A novel disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, iguratimod, ameliorates murine arthritis by blocking IL-17 signaling, distinct from methotrexate and leflunomide.
Iguratimod, a novel disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, which is now used in clinics in China and Japan, has been confirmed as a highly efficacious and safe drug for rheumatoid arthritis therapy. The antiarthritic mechanism of iguratimod, especially compared with that of the classical disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, has not been elucidated. In this study, we conducted a comparative ana...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of different disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) on different events mediated by IL-15-activated lymphocytes. METHODS Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were isolated from healthy donors and activated with IL-15 after exposure to different DMARD: leflunomide, cyclosporin A, methotrexate, mycophenolic acid, FK-506, sulphasalazine and sodium aurothiomala...
متن کاملJak Inhibitor Clinical Response in Polyarthritis: Case Report.
The heterogeneity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presentation and molecular signature of RA subclasses in patients with early changes of small peripheral joints still remains a challenging problem. In clinical setting, classification of the disease subtypes is not possible and treatment adjustment is based on the continuous Disease Activity Score for disease severity recognition. A new approach i...
متن کاملWill pharmacogenetics allow better prediction of methotrexate toxicity and efficacy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
Methotrexate (MTX) remains the most commonly used disease modifying antirheumatic drug in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because of its cost and experience in its use, despite the availability of new treatments such as leflunomide and the biological agents. However, a significant number of patients with RA either do not benefit from the drug or are unable to tolerate it. Pharmacogenetic approaches m...
متن کاملReappraisal of the clinical use of leflunomide in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Leflunomide is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) that has been in routine clinical use for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis for a decade. In RA, clinical trials of up to two years' duration showed that leflunomide monotherapy was equivalent to methotrexate in clinical and radiographic disease outcomes (tender and swollen joint counts, physician and...
