bronchodilation

Tiquizium has effective Antimuscarinic effect, and causes significant bronchodilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Zileuton (A 64077) is a synthetic derivative of hydroxyurea with antiasthmatic properties. The leukotriene inhibitor zileuton blocks 5-lipoxygenase, which catalyzes the formation of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid; causes bronchodilation; decreases bronchial mucous secretion and edema; and may prevent or decrease the symptoms of asthma.

Prostaglandin E1 (Alprostadil) is the naturally occurring prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) which displays a variety of pharmacologic actions. Prostaglandin E1 is a potent vasodilator agent that increases peripheral blood flow, inhibits platelet aggregation, and induces bronchodilation. Used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, this agent produces corporal smooth muscle relaxation by binding to PGE receptors, resulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and the subsequent accumulation of 3'5'-cAMP.

11-deoxy Prostaglandin E2 (11-deoxy PGE2) is a stable, synthetic analog of PGE2 . In contrast to PGE2 which has bronchodilation effects, 11-deoxy PGE2 is a powerful bronchoconstrictor and contracts human respiratory tract smooth muscle with potencies ranging from 5 to 30 times higher than PGF2α .

Glaucine has antitussive, antioxidative potential and antiviral activities, it may be an anti-arthritic agent, it can enhance LPS and zymosan-induced IL-10 production. Glaucine can inhibit the migration and invasion of human breast cancer cells by MMP-9 i
