The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)
