probucol and Hypersensitivity

probucol has been researched along with Hypersensitivity in 1 studies

Probucol: A drug used to lower LDL and HDL cholesterol yet has little effect on serum-triglyceride or VLDL cholesterol. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p993).
probucol : A dithioketal that is propane-2,2-dithiol in which the hydrogens attached to both sulfur atoms are replaced by 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl groups. An anticholesteremic drug with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is used to treat high levels of cholesterol in blood.

Hypersensitivity: Altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular antigen.

"These findings indicate that alpha-tocopherol and probucol suppress allergic responses in asthma model mice, although these two drugs cause suppression in different ways that are unrelated to antioxidation."7.73Effects of alpha tocopherol and probucol supplements on allergen-induced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in a mouse model of allergic asthma. ( Murata, T; Nagai, H; Okamoto, N; Tamai, H; Tanaka, H, 2006)
