โœฆ Synopsis


Recent evidence suggests that 5-aminosalicylate acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by virtue of its ability to act as a free-radical scavenger. The major metabolite, N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylate is not an effective freeradical scavenger. We have demonstrated that an arylamine N-acetyltransferase from hamster colon can directly acetylate 5-aminosalicylate, suggesting that the colon may have the ability to modulate the activity of this agent through metabolic inactivation.
