leflunomide and Peripheral Nerve Diseases

leflunomide has been researched along with Peripheral Nerve Diseases in 11 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.

"Cases of toxic neuropathy have been observed during treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with leflunomide."3.74Peripheral neuropathy associated with leflunomide: is there a risk patient profile? ( Bentaberry, F; Dehais, J; Dumoulin, C; Haramburu, F; Martin, K; Miremont-Salamé, G; Schaeverbeke, T, 2007)
"Two cases of leflunomide-induced peripheral neuropathy are described; in a 60-year-old woman with sero-negative polyarthralgia-myalgia syndrome and a 65-year-old man with sero-negative rheumatoid arthritis, both treated with leflunomide at 20mg/day."3.74Leflunomide-induced peripheral neuropathy.
