New Findings: What is the central question of this study? What is the mechanism of wheat-induced pulmonary inflammation and how does a hydrazide derivative modulate it? What is the main finding and its importance? A hydrazide derivative significantly reduced wheat-induced pulmonary inflammation in a rat model mainly by down-regulating inflammatory cell infiltration, pathological lesions in the lungs and the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, COX-1, COX-2 and T-cell proliferation.

Abstract: We investigated the ameliorative anti-inflammatory effect of a previously synthesized hydrazide derivative (N'-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-carbohydrazide; MD) as an immunomodulator in a newly developed allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation (AIPI) rat model. Wheat and thresher dust were used as allergens to induce pulmonary inflammation while MD was used to reverse the inflammatory response.
