| Research Abstract |
Chronic allergic airway inflammation induced refractory asthma. Especially transcription factor NF-kappa B plays central roll in these inflammations. We analyze inhibitory effect of IMD-0354, which specific I kappa-beta-kinase inhibitor, on bronchial hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation and remodeling in airway. IMD-0354 reduce airway hyperresponsiveness, the production of Th2 cytokines, goblet cell hyperplasia, and bronchial smooth muscle hypertrophy. IMD-0354 had no adverse effects in this study. These results indicate the possibility of anti-asthmatic effects of this drug.
