Abstract
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a bioactive peptide with various physiological functions, including vasodilation, angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, organ protection, and tissue repair. AM suppresses inflammatory cytokine production in the intestinal mucosa, improves vascular and lymphatic regeneration and function, mucosal epithelial repair, and immune function in the intestinal bacteria of animal models with intestinal inflammation. We have been promoting translational research to develop novel therapeutic agents for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using AM and have started clinical research for IBD patients since 2010. A multicenter clinical trial is currently underway in Japan for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Moreover, since current AM administration is limited to continuous intravenous infusion, the development of a subcutaneous formulation using long-acting AM is underway for outpatient treatment.
