leflunomide and Peritonitis

leflunomide has been researched along with Peritonitis in 1 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.

Peritonitis: INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The changes of plasma dihydrorhodamine 123 oxidation level, the myeloperoxidase activity, and extravasations of Evans blue dye of lung in wild-type mice with or without c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase inhibitor; c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase1 mice and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase1 mice; and chimeric mice (wild-type --> wild-type, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase1 --> wild-type) with Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced peritonitis were determined to evaluate the role of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase signaling of the hematopoietic cells in peritonitis-induced lung damage."3.76Peritonitis-induced peroxynitrite and lung damage depends on c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase signaling of hematopoietic cells.
