Nafamostat Mesilate, a Potent Serine Protease Inhibitor, Inhibits Airway Eosinophilic Inflammation and Airway Epithelial Remodeling in a Murine Model of Allergic Asthma

To clarify the involvement of serine proteases in the development of allergic airway inflammation, we investigated the effect of nafamostat mesilate, a serine protease inhibitor, in a murine model of allergic asthma. Mice were sensitized to ovalbumin (OA) with alum and then exposed to 1% OA for 30 m...
