Methyl- and phenyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxy styryl ketones (MHSK and PHSK, resp.) upon oral administration displayed marked antiinflammatory activity in a variety of acute tests viz. carrageenan, histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, dextran, bradykinin and prostaglandin (PG) induced oedema in rats and carrageenan evoked swelling in

Dehydrozingerone (1) is a pungent constituent present in the rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and belongs structurally to the vanillyl ketone class. It is a representative of half the chemical structure of curcumin (2), which is an antioxidative yellow pigment
Some pharmacological actions and acute toxicity effects of methyl- and phenyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxy styryl ketones have been described in experimental animals. The compounds antagonised the contractions evoked by a variety of agonists on several smooth muscle preparations in vitro. They produced inhibitory

The present study investigates the inhibition of lipid peroxidation by dehydrozingerone and curcumin in rat brain homogenates. Both the test compounds inhibited the formation of conjugated dienes and spontaneous lipid peroxidation. These compounds also inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by ferrous
Antimutagenic activities of dehydrozingerone, benzalacetone and its analogs substituted with the hydroxyl, methoxyl or methyl group on the benzene ring were investigated by the post-treatment for UV-induced mutagenesis in Escherichia coli WP2s (uvrA). In this assay, dehydrozingerone was a poor
