Methods: The selected lead molecules were dimerised through chemical processes (reflux condensation) and characterised in terms of structural properties using infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, electron impact mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis techniques. The molecules were evaluated pharmacologically for acute toxicity and anti-inflammatory (carrageenan- induced paw oedema test), analgesic (acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice), and antipyretic (Brewer’s yeast-induced pyrexia test in mice) activities against control (normal saline) and relevant reference standard drugs. Docking analyses were also performed to assess possible protein–ligand interactions. Results: The test compounds were non-toxic at doses of 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg body weight, ip.

  • Emit®Tox™ Salicylic Acid Assay
    3 METHODOLOGY The Emit® tox™ Salicylic Acid Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay technique used for the quantitative analysis of salicylic acid in human serum or plasma.7 In the performance of the Emit® tox™ Salicylic Acid Assay, serum or plasma is mixed with Reagent 1, which contains antibodies to salicylic acid and the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Subsequently, Reagent 2, which contains salicylic acid ™ labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), is added. Salicylic acid in Emit tox Salicylic Acid Assay the sample and salicylic acid-labeled G6PDH compete for antibody binding sites. Enzyme activity ® decreases upon binding to the antibody, so the salicylic acid concentration in the sample can be measured in terms of enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts oxidized NAD to NADH, resulting May 2012 7S052.2D_C in an absorbance change that is measured spectrophotometrically. Endogenous G6PDH does not interfere because the coenzyme functions only with the bacterial (Leuconostoc mesenteroides) enzyme employed in the assay.

  • 09 Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)
    Part I Anaesthesia Refresher Course – 2017 09 University of Cape Town Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Dr Ernest Welch Private Practice Honorary lecturer- Wits University Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a group of unrelated chemical compounds that have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The similarity in therapeutic actions and side effects is due to common mechanisms of action and as a result they can be studied as a single class of drugs. The understanding of the NSAIDs, their effects and controversies is dependent on knowledge of the COX (cyclo-oxygenase) enzyme system. Mechanism of action Basic physiology of the COX pathway: 1. Fatty acid metabolism results in the production of prostaglandins (PG) via the COX pathway. 2. PGs mediate: inflammation, pain, pyrexia, cell mitosis and neuromuscular function. 3. All NSAIDs inhibit cyclo-oxygenase (COX). Formation of prostaglandin Arachidonic acid (AA) is a phospholipid fatty acid found in cell membranes that is released by a variety of stimuli particularly membrane damage. Cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes convert Arachidonic acid (AA) to lipid mediator’s PG and leukotrienes (also known as the eicosanoids) The two COX isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2) catalyse AA to PG and thromboxane (TxA) Initially COX converts AA to prostaglandin G2 (PGG2), and then converts PGG2 to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) PGH2 is converted to 5 active forms of PG prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) prostacyclin (PGI2) thromboxane A2 (TxA2) These 5 prostanoids act as secondary messengers mainly on G protein-coupled receptors.

  • A Review of Toxicity from Topical Salicylic Acid Preparations
    A review of toxicity from topical salicylic acid preparations RamanK.Madan,MD,a,b and Jacob Levitt, MDb New York, New York Topical salicylic acid is often used in dermatologic conditions because of its keratolytic, bacteriostatic, fungicidal, and photoprotective properties. The bioavailability of salicylic acid differs depending on the vehicle used and pH of transcellular fluids. Although rare, salicylic acid toxicity (salicylism) can occur from topical application. Physicians should be mindful of the potential for salicylism or even death from topically applied salicylic acid. ( J Am Acad Dermatol 2014;70:788-92.)
