Study of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of dry extract from sakhalin willow shoots

One of the important treatment landscape widely used for the various disease’s management is phytotherapy, or treatment with herbal medicines. Phytotherapy is used as an independent type of treatment in most cases, and in combination with other drugs as additional treatment. The pain and inflammation control continue as long as there is humanity itself. With old experience of traditional medicine know that Salicaceae have a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The pharmacological study of the dry extract from Sakhalin willow shoots – the study of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in different pharmacological models – was the aim of this work. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the standardized dry extract from Sakhalin willow shoots (DESWS) was experimentally researched. The study of pharmacological activities of DESWS was carried out at the Educational and Scientific Institute of Applied Pharmacy of the National University of Pharmacy (Kharkov). The effect of DESWS on the course of the inflammatory process was studied in a model of carrageenan edema. Analgesic activity was studied in a model of thermal irritation in white male rats. The study of anti-inflammatory activity in rats on a model of carrageenan edema showed that an effective dose of the studied extract was 30 mg/kg. The greatest reduction in paw edema in rats on the model of carrageenan edema in the first hour of the experiment was observed in the group of animals treated with DESWS at a dose of 30 mg/kg. The anti-inflammatory activity of DESWS was 53.74%, but it was slightly inferior than in the reference drug Diclofenac. It was found that DESWS also shows pronounced analgesic properties at a dose of 30 mg/kg during the first and second hours of the experiment in the model of the limb’s thermal irritation «Hot Plate» in rats. After 120 minutes of experiment the studied activity didn’t change significantly and remained at the level 62.6%. The analgesic effect of DESWS was inferior to antinociceptive activity of the reference drug Metamizole sodium and superior to the studied activity of the reference drug Aspirin. Thus, the dry extract from the Sakhalin willow shoots can affect both pain and inflammation, and it is a potential remedy for further pharmacological research.

Analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of 5,7-diacyl-3-H(alkіl)-6- aryl-5H-[1,2,4]triazol[3,4-b][1,3,4]tіadiazin derivaties

The search for new analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, exceeding by efficacy and/or safety the existing<br />analogues is very important and relevant. The nitrogenous heterocycles are promising in this respect, in particular,<br />the compounds containing an imidazole triazol and tіadiazin moiety. The aim of the current study was to investigate<br />the antiexudative and antinociceptive activity of new derivatives of 5,7-diacyl-3-H(alkyl)-6-aryl-5H[1,2,4]triazol[3,4-b]<br />[1,3,4]thiadiazine.<br />The antinociceptive and antiexudative activity studies were carried out on the white nonlinear mice. The<br />experimental evaluation of specific activity was carried out on the models “Hot plate”, acetic acid induced writhing<br />(antinociceptive action) and carrageenan edema (antiexudative action). The substance was used in a single oral rout<br />administration in a dose of 25 mg/kg. Ketorolac was used as a reference product in the dose of 25 mg/kg (models<br />“Hot plate”, acetic acid induced writhing). Diclofenac was used as a reference product in the dose of 25 mg/kg on<br />the model carrageenan edema. The experimental study showed the antinociceptive and antiexudative effects of the<br />derivatives. The antinociceptive activity of 5,7-diacyl-3-H(alkіl)-6-aryl-5H[1,2,4]triazol[3,4-b][1,3,4]tіadiazin derivaties<br />related to the modification structure in the para position of benzene ring. The antiexudative activity is associated with<br />acetyl groups thiadiazine ring. The most promising compound IFT_247 showed a significant antinociceptive effect,<br />which is comparable to an active comparator ketorolac: “Hot plate” +232.46 % and +112.71 %; acetic acid induced<br />writhing -66.67 % and -61.02 %, respectively.
