Dube, Thesis, Artemisia afra, University Western Cape, 2006. Mucus overproductionis one of the most important pathological features of chronic inflammatory airway diseases that contribute to morbidity and mortality. It reduces ciliar motility, damages local defensive functions and promotes bacterial colonization. As a natural flavonoid luteolin has multiple biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. A Chinese study found that the administration of luteolin effectively attenuates mucus overproduction. Mei-Li Shen, Chen-Hung, Luteolin attenuates airway mucus overproduction.
