Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disorder that primarily affects joints. The disease causes sewere inflammation of joints,painful joints ;also causes Inflammation around lungs and heart. It increases the risk of heart strokes . The cause of disease is yet unclear predicted to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The disease is diagnosed by signs and symptoms and by laboratory tests .Around 41 /1,00,000 people are diagnosed with R.A. As per statistics about 24.5 million people are affected with R.A. About 38,000 deaths are reported in the year 2013. Leflunomide is a immuno suppresive disease modifying anti rheumatic drug that show its activity by inhibiting the mitochondrial enzyme ;Di hydro rotatateDehydrogenase .hence leflunomide inhibits reproduction of rapidly dividing cells,Especially lymphocytes. Here we are preparing leflunomide solid dispersion form that enhances its soulubility and dissolution rate.
