Results showed that chloroquine produced a series of ocular toxicity ranging from loss of pupillary and corneal reflex to severe retinopathy. The minimal dose at which these ocular toxicities develop on pigmented rabbits was found to be 5 mg/kg daily for 30 days or a cumulative dose of 225 mg of chloroquine. Furthermore, the cumulative effect of the drug depends on the body weight of the animal, total dose administered and duration of therapy.

Retinoids play a role in the maturation of the central nervous system and in the cerebral metabolism but metabolism studies of the vitamin A in the brain are insufficient. In this study the goal is to determine vitamin A and retinyl esters concentrations of the rat brain by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The validation of this HPLC method shows that results are reliable and reproducible. Reproducibility has been assessed with coefficient of variation (2.84% for retinol and 3.78% for retinyl palmitate) and rate of recovery was 95.2 % for retinol and 96,8 for retinyl palmitate. Results show that the retinol and retinyl esters are constituents of the brain of rat. The brain of rat revealed considerable quantities of vitamin A as retinol and as retinyl esters. The retinyl palmitate with 11.77 ± 4.11nmol/g is the most abundant ester in the brain in front of the retinyl linoleate (2.80±1.3 l nmol/g) and of the retinyl stearate with a concentration of 2.11± 0.64 nmol/g. This technique allowed us to note that the vitamin A, as free alcohol and as esters, is a biochemical constituent of the rat brain. The simultaneous existence of the two chemical structures encourages the hypothesis according to which the brain is capable to stock and to convert the two entities.\u0000 Keywords : Vitamin A, retinol esters, HPLC, brain West African Journal of Pharmacology and Drug Research Vol. 21 (1&2) 2005: pp. 18-21","PeriodicalId":23624,"journal":{"name":"West African journal of pharmacology and drug research","volume":"24 1","pages":"18-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90606184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anders (Acanthaceae) is locally used in the treatment of cough, backache, chest pain and rheumatic pains. The ethno-medical uses of this plant and the need to establish its pharmacological effects have prompted this present study. The anti-inflammatory activity of the methanolic extract of Acanthus montanus was investigated using acute and sub-acute inflammatory models such as paw oedema, granuloma pouch and pleurisy in rats as well as xylene ear oedema in mice. Acanthus montanus was found to possess anti-inflammatory activity and was effective, orally, in suppressing various experimentally induced inflammatory reactions. Significant dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effects with doses of 100-400mg/kg were observed on acute inflammatory models such as carrageenan- and arachidonic acid-induced oedema, xylene-induced ear oedema in mice, carrageenan-induced granuloma pouch and pleurisy in rats. However, the extract did not inhibit egg albumin-induced oedema. On the basis of the study, it may be inferred that Acanthus montanus may be a useful anti-inflammatory agent, which inhibits cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways at the level of phospholipase A2 (PLA2).
