New potential targets to modulate neutrophil function in inflammation

Mini Rev Med Chem. 2009 Feb;9(2):153-68. doi: 10.2174/138955709787316092.

Abstract

The importance of neutrophils in human disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and COPD has prompted the search for drugs capable to slow down neutrophil-dependent inflammation, without interference with innate immune responses. In this review, we summarize new potential drugs targets against neutrophils mediated inflammatory responses.
