leflunomide and Crohn Disease

leflunomide has been researched along with Crohn Disease in 5 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.

Crohn Disease: A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The primary end point was steroid-free remission, and secondary end points were changes in the Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) and steroid intake, responsiveness of arthralgias and adverse events."2.73Treatment of Crohn's disease with leflunomide as second-line immunosuppression : a phase 1 open-label trial on efficacy, tolerability and safety. ( Galle, PR; Gerts, AL; Holtmann, MH; Neurath, MF; Weinman, A, 2008)
"Leflunomide was well tolerated and resulted in a significant reduction in the H-B score, global assessment and serologic parameters in 8/12 patients."1.32Leflunomide treatment of Crohn's disease patients intolerant to standard immunomodulator therapy. ( Binion, DG; Csuka, ME; Emmons, J; Knox, JF; Prajapati, DN; Saeian, K, 2003)
