antitussives/inflammation

Cough is a common symptom of respiratory diseases associated with irritation or inflammation of the airways, and symptomatic antitussive drugs are frequently prescribed to control an abnormal cough reflex. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of moguisteine, a novel, peripheral, nonnarcotic

We studied antitussive activity of antibodies to inflammatory mediators (bradykinin, histamine, and serotonin) in ultralow doses. Experiments were performed on guinea pigs with cough induced by citric acid and capsaicin. Test preparations suppressed cough produced by citric acid. Antibodies to

Background: Perilla seed oil (PSO) is the main constituent of perilla seeds currently being used in the food industry, however it also has great clinical potential in the regulation of lung function as a nutrition supplement because of

BACKGROUND The flower bud of Tussilago farfara L. (Compositae) (FTF) is one of the traditional Chinese medicinal herbs used to treat cough, phlegm, bronchitic, and asthmatic conditions. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to isolate four caffeoylquinic acids from the ethyl acetate extract (EtE)

The best-studied store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs), Ca2+ release activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels, are activated by depleting endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pool and mediate Ca2+ influx vitally important for Ca2+ restoration and many cellular function. CRAC channels were identified on immune and airway

Erdosteine is a multifactorial drug currently used in COPD for its rheologic activity on bronchial secretions and its positive effects on bacterial adhesiveness. Erdosteine produces an active metabolite (Met 1) which was shown to produce antioxidant effects during the respiratory burst of human

Experiments indicated that the ethanol extract and ether extract from Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii showed obvious antitussive and expectorant effects in mice with stomach administration. The antitussive effect of ethanol extract was stronger than the expectorant effect. The water extract showed a

OBJECTIVE The effects of four antitussives, including codeine phosphate (CP), moguisteine, levodropropizine (LVDP) and naringin, on airway neurogenic inflammation and enhanced cough were investigated in guinea pig model of chronic cough. METHODS Guinea pigs were exposed to CS for 8 weeks. At the 7th

OBJECTIVE The presented studies were aimed on experimental confirmation of Althaea officinalis polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan antitussive effect and its changes in conditions of allergic inflammation. METHODS We have tested whether rhamnogalacturonan inhibits cough reflex and modulates airways

Suhuang antitussive capsule (SH), one of traditional Chinese patent medicines, has been widely used for treating cough variant asthma and postinfectious cough in clinic. The objective of this work is to identify the characteristic and active ingredients as the quality control markers for SH based on

OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacologic effect of Jin'an Kechuan granules. METHODS Routine antitussive, antiasthmatic and expectorant methods were used. RESULTS Jin'an Kechuan granules in the doses of 16, 8, 4 g.kg-1 ig could significantly decrease the frequency of cough caused by ammonia water in

The bronchospasmolytic, antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, mucolytic and antitussive activities of 8-(2-phenylethyl)-1-oxa-diazaspiro[4,5]decan-2-one 2-tiophenecarboxylate (decasilate, CAS 76652-72-7) have been evaluated using different experimental models. 1. Decasilate showed a remarkable

OBJECTIVE Using an experimental model of allergic asthma, we evaluated the anti-asthmatic potential of polyphenol flavonol derivate morin after either acute or long-term treatment of male OVA-sensitised guinea pigs. METHODS The following methods were used in experiments: the in-vitro tracheal smooth

Natural products play an important role in drug discovery. This work employed a natural product 1-methylhydantoin as the lead compound to develop novel dual-active drugs. 1-Methylhydantoin was isolated from Oviductus Ranae, which is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for
