Abstract:
Keeping in view the involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of several diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders and rheumatoid arthritis, herein, we review the processes for the initiation of inflammation and the treatment measures. While focusing on the cyclooxygenase mediated arachidonic acid metabolic pathways, biochemistry of inflammatory prostaglandins is discussed. The data corresponding to efficacy, pharmacokinetic profile and the side effects of the available natural and synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs is reviewed. Moreover, the given information for the drug-based design of new anti-inflammatory agents may help in the development of more potent and safe molecules.

Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
Inflammatory Response I: Vascular and Cellular
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
