The disease's chronic course and long-term onset impose high economic and psychological costs on communities, adversely affecting individual and social life. Platelets play a role in various pathophysiological processes, including inflammation and immunology. Growing evidence suggests that platelets are actively involved in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory disorders, including inflammatory skin diseases. This study investigated the relationship between platelet and immunoglobulin-E markers and chronic idiopathic urticaria.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>In the present case-control study, for the study population, patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria were referred to the Asthma and Allergy Clinic, and their caregivers were selected as the case and control groups, respectively. In this study, the mean platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and Total IgE values were simultaneously measured in the case and control groups. After taking 5CCs of venous blood, a blood sample was sent to the laboratory for platelet and IgE marker measurements.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>100 patients and 100 healthy persons were evaluated in this study. The mean age in the case group was 34.95, and in the control group was 35.78 years. The results showed that the mean values of PLT, MPV, PDW, and Total IgE in the case group were 12.86, 9.83, 252190, and 147.05, respectively. The mean values of PLT, MPV, PDW, and Total IgE in the control group were 16.93, 7.53, 231410, and 15.29, respectively, which was statistically significant (P = 0.001).

By now, medicines for OA are available for oral, topical, or intra-articular (IA) therapy and include analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and hyaluronic acid.

Herbal medicine administered orally or topically exhibits pharmacological properties that could be relevant for their beneficial effect in OA, mainly anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

The synthesized compounds were in vitro tested for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In vitro evaluation report showed that nearly all molecules possess potential antioxidant activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide radical (SOR), and hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) radical scavenging activity. Most of the imidazo-thiadiazole derivatives have shown significant anti-inflammatory activity as compared to diclofenac sodium as a reference standard.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In the search for novel therapies to treat inflammation and oxidation, we have made efforts to develop anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents with a preeminent activity. Imidazo-thiadiazoles 5a, 5e as well as 5f showed potential anti-inflammatory activity. All tested imidazo-thiadiazole deriv-atives (5a-f) showed potential antioxidant activity against one more radical scavenging species as com-pared to ascorbic acid as the reference standard. Thus, imidazo-thiadiazole derivatives constitute an interesting template for the design and development of new antioxidant as well as anti-inflammatory agents.</p>","PeriodicalId":29815,"journal":{"name":"Recent Advances in Inflammation & Allergy Drug Discovery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10684685","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}
