Pharmacological basis of Codonopsis Radix in COPD: Lobetyolin modulates Nrf2/NF-κB-mediated inflammation and oxidative stress

Key Points

• Lobetyolin significantly reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in COPD.
• Response variable shows a measured decrease in oxidative stress markers by 25% after treatment.
• Observational analysis demonstrates effects on nrf2 and nf-kb pathways related to oxidative stress.
• These findings highlight codonopsis radix as a potential therapeutic agent for COPD, warranting further studies.
