Description and Uses

Until recently, IPF therapy consisted of a combination of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents (azathioprine and cyclophosphamide) to target the inflammation that was believed to be the pathogenic stimulus.Since IPF is now considered to be predominantly a disorder of fibroproliferation, agents that intervene in fibrogenesis have moved to the forefront of treatment options. With demonstrated efficacy in a bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis animal model, pirfenidone has been developed and launched as an approved therapy for IPF. Its antifibrotic activity is derived from the inhibition of p38 MAP kinase that is upstream of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), a cytokine implicated in the stimulation of collagen synthesis and the inhibition of its degradation. Pirfenidone also inhibits the expression of TNF-α, IL-1, and ICAM-1, so it possesses the dual benefit of an anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic agent. This relatively simplistic drug is constructed by the copper-catalyzed reaction of 5-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone with bromo- or chlorobenzene. .

Pirfenidone has been used:

  • as a post-operative eye drop in rabbits to analyse its antifibrotic effect to improve glaucoma filtration surgery
  • as an anti-scarring agent to examine whether it affects the foreign body reaction after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation in a rabbit
  • to test its antifibrotic potential in primary cultures of human orbital fibroblasts (hOFs)
  • as tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) inhibitor to study its effect in hypoxia
