Description
Leflunomide is an oral, disease-modifying drug that is used in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Leflunomide reduces
inflammation in the joints that is responsible for both the
symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and the destruction of joints.
This reduces symptoms as well as the progressive deformities of
the joints caused by the arthritis. Leflunomide reduces
inflammation by suppressing the activity of immune cells
responsible for the inflammation. Leflunomide suppresses immune
cells by inhibiting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that
is necessary for the production of DNA and RNA. Without DNA and
RNA the immune cells (and most other types of cells) cannot
multiply or function (or exist).
