1- Introduction Benzosuberone based compounds are important classes of biologically active compounds that attracted a great deal of interest in the medicinal chemistry due to their potent biological activities and wide range of pharmaceutical applications [1-6]. Several publications recorded that some of benzosuberone derivatives possess antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiulcer and antitumor activities [1-6]. As an indication for the importance of the benzosuberone based…
VAC therapy increases wound blood flow, promotes angiogenesis and subsequent formation of healthy tissue, speeds the formation of granulation tissue, and decreases accumulation of fluid and bacteria to accelerate healing[130], and is effective on all categories of pressure ulcers tested [130, 200] with an average size reduction of 55%.[89] VAC therapy enhances more extensive healing than both alginate and hydrocolloid dressings[200], with patients…

Lipids are fatty acids and their derivatives, and substances related biosynthetically or functionally to these compounds. Lipids are diverse group of organic compounds including fats, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes that are grouped together and mainly amphipathic. The variation in head groups and aliphatic chains allows the presence of more than 1000 different lipid species in any eukaryotic cell. Different types of lipid include Phospholipids, Sphingolipids and Cholesterol…
