Pharmacokinetics of oltipraz and its major metabolite (RM) in patients with liver fibrosis or cirrhosis: relationship with suppression of circulating TGF-beta1.

Clin. Pharmacol. Ther. 88(3) , 360-8, (2010)

Oltipraz is a potential candidate drug for the treatment of liver fibrosis (LF) and liver cirrhosis (LC). The pharmacokinetics of oltipraz and its major rearranged metabolite (7-methyl-6,8-bis(methylthio)H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine (RM)) were evaluated after sin...

Inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication by 7-methyl-6,8-bis(methylthio)pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine, an in vivo metabolite of oltipraz.

Mol. Pharmacol. 48(1) , 15-20, (1995)

Oltipraz, an inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in vitro (ED50 approximately 10 microM), undergoes extensive metabolism in vivo. Most of the orally administered drug undergoes opening of the dithiolethione ring, reduction, recyclizat...
