quinacrine and Inflammation

quinacrine has been researched along with Inflammation in 16 studies

Quinacrine: An acridine derivative formerly widely used as an antimalarial but superseded by chloroquine in recent years. It has also been used as an anthelmintic and in the treatment of giardiasis and malignant effusions. It is used in cell biological experiments as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2.
quinacrine : A member of the class of acridines that is acridine substituted by a chloro group at position 6, a methoxy group at position 2 and a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]nitrilo group at position 9.

Inflammation: A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

"Quinacrine has been widely used in treatment of parasitic diseases such as malaria and giardiasis, and in the treatment of autoimmune diseases."6.49Quinacrine-induced occlusive fibrosis in the human fallopian tube is due to a unique inflammatory response and modification of repair mechanisms. ( Fail, PA; Growe, RG; Lippes, J; Luster, MI, 2013)
"Quinacrine (QC) is an anti-inflammatory drug that has been used for the treatment of malaria and rheumatoid diseases."5.34Quinacrine inhibits the epidermal dendritic cell migration initiating T cell-mediated skin inflammation. ( Fairchild, RL; Gasparian, AV; Gorbachev, AV; Gudkov, AV; Gurova, KV, 2007)
" For this, extended subacute ovalbumin mice model of asthma was developed; these mice showed an increased expression of profibrotic mediators, subepithelial fibrosis, and goblet cell metaplasia along with airway inflammation, increased Th(2) cytokines, allergen-specific IgE, IgG(1), increased cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)), and airway hyperresponsiveness."3.75Mepacrine inhibits subepithelial fibrosis by reducing the expression of arginase and TGF-beta1 in an extended subacute mouse model of allergic asthma. ( Agrawal, A; Aich, J; Ghosh, B; Mabalirajan, U, 2009)
"Quinacrine has been widely used in treatment of parasitic diseases such as malaria and giardiasis, and in the treatment of autoimmune diseases."2.49Quinacrine-induced occlusive fibrosis in the human fallopian tube is due to a unique inflammatory response and modification of repair mechanisms. ( Fail, PA; Growe, RG; Lippes, J; Luster, MI, 2013)
"Complete eradication of aggressive oral cancer remains a challenge due to the presence of CSCs."1.48Metallic gold and bioactive quinacrine hybrid nanoparticles inhibit oral cancer stem cell and angiogenesis by deregulating inflammatory cytokines in p53 dependent manner. ( Das, S; Kundu, CN; Nayak, A; Nayak, D; Satapathy, SR; Siddharth, S, 2018)
"Quinacrine (QC) is an anti-inflammatory drug that has been used for the treatment of malaria and rheumatoid diseases."1.34Quinacrine inhibits the epidermal dendritic cell migration initiating T cell-mediated skin inflammation.
