The synthesis of 6-Acetyl-7-[[5-(5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-3-propyl-2-thienyl- oxy)pentyl]oxy]-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid (1), a thiophene analogue of the leukotriene antagonist Ro 23-3544, is described. Compound 1 shows almost no effect on leukotriene D4 induced broncho-constriction on anesthesized guinea pigs.

Allergic rhinitis affects millions globally, causing significant discomfort and reducing the quality of life. This study investigates the metabolic alterations in murine mast cells (MC/9) under allergic rhinitis conditions induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, employing UHPLC-QTOF-MS-based untargeted and targeted metabolomics. The analysis identified 44 significantly regulated metabolites, including histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and ceramides.

The management of patients with overlapping asthma and bronchiectasis requires a tailored approach, starting with a comprehensive assessment of the patient's clinical profile, including the severity of asthma and the extent of bronchiectasis. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are often recommended, but their use should be carefully monitored because of the risk of increased infection. If the asthma is well controlled and the bronchiectasis remains stable, a gradual reduction in the dose of ICS may be considered.

Background: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are recommended treatment for mild asthma. We aimed to update the evidence on the efficacy and safety of ICS-containing regimens, leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA), and tiotropium relative to as-needed (AN) short-acting β2-agonists (SABA) in children (aged 6-11 years) and adolescents/adults.
Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of regular and AN treatment for mild asthma was conducted (CRD42022352384).

Asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) are common disorders of the respiratory tract that often coincide. Control of AR symptoms can improve asthma outcomes in patients with co-existing diseases. Our aim is to produce a systematic review of the effectiveness of conventional anti-AR medication for asthma outcomes in patients with both diseases.

Background: Prevalence of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in adult patients with severe asthma on biological therapy and their clinical significance have not been fully addressed, thus the aim of this study was to investigate them.
Methods: In this retrospective observational study, patients who were diagnosed with severe asthma and to whom biological therapy was prescribed between September 2015 and December 2020, were enrolled. The study was conducted at the Department of Allergic and Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases, Clinic for Lung Diseases Jordanovac, Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb.
