PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
1. PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group: selective immunosuppressive agents, ATC
code: L04AA13
_Human pharmacology_
Leflunomide is a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic agent with
antiproliferative properties.
_Animal pharmacology_
Leflunomide is effective in animal models of arthritis and of other
autoimmune diseases
and
transplantation,
mainly
if
administered
during
the
sensitisation
phase.
It
has
immunomodulating/ immunosuppressive characteristics, acts as an
antiproliferative agent,
and displays anti-inflammatory properties. Leflunomide exhibits the
best protective effects
on animal models of autoimmune diseases when administered in the early
phase of the
disease progression.
_In vivo_, it is rapidly and almost completely metabolised to active
metabolite (A771726) which
is active _in vitro_, and is presumed to be responsible for the
therapeutic effect.
_Mode of action_
A771726, the active metabolite of leflunomide, inhibits the human
enzyme dihydroorotate
dehydrogenase (DHODH) and exhibits antiproliferative activity.
Clinical efficacy and safety
_Rheumatoid arthritis_
The efficacy of Arava in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis was
demonstrated in 4
controlled trials (1 in phase II and 3 in phase III). The phase II
trial, study YU203, randomised
402 subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis to placebo (n=102),
leflunomide 5 mg (n=95),
10 mg (n=101) or 25 mg/day (n=104). The treatment duration was 6
months.
