AravaThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Arava but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Arava (when available) Leflunomide is a pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor indicated in adults for the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an auto-immune disease characterized by high T-cell activity. T cells have two pathways to synthesize pyrimidines: the salvage pathways and the de novo synthesis. At rest, T lymphocytes meet their metabolic requirements by the salvage pathway. Activated lymphocytes need to expand their pyrimidine pool 7 - to 8 -fold, while the purine pool is expanded only 2- to 3-fold. To meet the need for more pyrimidines, activated T cells use the de novo pathway for pyrimidine synthesis. Therefore, activated T cells, which are dependent on de novo pyrimidine synthesis, will be more affected by leflunomide’s inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase than other cell types that use the salvage pathway of pyrimidine synthesis. For the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) Mechanism Of Action: Leflunomide is an isoxazole immunomodulatory agent which inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (an enzyme involved in de novo pyrimidine synthesis) and has antiproliferative activity. Specifically Leflunomide blocks the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, thus preventing the proliferation of activated T cells. Several in vivo and in vitro experimental models have demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect. Following oral administration, leflunomide is metabolized to an active metabolite A77 1726 which is responsible for essentially all of its activity in vivo News Articles on Leflunomide Limmud Arava - Apr 8, 2009 The Limmud Arava project was initiated by enthusiastic participants in Limmud Oz who are also members of the Jewish Agency's AAP (Arava-Australia Jewish Agency for Israel Jews Celebrate “Solar Sederâ€? in the Arava Desert at Kibbutz Lotan - Apr 11, 2009 Just a few hours after Jews of all stripes gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem to celebrate “Birkat haChamaâ€? - the blessing of the sun - Aria Penkava Green Prophet The Arava Turns Fifty - Apr 8, 2009 The first settlers who came to the Central Arava in 1959, armed with little more than hopes and dreams and a letter from David Ben Gurion to the IDF's Jewish Agency for Israel Australian Ambassador to Israel Visits the Arava - Apr 8, 2009 The Central Arava was honored to host the Australian ambassador to Israel, Mr. James Larsen, for a two-day visit.
