Abstract
We evaluated the effect of roxithromycin on cytokine production and neutrophil attachment to human airway epithelial cells. Roxithromycin suppressed production of interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-6, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. It inhibited neutrophil adhesion to epithelial cells. Roxithromycin modulates local recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells, which may have relevance to its efficacy in airway diseases.
