quinacrine and Lupus Erythematosus, Discoid

quinacrine has been researched along with Lupus Erythematosus, Discoid in 58 studies

Quinacrine: An acridine derivative formerly widely used as an antimalarial but superseded by chloroquine in recent years. It has also been used as an anthelmintic and in the treatment of giardiasis and malignant effusions. It is used in cell biological experiments as an inhibitor of phospholipase A2.
quinacrine : A member of the class of acridines that is acridine substituted by a chloro group at position 6, a methoxy group at position 2 and a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]nitrilo group at position 9.

Lupus Erythematosus, Discoid: A chronic form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, CUTANEOUS) in which the skin lesions mimic those of the systemic form but in which systemic signs are rare. It is characterized by the presence of discoid skin plaques showing varying degrees of edema, erythema, scaliness, follicular plugging, and skin atrophy. Lesions are surrounded by an elevated erythematous border. The condition typically involves the face and scalp, but widespread dissemination may occur.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cutaneous lupus erythematosus has a variety of clinical presentations, but treatment is similar for the different forms."2.41Current treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus. ( Werth, V, 2001)
" Many of these reviews, while generally excellent, have propagated some apparent misconceptions by disregarding or de-emphasizing data suggesting that irreversible retinal toxicity due to antimalarials can be easily avoided by judicious daily dosage and regular ophthalmologic follow-up."2.36Antimalarials and ophthalmologic safety. ( Olansky, AJ, 1982)
"Methods Mepacrine was added to 46 systemic lupus erythematosus patients unresponsive to treatment with the following drug combinations: hydroxychloroquine + prednisone + immunosuppressive drugs ( n = 24), hydroxychloroquine + prednisone ( n = 16), hydroxychloroquine + prednisone + retinoids ( n = 2), hydroxychloroquine alone ( n = 1), hydroxychloroquine + one immunosuppressive drug ( n = 1), hydroxychloroquine + prednisone + one immunosuppressive drug + belimumab ( n = 1) or hydroxychloroquine + prednisone + belimumab ( n = 1)."1.48Combined mepacrine-hydroxychloroquine treatment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and refractory cutaneous and articular activity. ( Agesta, N; Martinez-Zapico, A; Ortego-Centeno, N; Porta, S; Ríos, R; Ruiz-Irastorza, G; Ugarte, A, 2018)
" After a 2-month course of treatment with hydroxychloroquine dosage of 200 mg per day and a break of 3 months between courses, we observed a complete remission."1.43Unilateral unique Lupus tumidus: pathogenetic mystery and diagnostic problem. ( Bakardzhiev, I; Chokoeva, AA; Krasnaliev, I; Lotti, T; Tana, C; Tchernev, G; Wollina, U, 2016)
"Drug-induced psychosis resulted from the administration of quinacrine hydrochloride at a dosage of 100 mg twice daily for the treatment of discoid lupus."1.27Antimalarial psychosis revisited. ( Evans, RL; Khalid, S; Kinney, JL, 1984)
