DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Quercetin, a plant flavonoid widely found in fruits and vegetables, is a potent antioxidant and anti- inflammatory. We recently showed that daily oral treatment with low levels of quercetin decreases oxidative stress, inflammation and prevents progression of lung disease in mice which display typical features of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) Our pilot studies also suggest that quercetin inhibits replication of rhinovirus, a major cause of COPD exacerbations. Finally, large epidemiological studies have suggested that a high- quercetin diet decreases the risk of COPD. Together, these data suggest that quercetin would be beneficial in the treatment of COPD. Nevertheless, key methodologic issues have not been resolved, including the dosage and frequency of supplementation, bioavailability, safety, dose-response relationship, or the appropriate biomarkers which reflect clinical outcomes in this disease. The overall goal of this application is to obtain the information necessary for large clinical trials in COPD. To accomplish this goal, we propose the following Specific Aims. 1. Determine if once-daily doses of quercetin are safe, acceptable and reach therapeutic concentrations in the plasma of patients with COPD. Using a quercetin formulation that has been "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA (Quercegen Pharma, Sudbury, MA), we will test the hypotheses that: 1) dietary flavonoid intake can be accurately monitored by questionnaire; and 2) daily supplementation of quercetin increases plasma quercetin levels in COPD patients; and 3) quercetin can be administered to patients with COPD of varying severity without adverse side effects. 2. Determine the effect of quercetin on oxidative stress, lung inflammation and pulmonary function in patients with COPD. We hypothesize that: 1) oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers can be safely and accurately measured in the serum and sputum of patients with COPD; 2) daily treatment with quercetin will reduce plasma and sputum markers of oxidative stress and inflammation; 3) daily treatment with quercetin will improve pulmonary function in patients with COPD. Results from these studies will provide data on the quercetin dosage and biological endpoints needed to carry out large clinical trials examining the efficacy of quercetin in COPD.

描述（由申请人提供）：槲皮素是一种在水果和蔬菜中广泛发现的植物类黄酮，是一种有效的抗氧化剂和抗炎药。我们最近表明，低槲皮素的每日口服治疗可降低氧化应激，炎症并防止小鼠的肺部疾病进展，这表现出慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）的典型特征，我们的初步性研究还表明槲皮素抑制了犀牛的复制，一种犀牛，一种COPD加重的主要原因。最后，大型流行病学研究表明，高槲皮素饮食降低了COPD的风险。总之，这些数据表明槲皮素对COPD的治疗将是有益的。然而，尚未解决关键方法论问题，包括补充剂量和频率，生物利用度，安全性，剂量反应关系或反映该疾病临床结果的适当生物标志物。该应用程序的总体目标是获取COPD中大型临床试验所需的信息。为了实现这一目标，我们提出以下特定目标。 1。确定槲皮素是否安全，可接受并在COPD患者的血浆中达到治疗浓度。使用槲皮素配方，该公式已被FDA（Quercegen Pharma，Sudbury，MA）“普遍认为是安全的”，我们将测试以下假设：1）可以通过问卷来准确监测饮食中的类黄酮摄入量； 2）每天补充槲皮素会增加COPD患者的血浆槲皮素水平； 3）槲皮素可以针对患有不同严重程度的COPD患者，而不会不良副作用。 2。确定槲皮素对COPD患者氧化应激，肺部炎症和肺功能的影响。我们假设：1）可以在COPD患者的血清和痰中安全，准确地测量氧化和炎性生物标志物； 2）槲皮素的每日治疗将减少氧化应激和炎症的血浆和痰标记； 3）槲皮素的每日治疗将改善COPD患者的肺功能。这些研究的结果将提供有关进行大型临床试验所需的槲皮素剂量和生物学终点的数据，以检查槲皮素在COPD中的疗效。
