Lialda /the first oral once daily mesalamine tablet/ is indicated for the induction of remission in patients with active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.
FDA: Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER); Label Information for Lialda (Mesalamine) Lasted updated 2007. Available from, as of March 30, 2007: https://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2007/022000lbl.pdf
Oral and rectal mesalamine preparations usually are well tolerated. The most common adverse effects of oral or rectal mesalamine are GI effects and headache. In clinical studies, most adverse effects associated with oral or rectal preparations were mild in severity and were transient or reversible. However, adverse effects have been severe enough to require discontinuance of the drug in less than 1% or in up to about 4-5% of patients receiving rectal or oral mesalamine, respectively, although in some studies, the rate of discontinuance of the drug was similar to or less than in those receiving placebo. Most of the adverse effects reported with the use of oral mesalamine delayed-release tablets were similar in short- and long-term studies.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3013
Exacerbation of colitis symptoms was reported in 3% of patients receiving oral mesalamine delayed-release tablets. Other adverse GI effects associated with oral mesalamine extended-release capsules and occurring in less than 1% of patients, include abdominal distention, constipation, duodenal ulcer, dysphagia, eructation, esophageal or mouth ulcer, fecal incontinence, GI bleeding (e.g., rectal bleeding), stool abnormalities (e.g., change in color or texture), oral moniliasis, and thirst, although a causal relationship to the drug of many of these adverse effects has not been established.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3013
In controlled clinical trials in patients receiving oral mesalamine delayed-release tablets, abdominal pain, eructation, nausea, diarrhea, dyspepsia, vomiting, constipation, flatulence, exacerbation of colitis, abdominal enlargement, gastroenteritis, GI hemorrhage, rectal disorder (e.g., hemorrhage, tenesmus), and stool abnormalities, were the most common adverse GI effects, occurring in about 2-18% of patients; dry mouth, indigestion, stomatitis, and cramping were reported rarely. Frequency of these GI effects did not seem to increase with increased dosages, although in uncontrolled studies, the incidence of abdominal pain, flatulence, and GI bleeding were dose related. The most common adverse GI effects of oral mesalamine extended-released capsules were diarrhea (including melena), nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, vomiting, anorexia, worsening of ulcerative colitis, and rectal urgency, occurring in greater than 0.4-3% of patients.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3013
An acute intolerance syndrome (sensitivity reaction), characterized by cramping, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and, occasionally, fever, headache, malaise, conjunctivitis, pruritus, and rash, has occurred in a few patients receiving mesalamine and required prompt discontinuance of the drug. In patients manifesting such intolerance, a history of sulfasalazine intolerance, if any, should be reevaluated.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 3014

Mesalazine is indicated for the induction of remission in patients with active or mild to moderate acute exacerbations of ulcerative colitis and for the maintenance of remission of ulcerative colitis,. Prescribing information for mesalazine in the UK also indicates the medication for the maintenance of remission of Crohn's ileo-colitis.
FDA Label
Mesalazine is one of the two components of sulphasalazine, the other being sulphapyridine. It is the latter which is responsible for the majority of the side effects associated with sulphasalazine therapy whilst mesalazine is known to be the active moiety in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. The pharmacodynamic actions of mesalazine occur in the colonic/rectal mucosae local to the delivery of drug from mesalazine tablets into the lumen. There is information suggesting that the severity of colonic inflammation in ulcerative colitis patients treated with mesalazine is inversely correlated with mucosal concentrations of mesalazine. Plasma concentrations representing systemically absorbed mesalazine are not believed to contribute extensively to efficacy.
Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

Absorption
Depending on the formulation administered, prescribing information for orally administered delayed-released tablets of 2.4g or 4.8g of mesalazine given once daily for 14 days to healthy volunteers was to found to be about 21% to 22% of the administered dose while prescribing information for an orally administered controlled-release capsule formulation suggests 20% to 30% of the mesalazine in the formulation is absorbed. In contrast, when mesalamine is administered orally as an unformulated 1-g aqueous suspension, mesalazine is approximately 80% absorbed.
Route of Elimination
Elimination of mesalazine is mainly via the renal route following metabolism to N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid (acetylation). However, there is also limited excretion of the parent mesalazine drug in the urine. After the oral administration of the extended-release formulation of mesalazine, of the approximately 21% to 22% of the drug absorbed, less than 8% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine after 24 hours, compared with greater than 13% for N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid. When given the controlled-release formulation, about 130 mg free mesalazine was recovered in the feces following a single 1-g dose, which was comparable to the 140 mg of mesalazine recovered from the molar equivalent sulfasalazine tablet dose of 2.5 g F3001]. Elimination of free mesalazine and salicylates in feces increased proportionately with the dose given. N-acetylmesalazine was the primary compound excreted in the urine (19% to 30%) following the controlled-release dosing.
Volume of Distribution
The apparent volume of distribution (Vd) of the drug in adults is approximately 0.2 L/kg.
Clearance
The mean (SD) renal clearance in L/h for mesalazine following the single dose administration of mesalazine delayed-release tablets 4.8g under fasting conditions to young and elderly subjects was documented as 2.05 (1.33) in young subjects aged 18 to 35 years old, 2.04 (1.16) in elderly subjects aged 65 to 75 years old, and 2.13 (1.20) in elderly subjects older than 75 years.
Following oral administration, low concentrations of mesalamine and higher concentrations of its metabolite, N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid, have been detected in human breast milk. It is not known whether mesalamine or its metabolites are distributed into milk in humans following rectal administration.

It is generally accepted that 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA; mesalamine), widely used in inflammatory bowel disease therapy, exerts its action from the intraluminal site of the intestine. In addition to local metabolism of 5-ASA, it has been assumed that therapeutic mucosal concentrations of 5-ASA depend on transporter-mediated secretion back to the lumen. ... The hypothesis that 5-ASA represents a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), thereby possibly contributing to variable therapeutic effects /was tested/. Polarized, basal-to-apical transport of [(3)H]5-ASA was studied in monolayers of Caco-2 and L-MDR cells, both of which express P-gp in their apical membrane, as well as in MDCK cells transfected with human MRP2. Moreover, we investigated the influence of 5-ASA on transport of digoxin in Caco-2 cells. In Caco-2 cells a P-gp-mediated efflux of 5-ASA (5-500 muM) could be excluded. Likewise, in L-MDR1 and MRP2 cells no transport differences in either the basal-to-apical or apical-to-basal direction were measurable. 5-ASA (50 muM to 5 mM) had no effect on the transport of digoxin. ...

The primary metabolite of mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid) is predominantly N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid (Ac-5-ASA). This metabolite is generated via N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity in the liver and intestinal mucosa cells, largely by NAT-1, in particular.
Mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid, 5-ASA), an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, is metabolized in organism to the principal biotransformation product, N-acetyl-5-ASA. Some other phase II metabolites (N-formyl-5-ASA, N-butyryl-5-ASA, N-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-5-ASA) have also been described. 5-ASA is a polar compound and besides it exhibits amphoteric properties. ...

The exact metabolic fate of mesalamine has not been clearly established. The drug undergoes rapid N-acetylation, probably in the liver, to form N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid; mesalamine and N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid also may undergo conjugation with glucuronic acid. Several other, unidentified metabolites also may be formed. It has been suggested that N-acetylation also may occur (to a limited extent) in the intestinal wall and/or the lumen. The intestinal flora probably are involved in this acetylation, and extensive floral acetylation may adversely affect clinical efficacy of the drug. Correlation between acetylator phenotype of patients receiving mesalamine and the degree of N-acetylation does not appear to exist. Although it has been suggested that N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid may be pharmacologically active, therapeutic response has been poor in some patients treated rectally with this metabolite, and the relative contribution of this metabolite to the therapeutic effect of mesalamine remains questionable. N-Acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid did not inhibit lipoxygenase in vitro.

Although the mechanism of action of mesalazine is not fully understood, it is believed to possess a topical anti-inflammatory effect on colonic epithelial cells. Mucosal production of arachidonic acid metabolites, both through the cyclooxygenase pathways, i.e., prostanoids, and through the lipoxygenase pathways, i.e., leukotrienes and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids, is increased in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and it is possible that mesalazine diminishes inflammation by blocking cyclooxygenase and inhibiting prostaglandin production in the colon. Furthermore, mesalazine also has the potential to inhibit the activation of Nuclear Factor kappa B (NKkB) and consequently the production of key of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has been proposed that reduced expression of PPAR gamma nuclear receptors (gamma form of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) may be implicated in ulcerative colitis. There is evidence that mesalazine produces pharmacodynamic effects through direct activation of PPAR gamma receptors in the colonic/rectal epithelium as well. Moreover, since increased leukocyte migration, abnormal cytokine production, increased production of arachidonic acid metabolites, particularly leukotriene B4, and increased free radical formation in the inflamed intestinal tissue are all present in patients with inflammatory bowel disease it is also believed that mesalazine has in-vitro and in-vivo pharmacological effects that inhibit leukocyte chemotaxis, decrease cytokine and leukotriene production and scavenge for free radicals.
Mesalamine is effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. However, the mechanisms of action of mesalamine remain unclear. IEC-6 and IRD-98, nontransformed rat small intestinal epithelial cell lines, were used to examine the effect of mesalamine on the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Rats were given mesalamine enemas to determine the effect on colonic MnSOD expression. Treatment with mesalamine at 0.02 or 2 mg/mL induced MnSOD mRNA levels 2.67-fold or 5.66-fold, respectively. Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein with MK-886 or cyclooxygenase with indomethacin did not influence the level of MnSOD mRNA. Nuclear run-on experiments demonstrated an increase in de novo transcription following treatment with mesalamine. MnSOD protein levels were induced 2-fold at 24 hr and 4.23-fold at 48 hr following treatment with 1 mg/mL mesalamine. Mesalamine increased MnSOD 1.7-fold in vivo. Pretreatment with mesalamine significantly protected IRD-98 cells from tumor necrosis factor-alpha cytotoxicity. This is the first example of transcriptional gene regulation by mesalamine. The induction of MnSOD by mesalamine may contribute to the therapeutic mechanism of mesalamine.

Mucosal production of arachidonic acid metabolites, both through the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Mesalamine appears to diminish inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, thereby decreasing the production of prostaglandins, and leukotrienes and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETs), respectively. It is also believed that mesalamine acts aas a scavenger of oxygen-derived free radicals, which are produced in greater numbers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Derivatives of 5-aminosalicylic acid (mesalamine) represent a mainstay in inflammatory bowel disease therapy, yet the precise mechanism of their therapeutic action is unknown. Because tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is important in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, we investigated the effect of mesalamine on TNF-alpha-regulated signal transduction and proliferation in intestinal epithelial cells. Young adult mouse colon cells were studied with TNF-alpha, epidermal growth factor, or ceramide in the presence or absence of mesalamine. Proliferation was studied by hemocytometry. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation and IkappaBalpha expression were determined by Western blot analysis. Nuclear transcription factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) nuclear translocation was determined by confocal laser immunofluorescent microscopy. The antiproliferative effects of TNF-alpha were blocked by mesalamine. TNF-alpha and ceramide activation of MAP kinase were inhibited by mesalamine, whereas epidermal growth factor activation of MAP kinase was unaffected. TNF-alpha-stimulated NF-kappaB activation and nuclear translocation and the degradation of Ikappa-Balpha were blocked by mesalamine. Mesalamine inhibits TNF-alpha-mediated effects on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and activation of MAP kinase and NF-kappaB. Therefore, it may function as a therapeutic agent based on its ability to disrupt critical signal transduction events in the intestinal cell necessary for perpetuation of the chronic inflammatory state.
