Additional Information:

Leflunomide is a pyrimidine biosynthesis inhibitor DMARD (disease-modifying antirheumatic drug) (1) which also displays immunomodulatory activity inhibiting the mitochondrial enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) (2), although the molecule directly responsible for DHODH is actually A77 1726, a metabolite of Leflunomide. This compound also rescues mice from acetaminophen-induced liver injury (3).
