RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to assess the antipyretic activity of Siddha herbo-mineral formulation Surangusa Parpam at the dose level of 15mg/kg and 35mg/kg body weight, orally, in brewer yeast induced fever model Wistar rats. Fever was induced by subcutaneous injection of 10ml/kg of 20% w/v aqueous suspension of brewer’s yeast into the nape of the rat's neck. After eighteen hours feverish animals were treated with Surangusa Parpam 15mg/kg and 35mg/kg body weight, orally, and rectal temperatures were evaluated at 0, 1, 2 and 3 hours post-treatment by inserting a well-lubricated bulb of the clinical thermometer. Surangusa Parpam showed a significant decrease in the elevated body temperature of rats that remained sustained throughout the tested time points from 1 to 3 hours in the used model. 35mg/kg body weight dose level showed significant inhibition of elevated body temperature when compared with the standard control. These results indicate that the Antipyretic activity of Surangusa Parpam and in addition to its well-established anti-inflammatory activity possesses significant antihistamine activity that may be beneficial in symptomatic relief when it is used in the therapy of allergic and inflammatory disorders.

RESUMO

We determined the distribution and abundance of Taverniera abyssinica A. Rich in the Shewa floristic region, Ethiopia. We also carried out a mesh-house experiment to know whether T. abyssinica is able to survive and grow in any soil. From the nine potential locations we made exploration, T. abyssinca populations were found only in the two, Lemen and Mojo. The abundance of mature individuals was estimated to be more than 600/hectare. The one-way ANOVA results indicated that soil does not have a significant (p>0.05) effect on seedlings survival rate. However, it was found to have significant (p<0.05) effects on seedlings growth, root nodulation, and root arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization. Seedlings grown on the soil collected from Lemen and Mojo produced significantly (p<0.05) more number of leaves and grew better than those grown on Addis Ababa (where the species was never reported to grow) soil. The root fresh weight of seedlings grown on Addis Ababa soil was found to be significantly (p<0.05) and 38.89% and 54.17% lower than the root fresh weight of seedlings grown on Lemen and Mojo soils respectively. We report that T. abyssinica is N-fixer and arbuscular mycorrhizal. Seedlings grown on the Addis Ababa soil were not colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi while those grown on Lemen and Mojo soils were. Although the estimated abundance of mature T. abyssinica individuals was high, there is continued exploitation of the species and habitat loss is imminent. Therefore, integrated conservation program by way of ex situ conservation, in situ conservation, and cultivation should be implemented. Taverniera abyssinica could be cultivated in areas with leptosol and degraded vertisol soils with slightly acidic to basic pH. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi could play key role in future conservation and cultivation efforts of the species.

RESUMO

Fever is a sign of infection and inflammatory diseases in the body. Persistent high fever will lead to cell degeneration, causing multiple organ dysfunction, and seriously affecting brain nerve and tissue function. Although the fever process is common and ordinary, its pathological mechanism involves multiple signaling pathways, such as nuclear transcription factor κB signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway. A large number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine compound and its active components can reduce serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) and hypothalamic thermoregulatory mediators (PGE

RESUMO

Abstract Some plants of the genus Pulicaria have been used in traditional medicines for treating back pain and inflammation. They possess various bioactivities such as antipyretic, analgesic, and hepatoprotective. This study aimed to investigate the potential analgesic, antipyretic, anti- inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities of Pulicaria crispa (P. crispa) extract (PCE). Analgesic activity was evaluated using the hot plate and acetic acid-induced writhing tests. Antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated using rectal temperature and carrageenan-induced hind paw edema methods, respectively. CCl4-intoxication was used for hepatoprotective activity. Also, liver histopathology was assessed. PCE, at 500 mg/kg, exhibited significant analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. The increased serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and bilirubin of CCl4-exposed rats reflects their liver injury. PCE significantly decreased the elevated liver markers. The hepatoprotective effect of PCE was confirmed, as it successfully reversed the altered levels of total protein, malondialdehyde (MDA), and non-protein sulfhydryls (NP-SH) in the liver tissues of CCl4-exposed rats. Histopathological studies confirmed the hepatoprotective nature of PCE. Pretreatment of rats with PCE reduced the severity of CCl4-induced liver damage. These findings concluded that PCE possesses analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities.

RESUMO

As an effective antipyretic medicine,Indigo Naturalis has a long history of application in the field of Chinese medicine.The content of organics,mainly indigo and indirubin,is about 10%. However,the active ingredients and mechanism of its antipyretic effect have not yet been fully elucidated. In view of this,they were investigated in this study with the rectal temperature change as an indicator and 2,4-dinitrophenol-induced fever rats as subjects. The content of PGE2 and c AMP in the hypothalamus and the serum levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 were determined by ELISA. Moreover,the plasma samples of fever rats were analyzed by metabonomics in combination with UPLC-Q-TOF-MS for the exploration of potential biomarkers and the discussion on the antipyretic mechanism of Indigo Naturalis and its active ingredients. The results showed that the rising trend of rectal temperature in rats was suppressed 0. 5 h after the treatment with Indigo Naturalis,organic matter,indigo or indirubin as compared with the rats of model group( P < 0. 05),among which Indigo Naturalis and organic matter had better antipyretic effect. ELISA results showed that organic matter and indigo can inhibit the expression of PGE2 and c AMP( P<0. 01),while Indigo Naturalis and organic matter were effective in curbing the increase in TNF-α( P<0. 05). A total of 21 endogenous metabolites were identified from the plasma samples of the Indigo Naturalis,organic matter,indigo and indirubin groups,which were mainly involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism.

RESUMO

Indigo Naturalis( IN) is mainly composed of 10% organic matter and 90% inorganic matter,with a poor wettability and strong hydrophobicity. Indigo,indirubin and effective ingredients are almost insoluble in water. And how it exerts its effect after oral administration still needs to be revealed. For this reason,this study put forward the hypothesis that " Indigo Naturalis forms a slightly soluble calcium carbonate carrier in a strong acid environment of gastric fluid,and organic substances are solubilized in the bile environment of intestinal fluid",and then verified the hypothesis. First,the dissolution apparatus was used to simulate the change process of IN in different digestive fluid,and the effects of low-dose and normal bile on the dissolution of inorganic substances and the release of organic substances were compared. After the surface morphology and element changes of IN in different digestive fluid were observed,it was found that bile is the key to promoting the dissolution of organic and inorganic substances in IN. Furthermore,the rat fever model induced by 2,4-dinitrophenol was used to study the antipyretic effect of IN in normal rats and bile duct ligation rats. It was found that the antipyretic effect of IN on normal rats was better than that of bile duct ligation rats. The above results indicated that after oral administration of IN,the calcium carbonate carrier was transformed into a slightly soluble state in acidic gastric fluid,and a small amount of organic matter was released. When IN entered the intestinal fluid mixed with bile,the carrier dissolved in a large amount,and indigo and indirubin were dissolved in a large amount,so as to absorb the blood and exert the effect. This study has a certain significance for guiding clinical application of IN. For patients with insufficient bile secretion( such as bile duct resection),oral administration with IN may not be effective and shall be paid attention.

RESUMO

Indigo Naturalis has a long history of medicinal use with particularity and complexity in its processing. Before the Ming dynasty,Indigo Naturalis was extracted from the top layer of zymotic fluid,called " purified Indigo Naturalis". In modern processing,the precipitate " crude Indigo Naturalis" is dried to produce Indigo Naturalis after impurity removal. The form of Indigo Naturalis slices has undergone significant changes in ancient and modern times. In view of this,the quality comparison between crude Indigo Naturalis and purified Indigo Naturalis was conducted in this study with modern analytical techniques. Firstly,chemical composition was analyzed with UPLC-Q-TOF-MS,and the chemical composition of scent with HS-SPME/GC-MS/MS. The content of indigo,indirubin,total ash,and water-soluble extract was determined as well as the inorganic composition in crude Indigo Naturalis and purified Indigo Naturalis. Then,their microscopic morphology was observed and the surface element composition was investigated. Finally,the antipyretic activities of crude Indigo Naturalis and purified Indigo Naturalis were compared in the fever rat model induced by lipopolysaccharide and 2,4-dinitrophenol. The results demonstrated that the purified Indigo Naturalis had a faster and more lasting antipyretic effect,while the crude Indigo Naturalis had almost no antipyretic effect. This study is of great significance to the research on processing technology of Indigo Naturalis and provides reference for the formulation of its quality standards,production specifications and calibration procedures.

Introducción. La fiebre en pediatría es motivo de consulta frecuente. El objetivo fue evaluar los conocimientos, actitudes y temores de los padres ante la fiebre de sus hijos.Material y métodos. Estudio observacional, analítico, transversal. En 2018, se realizó una encuesta a padres de niños de entre 6 meses y 5 años que asistieron al Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutiérrez de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.Se analizó la asociación entre las variables sociodemográficas y los conocimientos, actitudes y temores frente al cuadro febril.Resultados. Se realizaron 201 encuestas. El 56,7 % de los padres consideró que la fiebre era mala para la salud. El 37 % definió fiebre entre 37 °C y 37,5 °C, y el 59 %, 38-38,5 ºC. La media de temperatura considerada grave fue 39,2 °C (desvío estándar 0,69). El 93 % de los cuidadores utilizaba medidas físicas; el 97 % administraba antitérmicos y el 14,5 % los alternaba. Los temores a las consecuencias fueron, en el 82 %, convulsiones; en el 41 %, deshidratación; en el 18 %, daño cerebral y, en el 12 %, muerte. El 86,5 % despertaba a sus hijos para administrarles antitérmico. En el estrato de mayor instrucción materna, fue menor el temor a la fiebre (odds ratio0,5; intervalo de confianza del 95 %: 0,28-0,91).Conclusiones. Un tercio de los encuestados consideró fiebre valores bajos de temperatura. El temor a la fiebre fue elevado y el nivel de instrucción materna podría mitigarlo.

RESUMO

This paper mainly studied the effect of Xiyanping injection on the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fever in rabbits, preliminarily investigated the mechanisms, and provided pharmacological basis for the clinical application. The rabbit model of endotoxin-induced fever was established by using LPS as the inducer; The changes of rectal temperature were measured; The levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and phospholipaseA2 (PLA2) in the serum were measured; The levels of PGE2, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in cerebrospinal fluid as well as hypothalamus were detected. The animal welfare and experimental process are in accordance with the regulations of the Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University in this study. The results showed that Xiyanping injection (12.5, 25, and 50 mg·kg-1) could significantly reduce LPS-upregulated body temperature of rabbits, and the duration of action could reach 5.5-8.5 h. At the doses of 25 and 50 mg·kg-1, the antipyretic effect of Xiyanping injection was comparable to that of analgin injection (50 mg·kg-1). Furthermore, Xiyanping injection and analgin injection both reduced the levels of PGE2, IL-1β, TNF-α, and PLA2 in the serum of febrile rabbits to the varying degrees. In addition, Xiyanping injection also down-regulated the levels of PGE2, cAMP, and AVP in the hypothalamus, and PGE2 and cAMP in the cerebrospinal fluid. The level of AVP in the cerebrospinal fluid was up-regulated. This study indicated that Xiyanping injection could significantly improve the endotoxin-induced fever in rabbits, and mechanisms were closely related to the regulation of the levels of PGE2, TNF-α, IL-1β, PLA2, cAMP, and AVP in serum, hypothalamus, and cerebrospinal fluid.

RESUMO

To investigate the antipyretic effect of active components of Mahuang Decoction in febrile rats, and explore its correlation with pharmacokinetics at different time points. The feverished rat models were induced by dry yeast, and intragastrically administered with the effective components of Mahuang Decoction with different orthogonal compatibility ratios. At different time points after administration, body temperature was measured; blood was taken from orbital vena plexus, and the contents of interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in rat serum were determined with the kits. Combined with the pharmacokinetic data of the seven effective components in Mahuang Decoction, PK-PD(pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics) data fitting was conducted by using the analysis method of non-atrioventricular model, and then the pharmacodynamic parameters were calculated to determine the optimal binding model. The results showed that the effective components of Mahuang Decoction inhibited the release of heat-causing factors IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, and reduced the increase of body temperature. There was a significant lag between drug effect and blood drug concentration, which was consistent with Sigmoid-E_(max) model. The model fitting value showed a good correlation with mea-sured data, which could be used to evaluate and predict the correlation between PK and PD in Mahuang Decoction, and further applied to the multiple-indicator and multiple-effect study of PK-PD in other compound traditional Chinese medicines.

RESUMO

A combination of LC-MS technology and activity evaluation was used to identify the antipyretic ingredients in rhubarb. The rat model of fever was established with dried yeast and then was administered ethanol extract and different polar fractions of rhubarb. Next, the anal temperature of these rats was measured and recorded at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h after administration, and the inhibition rate of each part on the rise of body temperature was calculated. The inhibition rate is higher and the antipyretic effect is better. The chemical composition of the effective fraction was analyzed with UPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS technology. Compared with the model group, the increase of body temperature of ethanol extract group all reduced at each measurement time especially after 3 h, and the inhibition rate were 38.7%(P<0.05), 78.2%(P<0.01) and 72.4%(P<0.01) at 3 h, 4 h, and 5 h after administration, respectively. Both n-butanol and water fraction showed some antipyretic activity in the early stage, with the inhibition rate of 28.1%(P<0.01) and 24.9%(P<0.05) at 1 h after administration, respectively, while other fractions were not active. Thirty-three and twelve compounds were identified from n-butanol and water fraction by LC-MS/MS analysis, respectively, including ten tannins, fifteen anthraquinone glycosides, four anthrone glycosides, one phenolic glycoside, one naphthaline derivative, one anthraquinone and one sucrose. These results revealed that rhubarb had antipyretic activity on rats, and tannin and anthraquinone glycosides were the main active ingredients inside.

RESUMO

The study was conducted to determine the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activity of the methanolic extract of Andographispaniculata (APE) in albino rats. Acute oral LD50 of APE in female rats was more than 2000 mg/kg. The antipyretic activitywas studied by inducing pyrexia with Brewer’s yeast. A total number of thirty albino rats (200 g) were used for the study ofanti-pyretic activity they were divided into five groups of six rats in each group. Group I served as control Normal saline andGroup II were given brewer’s yeast alone (20 ml/kg), Group III was administered standard drug Aspirin @ 100 mg /kg bodywt. while groups IV and V were treated with 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg of Andrographis paniculata extract respectively.Pyrexia was induced by subcutaneously injecting 20% w/v brewer’s suspension in below the nape of the neck of the animals.The anti-inflammatory activity of APE was assessed by measuring the reduction in carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rats.A twenty four albino rats (200 g) were used for the study of anti-inflammatory activity. Four groups were divided with six ratsin each group. Group I served as control Normal saline solution and Group II was administered standard drug phenylbutazone@ 100 mg/kg While, groups III and IV were treated with 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg of APE respectively. APE (@ 400 mg/kghad significant antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activity against reduced brewer’s yeast induced pyrexia and carrageenaninduced rat paw edema in rats suggesting potent antipyretic effect of APE. From these results it may be concluded that crudemethanolic extract of Andrographis paniculata have significant antipyretic activity and anti-inflammatory activity that mightbe due to combined effect of active constituents present in plant extract this strongly support the ethno pharmacologicaluse of the plant for the management of fever and inflammation

RESUMO

Background: Irrational use of antibiotic for common childhood illnesses like respiratory tract infections, acute watery diarrhea and viral fever has developed the antibiotic resistance. Though, acute respiratory infection, acute watery diarrhea and viral fever account for almost 60% outpatient visits, but only 20% of these patients requires antibiotic therapy Methods: 250 total numbers of cases were included in this study. This study was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology, Venkateshwara Institute of Medical Sciences, Gajraula, U.P, India. The duration of study was over a period of 6 months Result: In this study 250 total numbers of cases were included. Among all cases 49.2% cases were belongs from 2-5 year of age followed by 1 m- 1 y (14.4%), >5 y (36.4%). In our study we found that 70% were male & 30% were female. Conclusion: This study concludes that, Common use of antibiotic without culture sensitivity, leads to high cost burden and resistance to antibiotics. This situation leads to the use of strong medication for the quick relief of the patients.
