4-Hydroxychalcone attenuates ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation and oxidative stress by activating Nrf2/GPx4 pathway.

Asthma is a lung condition characterized by impaired respiratory function and an apparent infiltration of inflammatory cells. Chalcones are substances that have attracted considerable interest in the disciplines of pharmaceutical chemistry and drug discovery due to their diverse biochemical processes, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, and others, but whether they can be used in asthma treatment has yet to be investigated.
