Verapamil attenuates oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in cigarette smoke (CS)-induced murine models of acute lung injury and CSE-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages via inhibiting the NF-κB pathway.

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe form of ALI, are characterized by overwhelming of lung inflammation, and no treatment is currently available to treat ALI/ARDS. Cigarette smoke (CS) is one of the prime causes to induce ALI/ARDS via oxidative stress. Despite extensive research, no appropriate therapy is currently available to treat ALI/ARDS.
