Description

Application

The effect of Tranilast on mast cell surface receptors was studied in murine bone marrow-derived mast cells.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tranilast is an anti-asthma drug, which inhibits LTC₄ and PGE₂ formation in stimulated monocytes, but does not inhibit cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase activity; inhibits mast cell degranulation; inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis in vivo and also inhibits proliferation and tube formation of human endothelial cells in vitro. Tranilast may represent a new class of drugs for therapy to treat ongoing T_H1-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Tranilast is an anti-asthma drug, which inhibits LTC₄ and PGE₂ formation in stimulated monocytes, inhibits mast cell degranulation, and inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis in vivo and also inhibits proliferation and tube formation of human endothelial cells in vitro.

Tranilast also inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation by inhibiting the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor-1(p21Waf1/Cip1) and may be useful in treating cardiac allograft vasculopathy. It is used in treating hypertrophic scars and keloids. Tranilast inhibits tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α and TGF-β2), obstructing epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE).
