Phenistix in screening.

A R Clarkson
View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Screening procedures have achieved notoriety in recent years because of their ability to detect diseases in their early phases and also because of their expense. This paper describes a little-known but simple urine screening test which, if used judiciously, may help with diagnosis and treatment, and yet remain relatively inexpensive.

Analgesic activity of a polysaccharide in experimental osteoarthritis in rats.

Viscosupplementation efficacy has been related to the high molecular weight of hyaluronic acid-like compounds, as well as to gel formulation. We evaluated the effect of a galactomannan polysaccharide derived from Guar gum (GG) in joint pain in an osteoarthritis (OA) model. Wistar rats (six animals/group) were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT-OA group). The OA group was compared to a false-operated group (sham). Joint pain was recorded daily, using the articular incapacitation test, until 7 days after ACLT. Solutions or gel preparations of GG (100 microg) or Hylan G-F 20 (100 microg), used as a comparator, were given intraarticularly (i.a.) at day 4 after ACLT. Controls received saline i.a. The OA group had significantly increased joint pain as compared to sham (P<0.001). GG, either as a gel or solution, significantly inhibited joint pain similar to the inhibition achieved with Hylan G-F20. This is the first demonstration that a galactomannan derived from GG reduces joint pain in experimental OA. This analgesia is independent of the colloidal state. We propose that the analgesic benefit of viscosupplementation may be due to an intrinsic carbohydrate-mediated mechanism rather than to the rheologic properties of the material.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of some 3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-substituted amino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones as analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.

A variety of 3-(4-methyl phenyl)-2-substituted amino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones were synthesized by reacting the amino group of 2-hydrazino-3-(4-methyl phenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one with a variety of aldehydes and ketones. The starting material 2-hydrazino-3-(4-methyl phenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one was synthesized from 4-methyl aniline. The title compounds were investigated for analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and ulcerogenic index activities. While the test compounds exhibited significant activity, compounds Al, A2, and A3 showed more potent analgesic activity and the compound A3 showed more potent anti-inflammatory activity when compared to the reference standard diclofenac sodium. Interestingly, the test compounds showed only mild ulcerogenic potential when compared to aspirin.
