Asthma
Therapeutics:
New treatment options and emerging drug discovery targets.
“The
only new class of drug developed in the last 30 years are anti-leukotrienes,
which are far less effective than inhaled corticosteroids. New
bronchodilators have been difficult to develop as new drugs are
less effective than b2-agonists and have more side effects. Mediator
antagonists have proved disappointing as so many mediators are
involved in asthma. A number of emerging targets are however especially
promising including IL-13, TACE inhibitors, IL-10, dissociated
steroids, PDE4, IgE and vaccine therapies.”
