thalidomide and Hypertension, Portal

thalidomide has been researched along with Hypertension, Portal in 5 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Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects.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.

Hypertension, Portal: Abnormal increase of resistance to blood flow within the hepatic PORTAL SYSTEM, frequently seen in LIVER CIRRHOSIS and conditions with obstruction of the PORTAL VEIN.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In an open-label pilot study, 20 abstinent patients with stable alcoholic cirrhosis and oesophageal varices were recruited; 12 patients completed haemodynamic measurements before and after treatment with oxpentifylline (pentoxifylline) 1800 mg (n=6) or thalidomide 200 mg (n=6) daily for 2 weeks."9.11A pilot study to investigate the use of oxpentifylline (pentoxifylline) and thalidomide in portal hypertension secondary to alcoholic cirrhosis. ( Austin, AS; Clarke, D; Freeman, JG; Mahida, YR; Ryder, SD, 2004)
"Portal hypertension was induced by partial ligation of the portal vein (PVL)."5.29Thalidomide inhibits tumor necrosis factor alpha, decreases nitric oxide synthesis, and ameliorates the hyperdynamic circulatory syndrome in portal-hypertensive rats. ( Cadelina, G; Groszmann, RJ; Lopez-Talavera, JC; Merrill, W; Olchowski, J, 1996)

"Portal hypertension is a common complication of liver cirrhosis and significantly increases mortality and morbidity."1.42Thalidomide ameliorates portal hypertension via nitric oxide synthase independent reduced systolic blood pressure.
