thalidomide and Eye Abnormalities

thalidomide has been researched along with Eye Abnormalities in 33 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Eye Abnormalities: Congenital absence of or defects in structures of the eye; may also be hereditary.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To review the association of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in individuals manifesting thalidomide embryopathy and Möbius sequence and compare them with three new studies in which ASD was also associated with ocular and systemic malformations: (1) a Swedish study of individuals with CHARGE association (Coloboma, Heart, choanal Atresia, developmental or growth Retardation, Genital anomaly, and Ear involvement); (2) a Swedish study of Goldenhar syndrome; and (3) Brazilian Möbius syndrome (sequence) study."3.72Autism with ophthalmologic malformations: the plot thickens. ( Bandim, JM; Gillberg, C; Johansson, M; Miller, MT; Strömland, K; Ventura, L, 2004)
"5 ml dimethylformamide (DMF) on day 10, 11, or 12 of the pregnancy."3.66Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of thalidomide in rats. ( Parkhie, M; Webb, M, 1983)
"We found that Duane syndrome and its variants were prominent in individuals who were exposed to thalidomide early in the sensitive period (days 20 to 26±)."2.47What can we learn from the thalidomide experience: an ophthalmologic perspective. ( Miller, MT; Strömland, KK, 2011)
"Thalidomide is a very potent teratogen capable of causing severe systemic malformations if the fetus is exposed during the sensitive period."2.45Thalidomide and misoprostol: Ophthalmologic manifestations and associations both expected and unexpected. ( Miller, MT; Strömland, K; Ventura, L, 2009)
