A marked tuberculin response as well as carrageenin edema were induced in rat hind paw to compare the effects of antiinflammatory agents on these responses. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents such as diclofenac and piroxicam were very weak inhibitors of the paw tuberculin response. These agents showed only a slight inhibitory effect on tuberculin response even at doses that were four to five times larger than the 50% effective doses for inhibiting carrageenin edema. On the other hand, steroidal antiinflammatory agents, dexamethasone and prednisolone, showed potent inhibitory effects on the paw tuberculin response at the 50% effective doses for inhibiting carrageenin edema. The above findings clearly revealed the difference in characters between non-steroids and steroids by comparing their effects on tuberculin response and carrageenin edema. The different properties of two classes of antiinflammatory drugs may be of significance in evaluating the effect of antiinflammatory agents on delayed-type hypersensitivity.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
