چکیده
significantly by long-term and low-dose treatment of 14memberedring macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin (EM), clarithromycin (CAM) and roxithromycin (RXM)3'4). Anti-inflammatory mechanisms of macrolide antibiotics include the down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines and lymphocytes. EM and azithromycin (AZM), a 15memberedring macrolide antibiotic that has clinical effect in the treatment of DPB, were shown to inhibit neutrophil functions in human peripheral blood of chemotaxis and active oxygen generation in vitro5\ EMwas also shown to exhibit a prophylactic effect on lung injury in vivo by using a bleomycin-induced acute lung injury model in rats6). Previously, we discovered a strong gastrointestinal

Effect of macrolide antibiotics on neutrophil function in human peripheral blood.
Since "small-dose and long-term" administration of erythromycin (EM) was shown to be efficacious in the treatment of chronic respiratory disease, the modulation of host defense responses by EM has attracted much attention. Although there is considerable controversy, it was recently demonstrated that EM activity reduces neutrophil function. In this study, we investigated the in vitro effects of ...
متن کاملErythromycin-induced CXCR4 expression on microvascular endothelial cells.
Although stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) via its cognate receptor CXCR4 is assumed to play a critical role in migration of endothelial cells during new vessel formation after tissue injury, CXCR4 expression on endothelial cells is strictly regulated. Erythromycin (EM), a 14-membered ring macrolide, has an anti-inflammatory effect that may account for its clinical benefit in the treatment of ch...
متن کاملEffect of 14-membered ring macrolide therapy on chronic respiratory tract infections and polymorphonuclear leukocyte activity.
We studied the efficacy of the long-term administration of 14-membered ring macrolides in treating patients with diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) (34 patients) and bronchiectasis (BE) (40 patients). Oral administration of erythromycin (400 or 600 mg), roxithromycin (150 or 300 mg) or clarithromycin (200 or 400 mg) given daily for at least 2 months, was evaluated. The efficacy of erythromycin, rox...
متن کاملGastrointestinal motor-stimulating activity of macrolide antibiotics and analysis of their side effects on the canine gut.
For clarification of the nature of the side effects of macrolide antibiotics on the gastrointestinal tract, the motor-stimulating activity of these agents was studied in unanesthetized dogs. The results showed that erythromycin and oleandomycin, the 14-membered macrolides with two side chain sugars combined at C3 and C5 in a glycosidic linkage in parallel, strongly stimulate gastrointestinal mo...
متن کاملStructure-activity relationships of macrolides against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Existing 14, 15 and 16-membered macrolide antibiotics, while effective for other bacterial infections, including some mycobacteria, have not demonstrated significant efficacy in tuberculosis. Therefore an attempt was made to optimize this class for activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis through semisyntheses and bioassay. Approximately 300 macrolides were synthesized and screened for anti-...
