Antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress in COPD

 

Thiol antioxidants and mucolytic agents, such as glutathione, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, N-acystelyn, erdosteine, fudosteine and carbocysteine; Nrf2 activators; and dietary polyphenols (curcumin, resveratrol, and green tea catechins/quercetin) have been reported to reduce the number of free radicals and oxidants as well as cause the inhibition of inflammatory responses in cases of COPD exacerbation.
