Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, and its development is mainly associated with tobacco/biomass smoke-induced oxidative stress. Hence, targeting systemic and local oxidative stress with agents that can balance the antioxidant/redox system can be expected to be useful in the treatment of COPD. Preclinical and clinical trials have revealed that antioxidants/redox modulators can detoxify free radicals and oxidants, control expression of redox and glutathione biosynthesis genes, chromatin remodeling and inflammatory gene expression; and are especially useful in preventing COPD exacerbations. In this review, various novel approaches and problems associated with these approaches in COPD are reviewed.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)是全球主要的致死和致残原因,其发展主要与烟草/生物燃料烟雾引起的氧化应激有关。因此,用能够平衡抗氧化/氧化还原系统的药物靶向全身和局部氧化应激有望对 COPD 的治疗有用。临床前和临床试验表明,抗氧化剂/氧化还原调节剂可以解毒自由基和氧化剂,控制氧化还原和谷胱甘肽生物合成基因、染色质重塑和炎症基因表达的表达;并且在预防 COPD 恶化方面特别有用。在这篇综述中,我们回顾了 COPD 中与这些方法相关的各种新方法和问题。
