Research Area: Inflammation
Biological Activity:
Mesalamine (Lialda, Apriso) is an anti-inflammatory compound used to treat inflammation of the digestive tract ulcerative colitis and mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease. Mesalamine (Lialda, Apriso) is a bowel-specific aminosalicylate drug that acts locally in the gut and has its predominant actions there, thereby having few systemic side effects. As a derivative of salicylic acid, 5-ASA is also thought to be an antioxidant that traps free radicals, which are potentially damaging byproducts of metabolism. [1]
