quinacrine and Asthma, Bronchial

quinacrine has been researched along with Asthma, Bronchial in 5 studies

Quinacrine: An acridine derivative formerly widely used as an antimalarial but superseded by chloroquine in recent years. It has also been used as an anthelmintic and in the treatment of giardiasis and malignant effusions. It is used in cell biological experiments as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2.
quinacrine : A member of the class of acridines that is acridine substituted by a chloro group at position 6, a methoxy group at position 2 and a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]nitrilo group at position 9.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" For this, extended subacute ovalbumin mice model of asthma was developed; these mice showed an increased expression of profibrotic mediators, subepithelial fibrosis, and goblet cell metaplasia along with airway inflammation, increased Th(2) cytokines, allergen-specific IgE, IgG(1), increased cytosolic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)), and airway hyperresponsiveness."3.75Mepacrine inhibits subepithelial fibrosis by reducing the expression of arginase and TGF-beta1 in an extended subacute mouse model of allergic asthma.
