenan, the studied compounds were administered orally in doses 1/10, 1/20, 1/50 from LD50 for the compound III. It was established that after administration of carrageenan, animals of the control group showed marked paw edema, which gradually increased and was maximal after 24 hours of observation. According to the data obtained, the indices for compounds I-III practically do not differ from those of the control group. This indicates that, despite the results of the PASS forecast and the presence of acetic acid residue, an anti-inflammatory pharmacofor, in compounds I-III, the compounds under study do not have an anti-inflammatory effect in the carrageenan model. 2-, 3-, 4-Carboxymethylpyridinium hexafluorosilicates do not show the expected anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan model of inflammation.

Inflammatory Effect

Local inflammation in H. pylori infection is characterized by infiltration of the gastric mucosa by neutrophils and specific lymphocytes, an increase in the production of immunoregulatory, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. IL-4 is the most important regulatory cytokine that plays a role in a huge number of immune and non-immune functions. IL-8 is a potent angiogenic factor and chemoattractant, its presence in the circulation can have a systemic pro-inflammatory effect on the body. IL-4 and IL-8 in H. pylori infection has been studied insufficiently. The goal is to establish serum levels of IL-4 and IL-8 in patients with chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer. Materials and methods. 95 patients of the gastroenterological department were examined, of them 37 men and 58 women (mean age 59 years): 53 patients diagnosed with chronic active gastritis (CAG, including erosive gastroduodenitis) and 42 patients diagnosed with peptic ulcer (PU). Patients were conditionally divided into 4 subgroups: PU (without confirming the presence in patients with Hp according to generally accepted methods), PU + Hp (patients with the presence of Hp), CAG and CAG + Hp. Results. An increase in serum IL-4 levels (above 10 pg / ml) was observed in only 50.7% of patients, with approximately the same frequency in patients with CAG and PU, and an increase in serum IL-8 levels (above 0.062 ng / ml) - in most patients (90%), and the highest levels of IL8 were detected in patients with PU + Hp. In the first analysis, 31% of patients had elevated levels of IL-8 in the absence of IL-4, while in the second analysis - already 62% of patients (p ≤ 0.01). This indicated a sharp twofold decrease in the production of IL-4 in just a few days between the two analyzes. Conclusion. Considering that an increase in serum levels of IL-8 is found in a larger number of patients than IL-4, which, moreover, ceases to be detected in serum, it can be assumed that the production and anti-inflammatory effect of IL-4 are insufficient in some patients with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Against this background, elevated levels of IL-8 can help maintain inflammation in a significant number of patients, as well as reduce the effectiveness of eradication therapy.

Inflammatory Effect

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis (inflammation of the joints). OA can affect all cartilage throughout the body, including the spine, but mainly attacks the legs from the pelvis, especially the knee to the ankle which affects about 10% of men and 18% of women over 60 years old. Pharmacotherapy, surgery, and complementary therapy are the currently managements of OA. Nigella sativa (NS) is one of the herbal plants which is part of the prophet's medicines in the Islamic world which still used. Thymoquinone (TQ) is one of NS compound, has an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibit the formation of eicosanoids in leukocytes and lipid peroxidation, or inhibit the expression of PF NF-κB subunits and p50 subunits with TNF-a promoters, and reduce levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). TQ also has a chondroprotective effects mechanism by decreases prostaglandin E2 (PGE) mediated by IL-1β and inhibits MMP synthesis in chondrocytes. Through its anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effect, NS is a potential therapeutic agent which beneficial use for OA management without toxicological effects when given.

The main function of the skin is to protect the body from the external environment. However, the skin can undergo inflammatory processes, due to genetic, hormonal, or environmental factors. When the defense system is overloaded, there is an increase in pro-inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which results in skin disorders. Among the substances used to treat these inflammatory processes, many natural substances with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are being studied: nature is yet an abundant source to obtain diverse pharmacological actives. The treatment of skin diseases is usually focused on topical application, as it reduces the risk of systemic side effects and prevents drug degradation by first-pass metabolism. Thus, the properties of drug delivery vehicles can facilitate or inhibit its permeation. Due to the hydrophobic nature of the skin, a promising strategy to improve dermal drug penetration is the use of lipid-based nanoparticles, such as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC). Therefore, in this review, we present NLC as a tool to improve dermal administration of natural substances with anti-inflammatory properties.
