描述 | Leflunomide is a low-molecular weight, synthetic, oral agent specifically developed for immunosuppression. Leflunomide reduces the clinical symptoms and signs of RA(rheumatoid arthritis), improves health related quality of life, and retards structural damage. Leflunomide has been evaluated in RA patients as monotherapy and in combination with methotrexate[3]. Leflunomide itself induces AHR-ARNT interaction to inhibit hepatic CRP production and attenuate bone erosion in CRPL (CRPLower, CRPL) arthritic rats[4]. A significant elevation of liver enzymes in leflunomide-treated mice (10 mg/kg) and histopathological examination revealed higher necro-inflammatory scores in leflunomide-treated mice. Furthermore, leflunomide-treated mice (5 or 10 mg/kg) showed greater staining for NFκB compared to vehicle control[5]. Compared with cyclophosphamide, low-dose leflunomide in combination with prednisone showed both effectiveness and safety in the induction therapy of proliferative lupus nephritis in Chinese patients[6]. |
