KAVA ( Piper methysticum ) - A REVIEW The Kava plant (Piper methysticum) is a robust, well-branching and erect perennial shrub belonging to the pepper family (Piperaceae). The botanical origin remains unknown, although it is likely that early Polynesian explorers brought the plant with them from island to island. Numerous varieties of Kava exist, and today it is widely cultivated in several Pacific Island countries both for local use as well as the rapidly growing demand for pharmaceutical preparations. The dried rhizomes (roots) are normally used. The first description to the western world of the ceremonial use of an intoxicating beverage prepared from Kava was made by Captain James Cook following his Pacific voyage in 1768. The drink, prepared as an infusion in an elaborate manner after first chewing the root, is consumed on formal occasions or meetings of village elders and chiefs, as well as in reconciling with enemies and on a more social basis. It remains an important social custom in many Pacific Island countries today. Most of the islands of the Pacific possessed Kava prior to European contact, particularly those encompassed by Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. After drinking the Kava beverage a pleasantly relaxed and sociable state develops, after which a deep and restful sleep occurs. -
Effect of Intranasal Ketamine Vs Fentanyl on Pain

ABSTRACT 25 26 Introduction: Inadequate pain control in the emergency department, particularly in the pediatric 27 population, is a major health concern. The intranasal route of medication administration is gaining 28 popularity secondary to its rapid onset of action, minimal discomfort for the patient and relative 29 simplicity. When pediatric patients present with moderate to severe pain from traumatic injuries, 30 opioids are currently the most frequently used class of analgesia, but they may not always be the best 31 option for numerous reasons. Sub-dissociative dosing of ketamine has been shown to be an effective 32 alternative to opioids in providing adequate pain relief. 33 34 Objectives: The objectives of this study are to 1) determine if intranasal ketamine is non-inferior to 35 intranasal fentanyl in reduction of pain in children presenting with extremity injuries and 2) define and 36 compare the level of sedation and respiratory side effect profile associated with intranasal ketamine and 37 fentanyl. -

However, these drugs produce a plethora of unwanted adverse effects including respiratory depression, constipation, immune suppression and with prolonged treatment, tolerance, dependence and abuse liability. Studies in β-arrestin 2 gene knockout (βarr2( / )) animals indicate that morphine analgesia is potentiated − − while side effects are reduced, suggesting that drugs biased away from arrestin may manifest with a reduced-side-effect profile. However, there is controversy in this area with improvement of morphine-induced constipation and reduced respiratory effects in βarr2( / ) mice. Moreover, − − studies performed with mice genetically engineered with G-protein-biased mu receptors suggested increased sensitivity of these animals to both analgesic actions and side effects of opioid drugs. -

Gagelein*, D. Dahlem, H.C. Englert** and H.J. Lang** Max-Planck-Institutfir Biophysik, Kennedyallee 70, D-600 Frankfurt/Main 70, FRG Received 17 May 1990 The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, flufenamic acid, mefenamic acid and niflumic acid, block Ca2+-activated non-selective cation channels in inside-out patches from the basolateral membrane of rat exocrine pancreatic cells. Half-maximal inhibition was about 10 PM for flufenamic acid and mefenamic acid, whereas niflumic acid was less potent (IC,, about 50 PM). Indomethacin, aspirin, diltiazem and ibuprofen (100 /IM) had not effect. It is concluded that the inhibitory effect of flufenamate, mefenamate and niflumate is dependent on the specific structure, consisting of two phenyl rings linked by an amino bridge.

Abstract A series of fenamate pyridyl or quinolinyl analogues of 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ones 5a-d and 6a-r, and 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones 5e-g and 6s-v, respectively, have been synthesized and evaluated for their analgesic (hot-plate) , antiinflammatory (carrageenin induced rat's paw edema) and ulcerogenic effects as well as plasma prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level. The highest analgesic activity was achieved with compound 5a (0.5 ,0.6 ,0.7 mrnolkg b.wt.) in respect with mefenamic acid (0.4 mmollkg b.wt.). Compounds 6h, 61 and 5g showed 93, 88 and 84% inhibition, respectively on the carrageenan-induced rat's paw edema at dose level of O.lrnrnol/kg b.wt, compared with 58% inhibition of mefenamic acid (0.2mmoll kg b.wt.). Moreover, the highest inhibitory activity on plasma PGE2 level was displayed also with 6h, 61 and 5g (71, 70,68.5% respectively, 0.lmmolkg b.wt.) compared with indomethacin (60%, 0.01 mmolkg b.wt.) as a reference drug. -
