Описание

Suplatast tosylate is a unique dimethylsulfonium salt marketed in Japan for the treatment of bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis. Suplatast tosylate is a potent inhibitor of IgE synthesis without suppressing IgM and IgG. The mechanism of action for suplatast tosylate is thought to be via the inhibition of interleukin-4 and interleukin-6 production by T-cells at the gene level. In allergic patients, suplatast tosylate markedly improved clinical symptoms which correlated with a significant decrease in serum IgE antibody levels.

Использование

Suplatast Tosilate is a novel capsular anti-asthmatic agent that suppresses both IgE production, IL-4 and IL-5 synthesis with IC50 above 100 μM.

Биологическая активность

Th2 cytokine inhibitor that attenuates IL-2, IL-5 and IL-13 production and has no effect on IFN- γ production. Acts as an immunoregulator that suppresses IgE production, eosinophil infiltration and histamine release. Exhibits antiasthmatic, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activity in vivo and is orally active.
