Five novel cinmetacin amide derivatives as potential nonsteroidal antiinflammatory and analgesic compounds were prepared and their antiinflammatory-analgesic activity was compared with cinmetacin. Cinmetacin and hydroxysuccinimide were reacted with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide to give cinmetacin active ester (4), which was treated with amines to yield cinmetacin amides (5-9). Compounds (5) and (9) gave stronger analgesic activity than cinmetacin and compounds (5), (6), (9) showed comparable antiinflammatory activity to cinmetacin.

Ten 1,2,4-thiadiazolidines were synthesized and screened for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Butyl isothiocyanate was used as a starting material. Several compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. The unsubstituted and o-methyl, p-acetoxy and o-chloro substituted compounds were found to be more potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents than the other compounds.

The root extract of pulsatilla koreana has been used as antibacterial, antiparasitic and anti-inflam-matory analgesic agents in Traditional Medicine in Korea. Thus anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions of the methanol and water extracts of the root were investigated by administration in oral and intravenous route. From the results, it is concluded that the extracts exhibited the potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions in intravenous administration, but did not show the actions in oral administration in animals.

Six novel 4-aminoantipyrine derivatives as potential nonsteroidal antiinflammatory and analgesic compounds were prepared and their antiinflammatory-analgesic activity were compared with antiprine. Succinyl chloride and Ac $_2$O were reacted with glycine, respectively, to give glycine compounds (3-4, 9-10), which were treated with hydroxysuccinimide and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide to yield active esters (5-6, 11-12), and then reacted with 4-aminoantipyrine to prepare 4-aminoantipyrine derivatives (7-8, 13-14). 4-Aminoantipyrine reacted with succinyl chloride and Ac $_2$O, respectively, to give succinyl bis aminoantipyrine (15) and acetyl aminoantipyrine (16). Compounds (7), (8) and (13) gave comparable antiinflammatory activity to antipyrine.

The alkylated olivetol derivatives were prepared for evaluation as analgesic agents. Olivetol derivatives were proven to have analgesic activity by the acetic acid-induced writhing test and tail-flick test. These compounds were prepared by condensation of appropriate olivetols with cyclic allylic alcohols in the presence of $BF_3$-etherate on alumina.

For developing plant anti-inflammatory agents, extracts from Lonicera japonica were obtained and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities using acute/chronic inflammatory models and writhing tests. It was found that the extracts with a modified extraction method showed higher anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities than those of the extracts based on the ancient literatures.

Roots of Rumex crispus (Rc) (Polygonaceae) has been used as therapeutic agents of acute and chronic cutaneous diseases, cathartics, fever and jaundice in folk medicines. Recently, Seeds of Rc has known as a digestive, an anticancer agent and a remedy of acute hepatitis, among many traditional folk medicines. So far it isn't reported about pharmacological effects of Rumecis Semen. The present study describes the preliminary evaluations of biological activities, anti-inflammatory activity (AA, Carrageenan) analgesic activity (writhing test), and hepatoprotective activities ($CCl_4$), of its methanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction and butanol fraction. Among them butanol fraction showed the highest activity in analgesic acivity.

Effects of Allolobophora caliginosatrapezoides (Ac) polysaccharide fractions on the inflammation and hypersensitivity were studied in vivo. It showed that Ac polysaccharide fractions have the significant inhibitory activities of inflammation and hypersensitivity; They inhibited significantly the carrageenin-induced paw edema and acetic acid-induced writhing syndrome. They also inhibited significantly the Arthus reaction and delayed hypersensitivity in the sheep red blood cell-sensitized mice in accordance with the inhibition of haemaglutinin titer, haemolysin titer, plaque-forming cells and rosette-forming cells. They also improved markedly the oxazolone-induced dermatitis in rats dose-dependently. As the above results, it exhibited that Ac polysaccharide fraction inhibited not only humoral immune response, but also cell-mediated immune response. It seemed that methanol and ether extracts have also another physiological active agents.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a transient disease caused by the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) in spinal or cranial sensory ganglia. It is characterized by a painful rash in the affected dermatome. Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most troublesome side effect associated with HZ. However, PHN is often resistant to current analgesic treatments such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, opioids, and topical agents including lidocaine patches and capsaicin cream and can persist for several years. The risk factors for reactivation of HZ include advanced age and compromised cell-mediated immunity (CMI). Early diagnosis and treatment with antiviral agents plus intervention treatments is believed to shorten the duration and severity of acute HZ and reduce the risk of PHN. Prophylactic vaccination against VZV can be the best option to prevent or reduce the incidence of HZ and PHN. This review focuses on the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of HZ and PHN, as well as the efficacy of the HZ vaccine.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the pre-emptive analgesic efficacy of injected ketorolac to that of other agents for impacted third molar surgical removal in a healthy population. PubMed, Ovid SP, Cochrane databases were filtered from 1980 to July 2020 for potential papers using relevant MeSH terms and pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria independently by reviewers. Studies that compared pre-emptive intramuscular or intravenous administration of ketorolac to other agents were evaluated. The outcomes sought were self-reported postoperative pain (patient-perceived pain), median duration for rescue analgesic medication, total number of analgesics consumed in the recovery period, and global assessment (overall patient satisfaction) after the recovery period. Six studies were included in the final evaluation. The outcome of pain perception and the number of analgesics taken were significantly lower in the ketorolac group (intramuscular or intravenous) in most of the studies (n=5) than in the group of other drugs. The mean time for rescue analgesia intake was higher for the ketorolac group, and global assessment scores were also better in the ketorolac group. Although the included studies show significantly better outcomes such as postoperative pain, median time taken for rescue medication, total number of analgesics taken, and overall patient satisfaction with injected ketorolac group in comparison to injected diclofenac, dexamethasone, and tramadol, definitive conclusions cannot be made regarding the superiority of injected Ketorolac as a pre-emptive agent. A greater number of randomized control trials with a proper protocol are needed to make definitive conclusions.
