Iguratimod is an anti-inflammatory small molecule drug used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, together with methotrexate in Japan and China. [1] As of 2015 the biological target was not known, but it prevents NF-κB activation and subsequently selectively inhibits COX-2 and several inflammatory cytokines. [1]
Adverse effects include elevated transaminases, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain; rashes, and itchiness. [1]
It is a derivative of 7-methanesulfonylamino-6-phenoxychromones and is a chromone with two amide groups; it was first published in 2000. [1] [2] It was submitted for regulatory approval in Japan in 2003; the application was withdrawn in 2009, and it was resubmitted with additional data in 2011 and approved for marketing in Japan in 2012. [1] Eisai and Toyama Chemical market it in Japan. [3] Approval was obtained in China in 2011 by Simcere, independently of the Japanese originators. [1] [4]
During discovery and development it was called T-614 and it is marketed under the names Careram and Kolbet. [5]
