Bronchodilator activity of three new drugs in patients with pulmonary emphysema.

چکیده
Many therapeutic agents have been employed effectively for the relief of bronchospasm. Preparations in current clinical use have been shown to be more efficacious than older ones, but no single agent has proved entirely satisfactory. Therefore, the present study was undertaken in order to evaluate the bronchodilator properties of three new drugs. As will be demonstrated, extensive preliminary observations showed that only one of these appeared to offer definite indications of therapeutic value. The bronchodilator activity of this drug was then studied in greater detail.

Effects of ipratropium bromide and fenoterol aerosols in pulmonary emphysema.
In patients with radiological evidence of pulmonary emphysema the bronchodilator drugs fenoterol and ipratropium bromide produced a considerable increase in vital capacity and reduction in residual volume. The response to fenoterol was virtually complete 15 minutes after administration, but after ipratropium bromide vital capacity was still increasing at 60 minutes. The change in vital capacity...
متن کاملPredictors of Pulmonary Function Response to Treatment with Salmeterol/fluticasone in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease and responses to therapies are highly variable. The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of pulmonary function response to 3 months of treatment with salmeterol/fluticasone in patients with COPD. A total of 127 patients with stable COPD from the Korean Obstructive Lung Disease (KOLD) Cohort, which were prospecti...
متن کاملSuperiority of PC-SOD to other anti-COPD drugs for elastase-induced emphysema and alteration in lung mechanics and respiratory function in mice.
Bronchodilators (such as ipratropium bromide), steroids (such as fluticasone propionate), and newly developed anti-inflammatory drugs (such as roflumilast) are used for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We recently reported that lecithinized superoxide dismutase (PC-SOD) confers a protective effect in mouse models of COPD. We here examined the therapeutic effect of the...
متن کاملMisuse of Inhaled Bronchodilator Agents.
In the course of doing simple lung-function tests on patients with chronic bronchitis, asthma, or emphysema it became clear that many of those using bronchodilator aerosols were not using them correctly. Since it seemed possible that such patients might not be gaining maximum benefit, and since the recently developed pressurized aerosols are expensive, it was thought reasonable to examine in mo...
متن کاملComparison of efficacy of long-acting bronchodilators in emphysema dominant and emphysema nondominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between morphological phenotypes according to the predominance of emphysema and efficacy of long-acting muscarinic antagonist and β(2) agonist bronchodilators in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS Seventy-two patients with stable COPD treated with tiotropium (n = 41) or salmeterol (n = 31) wer...
