A statistically significant QSAR model describing the bioactivity of bronchodilatory active 4H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-3-carbonitriles (N = 41, n = 8, R(2) = 0.824, R(2)cv = 0.724, F = 18.749, s(2) = 0.0018) was obtained employing CODESSA-Pro software. The bronchodilatory active 4H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-3-carbonitriles 17-57 were synthesized through a facile approach via reaction of 1-alkyl-4-piperidones 1-4 with ylidenemalononitriles 5-16 in methanol in the presence of sodium. The bronchodilation properties of 17-57 were investigated in vitro using isolated guinea pig tracheal rings pre-contracted with histamine (standard method) and compared with theophylline (standard reference). Most of the compounds synthesized exhibit promising bronchodilation properties especially, compounds 25 and 28.

Theobromine (TBR) is a methylxanthine known for its bronchodilatory and stimulatory effects. This research evaluated the vitality, capacitation patterns, oxidative characteristics, microbial profile and expression of capacitation-associated proteins (CatSper1/2, sodium bicarbonate cotransporter [NBC], protein kinases A [PKA] and C [PKC] and adenylate cyclase 10 [ADCY10]) in cryopreserved bovine spermatozoa (n = 30) in the absence (cryopreserved control [Ctrl]) or presence of different TBR concentrations (12.5, 25, and 50 µM) in egg yolk extender.

Article Synopsis
- Exacerbations in COPD are serious events that can worsen lung function and impair quality of life, highlighting the need for effective medication to manage them.
- Ensifentrine is a new drug that works as a dual inhibitor to reduce inflammation and open airways, and the study aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing COPD exacerbation rates.
- The analysis from two phase 3 trials involving nearly 1,000 patients showed that ensifentrine significantly reduced both the frequency and risk of severe COPD exacerbations compared to a placebo across various patient subgroups.

Acute severe asthma, formerly named status asthmaticus, is defined as a life-threatening asthma exacerbation that is refractory to the current standards of treatment such as the use of beta-agonists and epinephrine. This complication of asthma affects up to 15% of individuals with asthma and despite critical care treatment and hospitalization, there remains a staggeringly high 10-18% mortality rate in an intensive care unit setting. The addition of ketamine to the arsenal of acute severe asthma treatment due to its rapid onset, variable routes of administration, and overall improved clinical efficacy in treatment-refractory cases has been well investigated and documented.
