The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells need and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
Lung inflammation is a class of diseases associated with the inflammation of the lung tissues.
According to the statistics provided by the Lung Association over 3 million Canadians are affected by one of five serious respiratory diseases – asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, tuberculosis (TB), and cystic fibrosis.
In 2017, 28,600 Canadians were diagnosed with lung cancer, represented 14% of all new cancer cases. Lung cancer caused the death of 21,100 Canadians in the same year.
The exact causes of lung disease are not identified. However, epidemiological studies suggested
being overweight, smoking, family history, smoking are some of the most prevalent factors associated with the onset of the disease.

Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from the foreign invasion.
Acute inflammation occurs quickly or within the hours and lasts a few days or weeks and the damaged tissues are healed themselves after all pathogens are killed off.
Chronic inflammation is a low-grade inflammation caused by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the invasive pathogens that occurred in the acute phase of infection.
Any inflammation that lasts more than 8 weeks is considered chronic inflammation.
Believe it or not, worldwide, 3 of 5 death are results from chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.
According to the analysis of mice induced COPD by the administration of 25 μL of PM2.5 suspension through intranasal route daily for 1 week,
* The administration of ursolic acid derivative caused significant suppression of aforementioned parameters including oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokines in COPD mice in a dose-dependent manner.

Ursolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belongings to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in apples, basil, bilberries, cranberries, peppermint, lavender, oregano, hawthorn, prunes., etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of lung diseases, researchers examined the effect of synthesized ursolic acid derivatives on mice model of PM2.5-induced COPD in vivo.

* COPD mice showed elevated levels of oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factors-α and interleukin-6 in the mice bronchoalveolar fluids.
* Furthermore, the inflammatory cell infiltration in COPD mice was inhibited by the treatment of ursolic acid derivative.
* More importantly, The ursolic acid derivative treatment also increased the level of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and inhibited the lung injury in mice with COPD.
After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, " ursolic acid derivative inhibits pulmonary tissue damage in mice through suppression of inflammatory cytokine and oxidative enzymes. Therefore, ursolic acid derivative can be of therapeutic importance for the treatment of PM2.5-induced COPD".
Taken altogether, Ursolic acid may be considered adjunct therapies in the treatment of lung diseases associated with chronic inflammation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
