Abstract

Indirect assessments have shown a superior lung deposition of HFA-BDP (Ventolair/Qvar) compared to CFC-BDP (Aerobec). The aim of this study was to assess the concentrations of BDP and its metabolite 17-BMP in airways and peripheral tissue from resected lung specimens after inhalation of these BDP formulations. Immediately prior to surgery for lung cancer, 10 patients inhaled 1000 microg of either CFC-BDP (n = 5) or HFA-BDP (n = 5) Mouthwash was collected after inhalation, and serum before, during, and after surgery. There was no significant difference between CFC and HFA in the concentration of 17-BMP in bronchi (median, 4365 vs 4121 pg/g tissue). After CFC, concentrations of 17-BMP were lower in peripheral tissue (1424 vs 2089 pg/g; ANCOVA, p = 0.001) and in serum taken immediately after inhalation (688 vs 1219 pg/ml, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the CFC group showed a higher concentration of BDP in the mouthwash (17,660 vs 1320 ng/ml, p < 0.05), but the concentration of 17-BMP was lower (452 vs 1028 ng/ml, n.s.). These findings indicate a predominantly peripheral deposition of HFA-BDP, in line with previous data. They also provide evidence for a faster uptake and metabolism of HFA-BDP, probably because BDP is dissolved in HFA and ...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
