Clarithromycin prevents smoke-induced emphysema in mice.
RATIONALE Modulating the low-grade chronic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease remains challenging. Clarithromycin (CAM), a macrolide antibiotic, reportedly ameliorates chronic inflammation via mechanisms independent of its antibacterial activity. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine whether CAM can prevent or reduce emphysema induced by chronic cigarette smoke ex...
متن کاملClarithromycin-resistant mycobacterium avium is still susceptible to treatment with clarithromycin and is virulent in mice.
Resistance to clarithromycin in breakthrough Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) isolates typically occurs 3 to 4 months after the initiation of monotherapy in bacteremic AIDS patients. It has been suggested that continuation of clarithromycin therapy still results in clinical and microbiological improvement. To study this paradox, C57BL/6 beige mice were infected with a clarithromycin-resistant ...
متن کاملEfficacy of clarithromycin against experimentally induced pneumonia caused by clarithromycin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae in mice.
Clarithromycin is a 14-member lactone ring macrolide with potent activity against Haemophilus influenzae, including ampicillin-resistant strains. We evaluated the in vivo efficacy of clarithromycin at 40 mg/day and 100 mg/day for 3 days in the treatment of a murine model of pneumonia using a macrolide-resistant H. influenzae strain, which was also ampicillin resistant. The MIC of clarithromycin...
متن کاملClarithromycin Attenuates Radiation-Induced Lung Injury in Mice
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common and unavoidable complication of thoracic radiotherapy. The current study was conducted to evaluate the ability of clarithromycin (CLA) to prevent radiation-induced pneumonitis, oxidative stress, and lung fibrosis in an animal model. C57BL/6J mice were assigned to control, irradiation only, irradiation plus CLA, and CLA only groups. Test mice rece...
متن کاملPositive effects of Vitamin C in arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in mice in vivo
The aim of the present study was to evaluate Vitamin C (VC) as a potent natural antioxidant to mitigate the genotoxic effects of Arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride in Swiss albino mice in vivo. The study was divided into eight groups consisting of control treated with normal saline (Group I), Group II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and the VC group with only Vitamin C (500 mg/kgbw). Arsenic trioxide (4...
