ABSTRACT
Nós testamos a hipótese que a pentoxifilina (PTX) reduz a atividade pró-inflamatória e aumenta a resposta antiinflamatória em pacientes com síndromes coronárias agudas (SCA). Num estudo duplo-cego, prospectivo, controlado por placebo, 64 pacientes com SCA foram randomizados para receber PTX ou placebo por seis meses. A PTX reduziu significativamente os níveis de PCR e TNF-α em comparação com o placebo (P=0.04 e P<0.01, respectivamente). O aumento da IL-12 foi menor com a PTX (P=0.04) e a IL-10 também caiu menos significativamente neste grupo (P<0.01). Houve uma tendência de aumento da TFG-β1 (P=0.16) no grupo da PTX. Nós concluímos que a PTX reduz a atividade pró-inflamatória e aumenta a resposta anti-inflamatória em pacientes com SCA / We hypothesized that pentoxifylline (PTX) reduces the proinflammatory and increases antiinflammatory response in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). In a double-blind, prospective, placebo-controlled study, 64 patients with ACS were randomized to receive PTX or placebo for six months. PTX significantly reduced the levels of CRP and TNF-α compared to placebo after 6 months of treatment (P=0.04 and P<0.01 respectively). IL-12 increase was lower with PTX (P=0.04) and IL-10 also declined less significantly in the PTX group compared to placebo (P<0.01). A trend towards a higher increase of TGF-β1 (P=0.16) was observed. We conclude that PTX reduces proinflammatory and increases antiinflammatory response in patients with ACS and may have beneficial clinical effects on cardiovascular events...
