Resveratrol (Res), a phytoalexin antioxidant from red grapes, has anti‐inflammatory properties.7, 8 Studies in vivo have confirmed that Res can attenuate the severity of ALI in animal models.9, 10 Res or Res‐curcumin hybrids can significantly attenuate disease severity of ALI, accompanied with lower production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as TNF‐alpha, IL‐1beta, IL‐6, IL‐12, IL‐33, MIP‐2 and IL‐18. This evidence concerns the gene IL33 and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
