Oral mesalazine (also known as mesalamine) is a 5-aminosalicylic acid compound used in the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis, with high rates of efficacy in induction and maintenance of remission. The therapeutic effect of mesalazine occurs topically at the site of diseased colonic mucosa. A myriad of oral mesalazine preparations have been formulated with various drug delivery methods to minimize systemic absorption and maximise drug availability at the inflamed colonic epithelium. It remains unclear whether different oral mesalazine formulations are bioequivalent. This review aims to evaluate the differences between mesalazine formulations based on the currently available literature and explore factors which may influence the selection of one agent above another.
口服美沙拉嗪(也称为美沙拉明)是一种5-氨基水杨酸化合物,用于治疗轻至中度溃疡性结肠炎,在诱导和维持缓解方面具有较高的疗效。美沙拉嗪的治疗作用在病变结肠黏膜部位局部发生。已经开发了多种口服美沙拉嗪制剂,采用了各种药物递送方法,以尽量减少全身吸收并最大限度地提高药物在炎症性结肠上皮的可用性。目前尚不清楚不同的口服美沙拉嗪制剂是否具有生物等效性。本综述旨在根据现有文献评估美沙拉嗪制剂之间的差异,并探讨可能影响一种制剂优于另一种制剂选择的因素。
