Popis: Inflammation is a local tissue response to attacks characterized by vascular and cellular events, including intense oxidative stress. Riparin A, a compound obtained from Aniba riparia, has been shown to have antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity in vitro. This study was aimed at evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of riparin A against acute inflammation. The results of our evaluations in various experimental models indicated that riparin A reduced paw edema induced by carrageenan, compound 48/80, histamine, and serotonin. Furthermore, it decreased leukocyte and neutrophil counts, myeloperoxidase activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels, and cytokine (tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β) levels increased by carrageenan-induced peritonitis, and reversed glutathione levels. Riparin A also reduced carrageenan-induced adhesion and rolling of leukocytes on epithelial cells and did not produce gastric-damage as compared with indomethacin. In conclusion, the data show that riparin A reduces inflammatory response by inhibiting vascular and cellular events, modulating neutrophil migration, inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine production, and reducing oxidative stress.
