タイトル Attenuation of LPS-Induced Lung Injury by Benziodarone via Reactive Oxygen Species Reduction.
ジャーナル Int J Mol Sci
Abstract As overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes various diseases, antioxidants that scavenge ROS, or inhibitors that suppress excessive ROS generation, can be used as therapeutic agents. From a library of approved drugs, we screened compounds that reduced superoxide anions produced by pyocyanin-stimulated leukemia cells and identified benzbromarone. Further investigation of several of its analogues showed that benziodarone possessed the highest activity in reducing superoxide anions without causing cytotoxicity. In contrast, in a cell-free assay, benziodarone induced only a minimal decrease in superoxide anion levels generated by xanthine oxidase. These results suggest that benziodarone is an inhibitor of NADPH oxidases in the plasma membrane but is not a superoxide anion scavenger. We investigated the preventive effect of benziodarone on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine lung injury as a model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Intratracheal administration of benziodarone attenuated tissue damage and inflammation via its ROS-reducing activity. These results indicate the potential application of benziodarone as a therapeutic agent against diseases caused by ROS overproduction.
