Disease relevance of Ke Tas

 

Psychiatry related information on Ke Tas

  • These results indicate a dose-dependent protective effect of ibudilast against cerebrovascular white matter lesions and suggest a potential use for ibudilast in the treatment of vascular dementia [5].
 

High impact information on Ke Tas

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ke Tas

 

Biological context of Ke Tas

  • Similar to topical application, i.v. KC-404 (0.5 mg/kg) produced pial arteriolar dilation without significantly altering arterial blood pressure [9].
  • 2. Ibudilast was a non-selective inhibitor of partially purified cyclic nucleotide PDE isoenzymes from pig aorta and bovine tracheal smooth muscle, exhibiting only moderate potency against bovine tracheal PDE IV (IC50 = 12 +/- 4 microM, n = 3) [10].
  • These data also suggest that KC-404 produces cerebral vasodilation predominantly by potentiating prostanoid-mediated dilation [9].
  • Ibudilast at 10 - 100 microM significantly attenuated the H(2)O(2)-induced decrease in cell viability [11].
  • These results indicate that ibudilast inhibits anaphylactic bronchoconstriction which is considered to be largely mediated by endogenously released SRS-A [3].
 

Anatomical context of Ke Tas

  • These results suggest that ibudilast may be a useful neuroprotective and anti-dementia agent counteracting neurotoxicity in activated microglia [7].
  • The purpose of this study was to characterize the nature of the response to KC-404 in the cerebral microcirculation of the newborn pig [9].
  • Histologically, inflammatory cell infiltration in the lumbar spinal cord was significantly reduced in Ibudilast-treated animals as compared to control animals [2].
  • 5. Ibudilast had no effect on either GTP- or calcium-stimulated phosphatidylinositol specific-phospholipase C activity of lung membranes [12].
  • Ibudilast mildly suppressed MBP-induced proliferation of T cells in regional lymph nodes, the secretion of interferon-gamma from T cells activated by MBP in CFA, and the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha from macrophages [2].
 

Associations of Ke Tas with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Ke Tas

  • Sensitive real-time PCR for quantifying cytokine mRNA in the blood CD4+ cells revealed that the ibudilast monotherapy significantly reduced tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interferon (IFN)-gamma mRNA and the IFN-gamma/interleukin-4 mRNA ratio, suggesting a shift in the cytokine profile from Th1 toward Th2 dominancy [15].
  • Another important property of ibudilast is its antiinflammatory activity possibly associated with potent inhibition of PDE4 [16].
  • The inhibition of platelet aggregation and vasodilatation by ibudilast may be due to synergistic elevation of intracellular cyclic nucleotides and release of nitric oxide (NO) or prostacyclin from endothelium, rather than direct inhibition of PDE5 or PDE3 [16].
  • Ibudilast suppresses TNFalpha production by glial cells functioning mainly as type III phosphodiesterase inhibitor in the CNS [17].
  • Ibudilast may be a promising therapy for MS and its clinical effects warrant further study [15].
