thalidomide and Muscle Disorders

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Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects.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

"This case shows that AL amyloidosis from light-chain deposition disease may predominantly affect the intestines, myocardium and the skeletal muscle and that lenalidomide may have a beneficial effect on the amyloidosis but should be given with caution for its potential arrhythmogenic and thrombogenic side-effects."7.79Sudden death possibly related to lenalidomide given for cardiac and muscle AL amyloidosis secondary to light chain deposition disease. ( Finsterer, J; Höftberger, R; Regele, H; Stöllberger, C; Wöhrer, A, 2013)
"Thalidomide was effective for muscular, cutaneous, and pulmonary involvement in our patient."5.32Successful treatment of muscle sarcoidosis with thalidomide. ( Lochmüller, H; Meindl, T; Müller-Felber, W; Schlotter-Weigel, B; Walter, MC, 2003)
