ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF SODIUM SALT OF 4-(O-β-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYLOXY)BENZOIC ACID
Abstract:
We have evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of the sodium salt of 4-(O-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzoic acid in comparison to well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Carrageenan suspension (1%, 0.1 mL) was injected into subplantar region of the right hindpaw of rats (n = 12) pretreated (7 days and 60 min before carrageenan injection) intragastrically with methyl ester of 4(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzoic acid (20 mg/kg), acetylsalicylic acid (20 mg/kg), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (20 mg/kg), or vehicle (2 mL of purified water). Paw edema volume was measured plethysmographically at 1, 2 and 4 h after carrageenan injection. The results showed that intragastric administration of the sodium salt of 4-(O-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzoic acid in a dose of 20 mg/kg for 7 days decreased the intensity of experimental inflammation.

Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
