Significant immunomodulatory activity is exhibited by trojanlast, which also has the ability to prevent the formation of endotoxin-induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; IC50=~1–20 μM), thromboxane B2 (IC50=~10–50 μM), TGF-β1 (IC50=~100–200 μM), and IL-8 (IC50=~100 μM). With an IC50 of 10-40 μM and 2-20 μM, respectively, calatorilast prevents monocytes from producing leukotriene C4 or PGE2 when stimulated by A23187 [3]. Tranilast (10-200 μM) has dose-dependent antiproliferative effects in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. In vitro, tamoxifen (1–20 μM) can also be enhanced in its anti-tumor activity on human breast cancer cells by trenilast (10–200 μM) [4]. HDMEC proliferation is inhibited by trenilast (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/mL; 72 hours) [5].

| ln Vivo |
In mice, tranilast (300 mg/kg; orally administered twice daily for three days) suppresses angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner [5].

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Following oral administration in humans, peak plasma concentrations of Tranilast are achieved within 2 to 3 hours. The elimination half-life is approximately 8.6 hours. Drug levels are significantly reduced by 24 hours and fall below the detection limit after 48 hours .
Tranilast is primarily eliminated via urine, with the majority of the dose excreted within 96 hours of administration . The main metabolic pathway is the formation of a glucuronide conjugate. The principal metabolite is the 4-O-demethylated product conjugated with sulfate and glucuronic acid . In vitro studies using human liver microsomes and recombinant enzymes indicate that the oxidative metabolism of Tranilast involves multiple cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms. These include CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C8, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2D6, with CYP2C9 being identified as a primary contributor . In vitro studies have elucidated the glucuronidation pathway of Tranilast. The glucuronidation is primarily catalyzed by the UGT1A1 enzyme in both human liver and intestine. The kinetic parameters (Km) for this activity were determined to be 51.5 μM in human liver microsomes, 50.6 μM in human jejunum microsomes, and 38.0 μM for recombinant UGT1A1. The corresponding Vmax values were 10.4, 42.9, and 19.7 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Calculated intrinsic clearance suggested that glucuronidation activity is 2.5-fold higher in the liver than in the intestine . In vitro metabolism studies also determined the kinetics for the formation of the phase I metabolite, 4-demethyltranilast (N-3). In human liver microsomes, the Km and Vmax for N-3 formation were 37.1 μM and 27.6 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively . Tranilast glucuronosyltransferase activity was found to be strongly inhibited by its phase I metabolite (N-3), suggesting a potential for the metabolite to affect the parent drug's metabolism . |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In animal studies, Tranilast has been shown to have teratogenic effects, and therefore it is contraindicated in pregnant women .
Clinically, Tranilast can cause hepatic and renal adverse reactions. Hepatic effects may include jaundice and significant elevations in liver enzymes such as AST, ALT, and AL-P, potentially leading to liver dysfunction or hepatitis. Renal effects can include increases in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine . Other observed adverse reactions include urinary system effects (e.g., frequency, dysuria, hematuria), hematological effects (e.g., decreased red blood cell count and hemoglobin, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia), gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g., anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain), and central nervous system effects (e.g., headache, drowsiness, dizziness) . In vitro studies show that Tranilast and its phase I metabolite (N-3) strongly inhibit bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) activity. This inhibition is suggested as the mechanism for the hyperbilirubinemia observed in some patients during clinical trials, potentially linked to UGT1A1 genotype . In a clinical safety study involving patients with advanced heart failure and muscular dystrophy, Tranilast administered orally at 100 mg three times daily for 6 months was reported to have no serious adverse events related to the drug, aside from diarrhea, a known side effect . The material safety data sheet for Tranilast classifies it as an oral acute toxin (Category 4) and advises caution to avoid inhalation, skin contact, and eye contact . Standard first aid measures include rinsing skin or eyes with large amounts of water and seeking medical attention if necessary . The toxicological effects have not been thoroughly studied . |

| Additional Infomation |
Tranilast is an amidobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the anilino hydrogens is replaced by a 3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl group. It has a role as an anti-asthmatic drug, a nephroprotective agent, an anti-allergic agent, a calcium channel blocker, an antineoplastic agent, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist and a hepatoprotective agent. It is a member of cinnamamides, a dimethoxybenzene, an amidobenzoic acid and a secondary carboxamide. It is functionally related to an anthranilic acid.
Tranilast is an antiallergic drug developed by Kissei Pharmaceuticals. In 1982, it was approved in Japan and South Korea for the management of bronchial asthma. Indications for keloid and hypertrophic scar were added in 1993. It has been used for the treatment of allergic disorders such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis.
