噻托溴铵在治疗哮喘中的作用
2012/08/28
摘要
哮喘是一种慢性呼吸道疾病,表现为继发于过敏性炎症和支气管平滑肌过度收缩导致的可逆性气道阻塞。研究显示,胆碱能信号参与了哮喘的病理生理学。然而,直到引入长效抗胆碱能药物噻托溴铵,抗胆碱能药物治疗哮喘的有效性才在急性哮喘发作中得到证实。近期的研究显示,噻托溴铵有望用于哮喘的治疗,这引起了临床医生的兴趣,期待将抗胆碱能药物用于哮喘的管理。本文对噻托溴铵的药理学特征、对炎症细胞的潜在作用和其目前治疗哮喘的状况进行介绍。

Abstract
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction that is secondary to an allergic inflammation and excessive smooth muscle contraction. Cholinergic signals were known to contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of asthma. However, the use of anti-cholinergic agents in asthma has been justified only in acute asthma exacerbations, until tiotropium bromide, a long-acting anti-cholinergic agent was introduced. Recent reports showing a promising role of tiotropium in the treatment of asthma have aroused interest of the use of anti-cholinergic agent for the management of asthma. This report describes pharmacological characteristics, potential effects on inflammatory cells, and the current status of tiotropium in the treatment of asthma.
