Abstract Pulmonary inflammation is a common pathological feature of a variety of diseases, ofwhich successful therapy with currently available anti-inflammatory drugs is limited byresistance and adverse side effects. Using the ovalbumin-induced mouse allergic asthma model,the present study shows that treatments with pH modifiers, particularly simple acids such asacetate or hydrochloric acid, effectively depleted inflammatory cells in the lungs and blood aswell as hyperplastic lung tissue cells while preserving the structure of the blood vessels and lungparenchyma. The acid treatments also suppressed mucus hypersecretion. These resultsdemonstrated pH modifiers as a new class of broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory agents with antiproliferationand mucus suppression activities.

Using the ovalbumin-induced mouse allergic asthma model, the present study shows that treatments with pH modifiers, particularly simple acids such as acetate or hydrochloric acid, effectively depleted inflammatory cells in the lungs and blood as well as hyperplastic lung tissue cells while preserving the structure of the blood vessels and lung parenchyma. The acid treatments also suppressed mucus hypersecretion. These results demonstrated pH modifiers as a new class of broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory agents with anti-proliferation and mucus suppression activities.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have anti-cancer (chemopreventive) properties; however, side effects preclude their long-term use. NOSH-NSAIDs, designed as safer alternatives, are novel hybrid chimaeras that release nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). NOSH-NSAIDs are gastrointestinally safe yet retain all the pharmacological properties of their native NSAID. NOSHNSAIDs are orders of magnitude more potent than their conventional counterparts in inhibiting the growth of various human cancer cell lines of different tissue origins, adenomatous, epithelial and lymphocytic. This growth inhibition is a result of a reduction in cell proliferation and cell cycle arrest, leading to increased apoptosis. In xenograft mouse models of cancer, NOSH-aspirin was better than normal aspirin as a chemopreventive agent; it dose-dependently inhibited tumour growth and tumour mass. NOSH-naproxen was significantly more efficacious than normal naproxen in reducing the growth of established tumours.

In this minireview, we refer to recent results as far as the Platelet Activating Factor (PAF) inhibitors are concerned. At first, results of organic compounds (natural and synthetic ones and specific and nonspecific) as inhibitors of PAF are reported. Emphasis is given on recent results about a new class of the so-called metal-based inhibitors of PAF. A small library of 30 metal complexes has been thus created; their anti-inflammatory activity has been further evaluated owing to their inhibitory effect against PAF in washed rabbit platelets (WRPs). In addition, emphasis has also been placed on the identification of preliminarystructure-activityrelationships for the different classes of metal-based inhibitors.
