bromhexine and Lung Diseases

bromhexine has been researched along with Lung Diseases in 12 studies

Bromhexine: A mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucus. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p744)
bromhexine : A substituted aniline that is 2,4-dibromoaniline which is substituted at position 6 by a [cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]methyl group. It is used (as the monohydrochloride salt) as a mucolytic for the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with productive cough (i.e. a cough characterised by the production of sputum).

Lung Diseases: Pathological processes involving any part of the LUNG.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" With regard to a possible therapeutic application in this context the effect of bromhexine and ambroxol on the activity of AM of of guinea-pigs and of patients with lung diseases was investigated."3.67[Modulation of alveolar macrophage activity by ambroxol, bromhexine and exogenous arachidonic acid]. ( Eckert, H; Grollmuss, H; Unger, U; Winsel, K, 1985)
"Ambroxol, a drug capable of elevating the phospholipid content in healthy rabbit lungs, was tested on two models of experimental lung injury, lung changes in sepsis induced by a peritonitis and in bromcarbamide intoxication."3.67Ambroxol increases the choline but not fatty acid incorporation into lung phospholipids in experimental lung disorders. ( Müller, B; von Wichert, P; Wilke, A, 1987)
"The clinical activity of trans-4-[(2-amino-3,5-dibromo-benzyl)-amino]-cyclohexanol-hydrochloride (ambroxol, NA 872) as well as its influence on lung function was examined in a total of 63 patients (34 suffering from silicosis, 28 from chronic obstructive bronchitis and 1 from cryptococcosis)."3.66[Therapeutic study on ambroxol in chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (author's transl)]. ( Curti, PC; Renovanz, HD, 1978)
