Mucus in Airways (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Other

Overview

Mucus in the airways is a protective secretion produced by the respiratory tract. As a drug target, the aim is to modify the physical properties of airway mucus, primarily through expectorants, to reduce its viscosity and facilitate its expulsion, thereby improving breathing in conditions characterized by excessive or thickened mucus.

Mechanism of action

Expectorants thin/hydrate mucus → reduce viscosity → facilitate expulsion

Biological functions

Protection of airway surfacesMoisture maintenanceClearance of pathogens/particulates
