How to use

In Vitro:

Fudosteine (FDS), a unique mucolytic antioxidant, shows a stronger scavenging effect of Peroxynitrite than N-acetyl-cysteine on DCDHF oxidation in vitro and in sputum macrophages, and also on Peroxynitrite-induced BSA nitration. Fudosteine (0.1 mM) reduces Peroxynitrite-enhanced interleukin (IL)-1beta-induced IL-8 release and restores corticosteroid sensitivity defected by Peroxynitrite more potently than those induced by H(2)O(2) in A549 airway epithelial cells. Fudosteine significantly inhibits increases in GRO/CINC-1 at 10-100 mg/kg, and neutrophils and goblet cells at 30 and 100 mg/kg. Fudosteine inhibits goblet cell hyperplasia by inhibiting GRO/CINC-1 production and/or neutrophil migration. Fudosteine treatment reduces the expression levels of p-p38 MAPK and p-ERK in vivo and of p-ERK in vitro. Fudosteine inhibits MUC5AC mucin hypersecretion by reducing MUC5AC gene expression and the effects of fudosteine are associated with the inhibition of extracellular signal-related kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in vivo and extracellular signal-related kinase in vitro. Fudosteine significantly suppresses blood flow of tracheal microvasculature increased by SO(2) exposure. Fudosteine scavenges superoxide anion generated from rat neutrophils, and enzymatically generated from xanthine oxidase-acetaldehyde reaction.

In Vivo:

Fudosteine (500 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly increases the amount of dye excreted into the respiratory tract. Fudosteine increases chloride ion concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage of rats.
