The usual treatments of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) including the alpha-blockers, the inhibitors of the 5-alpha reductase and the phytotherapy drugs allow significant improvements of the lower urinary tracts symptoms (LUTS). However, some patients are not responders or have side effects due to
Sexual dysfunctions (SD) are frequent in schizophrenia (SZ) and associated with treatment withdrawal, however they remain under-explored and under-treated. To date, most of the studies have focused on SD as antipsychotics' side effects in therapeutic Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has become a global epidemic disease with an increased morbidity and mortality in the world. Inflammatory process progresses and contributes to irreversible airflow limitation. However, there is no available therapy to better control the inflammatory
New therapeutic approaches have recently been investigated in order to improve the voiding disorders of patient with lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of these treatments: anti-inflammatory, antidiuretic,
Anticholinergics, and drugs with anticholinergic properties, are widely and frequently prescribed, especially to the elderly. It is well known that these drugs decrease cognitive function and increase the risk of dementia. Although the mechanism of anticholinergic drug-induced cognitive impairment
Acetylcholine is the primary parasympathetic neurotransmitter in the airways and an autocrine/paracrine secreted hormone from non-neuronal origins including inflammatory cells and airway structural cells. In addition to the well-known functions of acetylcholine in regulating bronchoconstriction and
With the aim of reducing the local gastric irritation associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a series of N,N-disubstituted aminoalcohol ester derivatives of ibuprofen and ketoprofen were synthesized and evaluated. The esters were specially designed to possess the anticholinergic
OBJECTIVE
It is difficult to identify specific groups of asthmatic patients who may benefit from acute or chronic use of anticholinergic agents. Therefore, an important consideration is how anticholinergic agents can be used to achieve clinically effective treatment of asthma.

BACKGROUND
Sida (Malvaceae) has been used as a traditional remedy for the treatment of diarrhoea, malarial, gastrointestinal dysentery, fevers, asthma and inflammation.
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluates the anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic and anti-cholinergic activities of Sida rhombifolia Linn. whole
We quantified TGF-β1 and acetylcholine (ACh) concentrations in induced sputum supernatants (ISSs) from 18 healthy controls (HC), 22 healthy smokers (HS) and 21 COPDs. ISSs from HC, HS and COPD as well as rhTGF-β1 were also tested in neutrophil adhesion and in mAChR2, mAChR3 and ChAT expression
Sulfur mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, SM) is a highly reactive bifunctional alkylating agent inducing edema, inflammation, and the formation of fluid-filled blisters in the skin. Medical countermeasures against SM-induced cutaneous injury have yet to be established. In the present studies, we
As part of a continuous effort to develop efficient counter measures against sulfur mustard injuries, several unique NSAID prodrugs have been developed and screened for anti-inflammatory properties. Presented herein are three classes of prodrugs which dually target inflammation and cholinergic
Currently, much effort is geared towards developing therapies that impact on the inflammation in respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, assuming that this will improve disease pathology. R,R-Glycopyrrolate, a quaternary ammonium compound, is a muscarinic receptor antagonist with the potential
Sulfur mustard (SM, bis(2-chloroethyl sulfide) is a potent vesicating agent known to cause skin inflammation, necrosis and blistering. Evidence suggests that inflammatory cells and mediators that they generate are important in the pathogenic responses to SM. In the present studies we investigated
The brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is characterized by neurodegeneration, especially an acetylcholine (ACh) neuronal deficit with accumulation of β-amyloid protein, which leads to oxygen stress and inflammation. The active oxygen directly damages the neuron by increasing intracellular
