The mechanism of the antiinflammatory activity of three copper(II) complexes: tetrachlorocuprate(II) of bis(2.4.6-trimethylpyridinio), tetrachlorocuprate(II) of bis(2.4-dimethylpyridinio) and tetrachlorocuprate(II) of bis-pyridinio, has been investigated. The antiinflammatory activity does not seem to be related to an inhibitory effect on prostaglandin biosynthesis or with leukocyte migration into inflamed tissue. These complexes showed an inhibitory effect on volume exudate in experimental pleurisy. They showed also a potent inhibitory effect on the production of superoxide anions. These inhibitory effects could explain, at least in part, their antiinflammatory activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D002464 Cell Migration Inhibition Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.
