indomethacin and Bronchiectasis

indomethacin has been researched along with Bronchiectasis in 6 studies

Indomethacin: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES.
indometacin : A member of the class of indole-3-acetic acids that is indole-3-acetic acid in which the indole ring is substituted at positions 1, 2 and 5 by p-chlorobenzoyl, methyl, and methoxy groups, respectively. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used in the treatment of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis and tendinitis.

Bronchiectasis: Persistent abnormal dilatation of the bronchi.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Bronchiectasis is associated with sputum containing high levels of the proteolytic enzyme elastase, which is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease."5.29In vivo study of indomethacin in bronchiectasis: effect on neutrophil function and lung secretion. ( Hill, SL; Johnson, MM; Llewellyn-Jones, CG; Mitchell, JL; Okafor, VC; Pye, A; Stockley, RA, 1995)
"Indomethacin suppository and aspirin inhalation reduced the amounts of sputum in the patients with bronchiectasis and chronic bronchitis."3.68Effect of cyclooxygenase inhibitor on excessive sputum. ( Aizawa, H; Ikeda, T; Inoue, H; Koto, H; Miyagawa, Y; Shigematsu, N, 1991)
"To determine whether the involvement of thromboxane A2 in bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is specific to asthma, we examined the effects of a selective inhibitor of thromboxane synthetase (OKY-046) and a cyclooxygenase inhibitor (indomethacin) on bronchial responsiveness to methacholine in normal subjects and patients with chronic bronchitis, diffuse bronchiectasis, and intrinsic bronchial asthma."3.68Attenuating effect of a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor (OKY-046) on bronchial responsiveness to methacholine is specific to bronchial asthma. ( Fujimura, M; Matsuda, T; Sakamoto, S, 1990)
"Bronchiectasis is associated with sputum containing high levels of the proteolytic enzyme elastase, which is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease."1.29In vivo study of indomethacin in bronchiectasis: effect on neutrophil function and lung secretion.
