A-771726 is the active metabolite of leflunomide, a prodrug approved by the FDA for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. A-771726 reversibly inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines. It prevents activated lymphocytes from accumulating sufficient pyrimidines to support DNA synthesis (IC50s = 0.09, 3.5, and 12.5 μM for rat, mouse, and human, respectively).{22723} At higher doses, A-771726 inhibits tyrosine kinases responsible for early T cell and B cell signaling in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle.{22723} A-771726 has also been shown to inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2 in synoviocytes activated by TNF-α and IL-1α (IC50s = 7 and 3 μM, respectively) as well as inhibit MMP-1 and IL-6 production at concentrations >10 μM.{22722}
