Oglemilast (GRC 3886) suppresses pulmonary cell infiltration, including eosinophilia and neutrophilia in vitro and in vivo. Oglemilast is an effective and orally active phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor (IC50: 0.5 nM for PDE4D3). Oglemilast has the potential for inflammatory airway diseases.

SKF96067 is a reversible gastric H+/K+-ATPase inhibitor that can induce relaxation of human airway smooth muscle in vitro.

Etiprednol dicloacetate (BNP-166) is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity.Etiprednol dicloacetate inhibits the accumulation of eosinophils and can be used in the study of inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma and in the treatment of Crohn's disease.

YM 16638 is an orally active leukotriene (LT) antagonist with triglyceride-lowering and peroxisome-increasing effects that can be used to study antigen-induced early and late airway responses in allergic sheep.

(S)-Coriolic acid (13(S)-HODE) is an important intracellular signaling agent generated by the reaction of linoleic acid with plant and mammalian lipoxygenases. It is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation in various biological systems and inhibits the adhesion of tumor cells to the vascular endothelium, while down-regulating IRGpIIb IIIa receptor expression at around 1 μM. Additionally, (S)-Coriolic acid is a metabolite of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) and often acts as an endogenous ligand to activate PPARγ. It induces mitochondrial dysfunction and airway epithelial damage.

Pirodomast is a thromboxane A (TXA2) synthase inhibitor. Pirodomast inhibits leukotriene (LT) D4, C4, E4 formation and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) activity, but is weakly or ineffectively antagonistic to guinea pig bronchospasm induced by histamine, methacholine, serotonin, LTC4, or platelet-activating factor. Pirodomast is a potential antiallergic compound. Pirodomast had only weak relaxant activity on guinea pig trachea in vitro. Pirodomast is a potential antiallergic compound that inhibits the protein hydrolyzing activity of trypsin in vitro, prevents antigen-induced immediate and late asthmatic responses in allergic sheep in vivo, and inhibits antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine and carbachol in allergic sheep.

Picumast shows antiallergic activity and can be utilized in the treatment of asthma. Picumast may be used in the treatment of therapeutic allergic airway diseases.

picumeterol FA is a potent and selective β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. In in vitro and in vivo tests, picumeterol FA produces long-lasting airway smooth muscle relaxation. picumeterol FA is a pure R-enantiomer and can be used to improve lung function and reduce airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with asthma.

Theophylline monohydrate (Quibron) appears to inhibit phosphodiesterase and prostaglandin production, regulate calcium flux and intracellular calcium distribution, and antagonize adenosine. Theophylline monohydrate is a natural alkaloid derivative of xanthine isolated from the plants Camellia sinensis and Coffea arabica. Physiologically, this agent relaxes the bronchial smooth muscle, produces vasodilation (except in cerebral vessels), stimulates the CNS, stimulates the cardiac muscle, induces diuresis, and increases gastric acid secretion; it may also suppress inflammation and improve contractility of the diaphragm.

Levofloxacin hydrate (Cravit hydrate) is a broad-spectrum, third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic and optically active L-isomer of ofloxacin with antibacterial activity. Levofloxacin diffuses through the bacterial cell wall and acts by inhibiting DNA gyrase (bacterial topoisomerase II), an enzyme required for DNA replication, RNA transcription, and repair of bacterial DNA. Inhibition of DNA gyrase activity leads to blockage of bacterial cell growth.

Methacholine Chloride (Acetyl-β-methylcholine chloride) is a quaternary ammonium parasympathomimetic agent with the muscarinic actions of ACETYLCHOLINE. It is hydrolyzed by ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE at a considerably slower rate than ACETYLCHOLINE and is more resistant to hydrolysis by nonspecific CHOLINESTERASES so that its actions are more prolonged. It is used as a parasympathomimetic bronchoconstrictor agent and as a diagnostic aid for bronchial asthma.

Camostat mesylate (FOY-S980) is a trypsin-like protease inhibitor and inhibits airway epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) function.

Ciclesonide (Alvesco)(RPR251526) is a glucocorticoid used for the treatment of obstructive airway diseases.

Sodium Hydrogen Sulfide (hydrate) is, like nitric oxide, an important gaseous mediator that has significant effects on the immunological, neurological, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems of mammals. Sodium Hydrogen Sulfide (hydrate) is an H2S donor commonly used in cellular and whole animal experimental systems. For example, it has been used to suggest that H2S promotes neutrophil migration, reduces airway inflammation, and protects neurites, heart, and intestine from chemical or ischemic-reperfusion damage.

Phosphorylcholine chloride, an antigenic component found on the surface of numerous commensal and pathogenic bacteria inhabiting the upper airway, is integral to bacterial cell surfaces.

Levofloxacin ((-)-Ofloxacin) is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits the superhelical activity of bacterial DNA rotamase and prevents DNA replication. Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections.

Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum, third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic and optically active L-isomer of ofloxacin with antibacterial activity.
