Disease relevance of Azodisal

  • Azodisal sodium in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. A study of tolerance and relapse-prevention properties [1].
  • When the colitis activity at study entry was compared with that observed at the completion of the study period, statistically significant or nearly significant improvement was demonstrated within the combined olsalazine group (p = 0.01) and within patient groups receiving olsalazine at daily doses of 1.5 g (p = 0.04) and 3 g (p = 0.055) [2].
  • Analysis restricted to 64 patients still in remission at 1 year and 18 with relapses also showed a significant difference in relapse rate (olsalazine 5/42 [12%] vs mesalazine 13/40 [33%]; p = 0.024) [3].
  • Four patients were withdrawn because of adverse reactions: 2 developed a skin rash while receiving olsalazine and 2 had diarrhea, one while on olsalazine and the other while on placebo [2].
  • RESULTS: No differences in the frequency of termination due to relapse or time to termination due to relapse were noted between the two treatment groups (olsalazine 48.5% v placebo 45%) for either colitis or ileocolitis [4].

Biological context of Azodisal

  • Longterm olsalazine treatment: pharmacokinetics, tolerance and effects on local eicosanoid formation in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis [14].
  • Olsalazine 250 mg four times daily significantly accelerated gastric emptying (mean +/- SD; 45.3 +/- 24.2 min v 67.3 +/- 33.1 min, p less than 0.05), mouth to caecum transit time (242 +/- 41 min v 325 +/- 33 min, p less than 0.02) and whole gut transit time (60.5 +/- 26 h v 37.8 +/- 17.8 h, p less than 0.05) [15].
  • Neither parent compound (SAZ, olsalazine) nor the pharmacologically inactive metabolite (SP) were effective in attenuating the lipid peroxidation at concentrations up to 100 microM [16].
  • We found that the concentrations necessary to inhibit the N-nitrosation reaction by 50% (IC50) were 25, 50 and 100 microM for 5-ASA, olsalazine (dimeric 5-ASA) and sulfasalazine, respectively [17].
  • METHODS: The local and systemic bioavailability of 5-ASA from a controlled release 5-ASA preparation (Pentasa--2, 4 or 6 g/day) was investigated and compared with the azo-bond 5-ASA preparation olsalazine (Dipentum--2 g/day) in 13 healthy volunteers during steady state conditions [18].
