leflunomide and Atopic Hypersensitivity

leflunomide has been researched along with Atopic Hypersensitivity in 3 studies

Leflunomide: An isoxazole derivative that inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, the fourth enzyme in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. It is used an immunosuppressive agent in the treatment of RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS and PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS.
leflunomide : A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 5-methyl-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid with the anilino group of 4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline. The prodrug of teriflunomide.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"When uridine was added to the cell culture, this molecule's effect on cell proliferation was completely restored, whereas the antibody production was partially restored."1.30Oral administration of leflunomide (HWA486) results in prominent suppression of immunoglobulin E formation in a rat type 1 allergy model. ( Amano, Y; Kitagawa, H; Mizushima, Y; Ogata, K, 1999)
"When leflunomide was administered both at the time of primary and subsequent immunizations, reductions in total and specific serum IgE levels of > 80% and > 38%, respectively, were observed (P < 0."1.30Inhibition of murine IgE and immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity responses to ovalbumin by the immunomodulatory agent leflunomide. ( Bartlett, RR; Jarman, ER; Kuba, A; Montermann, E; Reske-Kunz, AB, 1999)
