Suppression of IgE Production by IPD-1151T (Suplatast Tosilate), a New Dimethylsulfonium Agent: (1) Regulation of Murine IgE Response

Abstract: The effect of IPD-1151T, a new dimethylsulfonium compound, on the IgE response was in on normal spleen cells was not inhibited by the agent. These results strongly suggest that the IgE-suppressive activity of IPD-1151T is most likely due to the inhibition of IL-4 production at the T cell level.

“…A Th2 inhibitor, suplatast tosilate, was reported to inhibit IL-4 production from mouse D10G4.1 cells at 10 to 100 M (Yanagihara et al, 1993); however, we did not observe obvious effect up to 100 M in IL-4 production from mouse splenic B cells, whereas the inhibition was apparent at 1000 M in human PBMCs in our experiment. This indicates that the activity of suplatast tosilate is not powerful in primary cells under our experimental conditions.…”

“…15) Our present study showed that Wistar rats exhibit a peak IgE level 10 d after sensitization using DNP-As as antigen and B. pertussis as adjuvant and produce a high level of IgE, as frequently observed in allergic disease. Consequently, female Wistar rats are suggested to be useful as a control animal group in the evaluation of such compounds as suplatast tosilate (IPD-1151T) 9,[16][17][18][19] that suppress IgE formation and Th2-type cytokines. Thus our results indicate that animal strain affects experimental results even when the identical method of disease model preparation is used.…”

“…This drug decreased the levels of some immune system associated substances such as Interleukin-4 (IL-4), eosinophils, and Immunoglobulin E (IgE) [2]. Because type I allergic reactions are caused by IgE, a drug that can specifically inhibit IgE antibody formation, is expected to be efficacious for the fundamental treatment of type I allergic diseases.…”
