Amlexanox is an anti-allergic drug with anti-inflammatory properties.[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Amlexanox elevates the amount of nonsense-containing mRNAs in treated cells and helps to generate full-length proteins effectively.[1]
Amlexanox is an anti-allergy and anti-asthma drug that blocks histamine and leukotriene release from leukocytes and mast cells. Amlexanox has also been shown to inhibit cahaperone activity of Hsp90, and S100A13, which is involved in transport of proteins devoid of signal peptide sequences.
Amlexanox is an anti-allergy, anti-ulcer drug; S100A13 inhibitor.

Interleukin (IL)1alpha mediates proinflammatory events through its extracellular interaction with the IL1 type I receptor. However, IL1alpha does not contain a conventional signal peptide sequence that provides access to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi apparatus for secretion. Thus, we have studied the
The objectives of this study were to clinically determine the topical efficacy and safety of amlexanox oral adhesive tablets in the treatment of recurrent minor aphthous ulcerations (MiRAU) in a Chinese cohort. A randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, unparallel multicenter clinical trial

The study was designed to determine the efficacy of OraDisc (active component 2 mg amlexanox) on the prevention of aphthous ulcers treated at the prodromal stage. Thermographic imaging was used to confirm the presence of a prodromal ulcer. Fifty-two patients
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) lacks a signal sequence and is exported by an unconventional release mechanism. The nonclassical export of FGF-1 has been shown to be inhibited by an anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drug, amlexanox (AMX). We investigate the molecular mechanism(s)
