leflunomide and Colorectal Cancer

leflunomide has been researched along with Colorectal Cancer in 2 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
"Colorectal cancer has provided an important model to test the stem cell hypothesis of cancer origin, which implies that cancer arises as a result of genetic aberrations in stem cells leading to deregulation of the proliferation/differentiation balance."1.36Survivin is regulated by interleukin-4 in colon cancer stem cells. ( Di Stefano, AB; Dieli, F; Eterno, V; Höger, T; Iovino, F; Lombardo, Y; Stassi, G; Todaro, M, 2010)
