Hydrolyzed Metabolites of Thalidomide
Putative hydrolyzed metabolites of thalidomide were prepared and characterized, and their inhibitory activity on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production in the human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 was evaluated. Alpha-(2-Carboxybenzamido)glutarimide was a more potent TNF-alpha production inhibitor than thalidomide.
- "Thalidomide was developed in the 1950s as a nontoxic sedative/hypnotic drug, but was withdrawn from the market in the early 1960s because of its teratogenicity.However, it was subsequently identified as an effective agent for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), AIDS, Hansen’s disease, and various cancers. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it first for the treatment of erythema nodosum in Hansen’s disease in 1998, and then, in combination with dexamethasone, for the treatment of MM in 2006."
