Abstract

The effect of a synthetic elastase inhibitor was studied in experimental emphysema. The development of emphysema was totally prevented by this material. In the authors' opinion the administration of synthetic elastase inhibitors can be considered as a new possibility in the treatment of pulmonary emphysema.
