Active Principles of Tetradenia riparia; II. Antispasmodic Activity of 8(14), 15-Sandaracopimaradiene-7α, 18-diol [PDF]
, 1987 Tetradenia riparia is one of the most popular medicinal plants in Rwanda. Previously, several new substances have been isolated from the leaves, including a new diterpenediol, i.e. 8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-7α,18-diol. This new diterpenediol exhibits

Pharmacology of airway afferent nerve activity [PDF]
, 2001 Afferent nerves in the airways serve to regulate breathing pattern, cough, and airway autonomic neural tone. Pharmacologic agents that influence afferent nerve activity can be subclassified into compounds that modulate activity by indirect means (e.g ...

Effects of naphthoquinone on airway responsiveness in the presence or absence of antigen in mice [PDF]
, 2007 We have recently demonstrated that naphthoquinone (NQ), one of extractable chemical compounds of diesel exhaust particles (DEP), enhances antigen-related airway inflammation with goblet cell hyperplasia in mice (Inoue et al.

Dimethylthiourea protects against chlorine induced changes in airway function in a murine model of irritant induced asthma [PDF]
, 2010 Background Exposure to chlorine (Cl2) causes airway injury, characterized by oxidative damage, an influx of inflammatory cells and airway hyperresponsiveness. We hypothesized that Cl2-induced airway injury may be attenuated by antioxidant treatment, even
