The in vitro pharmacology of inosine (Ino), a putative anti-inflammatory compound, has been investigated in smooth muscle preparations, with emphasis on its possible interaction with known inflammatory mediators, as well as capsaicin, an inducer of "neurogenic inflammation". The highest
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the therapeutic effect of inosine in patients with severe sepsis.
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted. Eighty-five severe sepsis patients hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) from March 2011 to August 2012 were included and randomized into three groups: 25 cases as
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification of pre-mRNA catalysed by an RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR). A-to-I RNA editing has been previously reported in the pre-mRNAs of brain glutamate and serotonin receptors and in lung tissue during inflammation.
Inosine, a naturally occurring purine formed from the breakdown of adenosine, has recently been shown to exert powerful anti-inflammatory effects both in vivo and in vitro. This study evaluated inosine as a potential therapy for colitis. Colitis was induced in mice by the administration of dextran
BACKGROUND
Despite improvement in the management of severe necrotizing pancreatitis, mortality remains high. Today, no specific treatment exists. Inflammatory cascades and microcirculatory disturbances play a key role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. The aim of the present study was to
Endogenous purines, including inosine, have been shown to exert immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of disease models. The dosage of inosine required for these effects has been shown to be between 200 and 600 mg kg(-1) because of the rapid metabolism of inosine in vivo. The
The aim was to investigate potential targets and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of bicyclol, which has been extensively used in clinic for decades in China. Tar-Fis-Dock, virtual molecular docking system, showed that inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase II (IMPDH II) has the highest probability of
Regulation of neutrophil (PMN) trafficking by soluble mediators is a critical component in the outcome of host defense, inflammation resolution, and neutrophil-mediated tissue injury. Elucidation of the endogenous mediators that protect tissues from excess leukocyte traffic and aberrant PMN
Inosine is a naturally occurring purine formed from the breakdown of adenosine. Here we have evaluated the effects of inosine in a murine model of polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Mice subjected to CLP were treated with either inosine (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally)
BACKGROUND
There is a large interindividual variability in thiopurine metabolism. High concentrations of methylthioinosine-5'-monophosphate (meTIMP) and low concentrations of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGNs) have been associated with a lower response rate and an increased risk of adverse events.
OBJECTIVE
Adverse reactions to thiopurines may be predisposed by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) or inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) gene mutations.
METHODS
We examined the frequencies of TPMT and ITPA gene polymorphisms in 812 Korean patients with inflammatory bowel diseases using
BACKGROUND
Thiopurines are widely used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but are associated with the development of side effects. It has been suggested that the enzyme inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) plays a role in the digestion of thiopurines and that defective activity
There is a lack of research describing the associations between thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT)/inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) genotypes and long-term clinical outcomes. We investigated whether TPMT/ITPA genotypes predicted long-term clinical response in Korean patients with
Adenosine and its metabolite, inosine, have been described as molecules that participate in regulation of inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adenosine and inosine in a mouse model of carrageenan-induced pleurisy as well as the participation of adenosine
Inosine, a naturally occurring purine formed from the breakdown of adenosine, is associated with immunoregulatory effects. Evidence shows that inosine modulates lung inflammation and regulates cytokine generation. However, its role in controlling allergen-induced lung inflammation has yet to be
