Metabolite Identification
Common NameIbudilast
DescriptionIbudilast, also known as ketas or AV-411, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrazolopyridines. Pyrazolopyridines are compounds containing a pyrazolopyridine skeleton, which consists of a pyrazole fused to a pyridine. Pyrazole is 5-membered ring consisting of three carbon atoms and two adjacent nitrogen centers. Pyridine is a 6-membered ring with four carbon and one nitrogen atoms. Ibudilast is a drug which is used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, asthma, and cerebrovascular disease. Ibudilast is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). Ibudilast is principally a PDE4 inhibitor but has also been shown to act as an antagonist at the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Ibudilast crosses the blood–brain barrier and suppresses glial cell activation. Ibudilast ophthalmic solution is indicated for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis and hay fever. In Japan, ibudilast oral capsules are approved for the treatment of asthma, and for improvement of dizziness secondary to chronic cerebral circulation impairment associated with sequelae of cerebral infarction. It may have some use reducing methamphetamine, opioid, and alcohol addiction. It is unknown if the PDE4-inhibiting properties potentiate the effects of TLR4 inactivation and/or vice versa, despite that some of their effects are shared, such as inflammation reducing properties. Ibudilast(IBD) (development codes: AV-411 or MN-166) is an anti-inflammatory drug used mainly in Japan, which acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, inhibiting the PDE4 subtype to the greatest extent, but also showing significant inhibition of other PDE subtypes. TLR4 antagonists theoretically reverse the increase in pain and inflammation caused by most TLR4 agonists, which include many opiate and opioid drugs. This activity has been shown to make ibudilast useful in the treatment of neuropathic pain and it not only enhances analgesia produced by opioid drugs, but also reduces the development of tolerance. This likely plays a large part in its effect, specifically its synergy with opioid drugs, its anti-inflammatory effect, and its own painkilling effect. It inhibits platelet aggregation, and may also be useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
