The Anti-Inflammatory Drug Leflunomide Is an Agonist of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor
BACKGROUND The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the toxicity and biological activity of dioxins and related chemicals. The AhR influences a variety of processes involved in cellular growth and differentiation, and recent studies have suggested that the AhR is a potential target for immune-mediated diseases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory and Anti-arthritic Effects of a Novel Leflunomide Analogue, UTL-5b (GBL-5b).
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common disease characterized by chronic inflammation and irreversible destruction of articular cartilage and bone. In this report, we examined the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects of a novel leflunomide analogue, UTL-5b (also known as GBL-5b), for potential RA treatment. Using a carrageenan-induced edema study in rats, UTL-5b exhibited a better anti-in...

متن کاملThe anti-rheumatic drug, leflunomide, synergizes with MEK inhibition to suppress melanoma growth
Cutaneous melanoma, which develops from the pigment producing cells called melanocytes, is the most deadly form of skin cancer. Unlike the majority of other cancers, the incidence rates of melanoma are still on the rise and the treatment options currently available are being hindered by resistance, limited response rates and adverse toxicity. We have previously shown that an FDA approved drug l...
