Original ContributionNitroxides prevent exacerbation of indomethacin-induced gastric damage in adjuvant arthritis rats
Highlights
► Indomethacin exacerbates gastric damage in adjuvant arthritis rats. ► We evaluated new nitroxides as imaging agents and antioxidants. ► OMRI imaging using all tested nitroxides showed a redox imbalance in the stomach. ► Effects of nitroxides on lipid peroxide, IL-1β, and CINC/gro were different.

Chemicals
TEMPOL, heavy oil, indomethacin, and urethane were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37 RA was obtained from Difco Laboratories (Detroit, MI, USA) and pentobarbital sodium and isoflurane were from Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma (Tokyo, Japan). Purified cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 derived from sheep seminal vesicles were purchased from Meridian Life Science (Saco, ME, USA). All other reagents were from Wako Pure Chemicals Industries Ltd.
Preventive effect of nitroxides on gastric ulcers in AA rats
AA was induced by injection of M. tuberculosis H37 RA into the footpad of the DA rat. Edema occurred on the 9th day and the footpad volume increased up to the 14th day in the AA group, but not in the control (Ctrl) group (Fig. 1A). In the Ctrl group, oral administration of indomethacin (IND) induced a slight gastric mucosal lesion, whereas the lesion in the AA group was markedly exacerbated compared with that in the Ctrl group (Figs. 1B and C). No lesions were observed in the gastric mucosa in
Discussion
This study showed that newly synthesized nitroxides suppressed the gastric mucosal lesions induced by indomethacin treatment in AA rats. Although indomethacin treatment in normal rats induces lesion formation in the gastric mucosa, the effect is exacerbated in AA rats. This enhanced sensitivity to NSAIDs in arthritic rats has previously been reported [4], [34].
The nitroxides showed a dose-dependent protective effect on gastric injury in indomethacin-treated AA rats. Nitroxides are also useful

2018, Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsCitation Excerpt :Nitroxides display anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in vivo and are beneficial in prevention of experimental gastrointestinal injury. Thus, in an indomethacin-induced rat colitis model, the cyclic nitroxide TEMPOL attenuated gastric injury in rats when delivered intraperitoneally [175]. While the study authors observed a decrease in neutrophil infiltration in TEMPOL-treated rats, they did not assess MPO activity.

2017, Journal of Molecular StructureCitation Excerpt :In particular, 3-substituted indoles have been found with anti-carcinogenic, antitumor, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities [17]. A couple of very selective drugs are containing the indole unit such as sumatriptan (for migraine) [18], ondansetron (treatment of nausea caused by chemo- and radiotherapy) [19], and indometacine (treatment of rheumatoid arthritis) [20]. As part of our study of diverse heterocyclic compounds with potential medicinal importance [21], in this study we present the synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine indole derivatives.
