Influence of Proquazone (Biarison) on the levels of complement components (C3 and C4) in synovial fluid and on IgM in serum in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. A preliminary report.
Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 2009Co-Authors: Bo SkrifvarsAbstract:Four patients with erosive rheumatoid arthritis and one with psoriasis arthropathy were treated with 600-900 mg/day Proquazone for 4-7 weeks. All patients had acute knee effusions. The complement components C3 and C4, as well as IgG, IgA, IgM and total protein, were measured in both the synovial fluid and serum before and after treatment, tn the 4 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a marked increase in C3 and/or C4 levels in the synovial fluid was found, correlating in 3 cases with a good clinical response. However, no corresponding changes in complement levels were recorded in the serum. The patient with psoriasis arthropathy did not show any reaction. These preliminary results suggest that Proquazone may influence the immunological processes in rheumatoid arthritis.

Effects of inflammation and anti-inflammatory treatment on serum trace elements concentrations
Biological Trace Element Research, 2003Co-Authors: Ethem Akçil, Gülnur Yavuz, Mehtap KoçakAbstract:We investigated the serum concentrations of zinc and copper during the inflammatory process together with the effect of treatment with a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agent on these trace elements concentrations. In the present study, we used 92 guinea pigs, 12 of which constituted the control group; the remaining 80 were the experimental group. To start with, Proquazone (as anti-inflammatory agent) was administered orally to 40 guinea pigs of the experimental group at 20-mg/kg doses 2 h before the surgery. Throughout the experimental period, the above dose was administered to the animals twice a day. We produced inflammation in all animals of the experimental group by using carrageenan (inflammatory agent) dropped into mandibular surgical defects. Serum concentrations of zinc and copper were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in both groups at the 6th, 48th, 120th, 168th, and 240th h. The serum zinc concentrations of the carrageenan-administered group decreased significantly ( p

Design and synthesis of some oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, thiazolidinyl, and thiazolyl derivatives of 1H-pyrazole as anti-inflammatory antimicrobial agents.
Archiv der Pharmazie, 2000Co-Authors: Ahmed A. Farghaly, Adnan A. Bekhit, Ji Young ParkAbstract:Four series of 1H-pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized. The first series was prepared by cyclization of the intermediate 3-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde aroyl-hydrazone 4a-c with acetic anhydride to afford the corresponding oxadiazoline derivatives 5a-c. The other series were prepared by the cyclization of the intermediate 3-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-1-phenyl-4-substituted thiocarbamoylhydrazonomethyl-1H-pyrazole 6a-c with acetic anhydride, ethyl bromoacetate or phenacyl bromide giving rise to 3-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-1-phenyl-4-[3-acetyl-5-(N-substituted acetamido)-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazoles 7a-c, 3-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-1-phenyl-4-(3-substituted- 4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidenehydrazonomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles 8a-c, or 3-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-1-phenyl-4-(3-substituted-4- phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazol-2-ylidenehydrazonomethyl)-1H-pyraz oles 9a-c respectively. Some of these compounds showed anti-inflammatory, antibacterial or antifungal activities comparable to that of Proquazone, Ampicillin, or Clotrimazole respectively.
