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.

In-flammation is the body’s reaction to foreign substances that enter the body with signs of redness, heat, swelling, pain, and impaired organ functions. Curcuma rhizome including medicinal plants that have properties relieve the pain and inflammation of the skin. The purpose of this research was to examine the anti-iflammation effect of Curcuma zedoaria (Berg) Roscoe Rhizome infusion on carrageenan induced paw edema in rats. This research used experimental method with completely randomized design. Twenty five healthy Wistar male rats, 2-3 months old and 150-250 g divided into five groups and each group consist of 5 rats. Rats in group I that served as negative control were given 2.5 mL/200gbw of aquadest. Rats in group II as positive control were given sodium diclofenac with dose of 6.75 mg/kgbw. Group III, IV, and V were given Curcuma zedoaria (Berg) Roscoe Rhizome infusion with dose of 0.625, 1.250 and 2.500 g/kgbw, respectively. Treatments were given per oral 1 hour before injection of 0.1 ml carrageenan 1% subplantar. Rat paw edema volume was measured before and after carrageenan injection. The measurement was done every 0.5 hour for 6 hours observation. Area Under the Curve (AUC) that is calculated from paw edema volume data, was use to calculate percentage of anti-inflammatory effect. Data were analyzed with one way Anova and Least Signifi cant Difference with confi dence level 95%. Infusion of Curcuma zedoaria Rhizome with doses of 0,625, 1,250, and 2,500 g/kgbw had anti-inflammatory effect in Wistar male rats which were induced by Carrageenan 1%. Percentage of anti-inflammation effect (44,16+5,11)%, (48,70+7,05)%, (59,09+9,61)% respectively and the effects were equivalent with positive control.Key words: Anti-inflammation, Curcuma zedoaria (Berg) Roscoe, infusion, Carrageenan.

Brenania brieyi (Rubiaceae) is widely used in traditional Congolese medicine in the treatment of many pathologies that are manifested by inflammation, pain and fever. The objective of this study was to study the acute toxicity as well as to evaluate the antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous and hydro-ethanolic extracts of Brenania brieyibark on models of pyrexia, algesia and inflammation induced in rodents. The aqueous extract of Brenania brieyidoes not cause any mortality up to the dose of 4000 mg/kg, but promotes a slight increase in body weight. From 2000 mg/kg, the signs of toxicity observed were the significant decrease in mobility as well as the loss of alertness. At doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg, aqueous and hydro-ethanolic Brenania brieyiextracts showed a very significant anti-inflammatory effect (***p< 0.001) on edemas induced by carrageenin (1%), formaldehyde (2.5%) and histamine (1 mg/mL), greater than that of diclofenac at 10 mg/kg. At 200 mg/kg, both extracts showed a very significant analgesic effect (***p< 0.001), greater than that of paracetamol 100 mg/kg against pain induced by acetic acid 0.6% and formaldehyde 2.5%. Brenania brieyiwas slightly effective in the tail flick test. Brewer's yeast-induced hyperthermia was reduced by both extracts. However, the hydro-ethanolic extract proves to be more effective than the aqueous extract in all the tests carried out. These pharmacological effects would be related to the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, anthraquinones, oses and saponosides.

Aim & Objective.Artemisia dracunculusL. (Tarragon) species have been used as a traditional medicine. The present study was designed to evaluate the nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects ofA. dracunculusL. leaf aqueous extract on fructose drinking water (FDW) in male rats.Materials & Methods. Forty-eight Wistar-albino male rats weighing 200–250 g were divided into control (C), control extract (CE), FDW, and FDWE groups (n=12). Group C did not receive any agents; Group CE did 100 mg/kgA. dracunculusL. aqueous extract on a daily basis for duration of four weeks. FDW Group received fructose drinking water (10%, weight/volume) but did not receive any agents during trial period. FDWE group received 100 mg/kgA. dracunculusL. aqueous extract during trial period. At the end of experiment, a biphasic pain response was induced following interplanetary injection of formalin (50 µL, 1%). Obtained data were analyzed using SPSS software version 17 and using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. Results were expressed as mean ± SE. Statistical differences were considered significant atP<0.05.Results. Our findings revealed that acute and chronic pain scores in FDW group are significantly higher than other ones andA. dracunculusL. aqueous extract causes significant decreasing of this parameter in FDWE group (P<0.001). Moreover, IL6 and TNF values in this group were significantly decreased compared to FDW group (P<0.05).Conclusion. Results in the present study show that FDW causes the pain response score to increase and cause proinflammatory cytokines in rat model butA. dracunculusL. leaf aqueous extract improves values of these parameters.

Matricaria chamomilla (MC) was shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids are major groups of MC immunomodulators. The anti-inflammatory effects of apigenin as an MC flavonoid has already been demonstrated. In this study, we aimed to report the amount of this compound by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and measuring the total phenol content (TPC) in both the MC aqueous and alcoholic extracts. We also investigated the MC aqueous and ethanolic extracts effect on BALB/c separated macrophages and lymphocytes cell viability and macrophage nitric oxide production. Interferon-γ and interleukin-10 secretion were also measured in lymphocytes. We found that the amount of apigenin was 0.078 and 0.25 mg/g per each of dry aqueous and alcoholic extracts, respectively. Also, the total phenol content was 2.99% in aqueous and 3.95% in alcoholic extracts. BALB/c separated macrophages cell viability significantly increased when treated with the MC aqueous extract but decreased when treated by the MC alcoholic extract in the presence of lipopolysaccharide. Also, the amount of nitric oxide production by macrophages and BALB/c separated lymphocytes cell viability in treatment with aqueous and alcoholic extracts significantly decreased. Interferon-γ increased, and interleukin-10 decreased in lymphocytes treated with the MC aqueous extract, which may suggest Th1 polarization. There was no significant change in the interferon-γ level in lymphocytes when treated with the MC alcoholic extract, but the level of IL-10 increased in these cells. Altogether, besides the anti-inflammatory effect of MC extracts, we found MC aqueous extract effects as disrupting Th1/Th2 balance to Th1 upregulation. Overall, the anti-inflammatory effect of the MC alcoholic extract was higher than the MC aqueous extract.
