03/01/1998 - "Using the selective plasma kallikrein inhibitor P8720, we investigate whether activation of the K-K system plays a primary role in chronic granulomatous intestinal and systemic inflammation in this model. "
05/01/1996 - "P8720 therapy significantly but modestly decreased acute intestinal inflammation measured by gross gut score (P < 0.01) and more dramatically reduced the tissue myeloperoxidase activity (P < 0.05), a measure of granulocyte recruitment, in group II compared with group III. We conclude that the K-K system is directly involved in the pathogenesis of the acute phase of experimental acute inflammation. "
11/01/2005 - "It has been demostrated that therapy with a specific plasma kallikrein inhibitor (P8720) modulated the experimental enterocolitis, arthritis and systemic inflammation. "
03/01/1995 - "We investigate whether the previously shown contact system activation plays a pathogenetic role in a rat model of acute inflammation induced by peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-APS) using a new specific plasma kallikrein inhibitor, Bz-Pro-Phe-boroArg-OH (P8720). "
03/01/1998 - "P8720 attenuated the consumption of the contact proteins, high molecular weight kininogen (P<0.03), and factor XI (P<0.04) in group II vs. group III. P8720 decreased chronic intestinal inflammation measured by blinded gross (P<0.01) and histologic (P<0.0005) scores as well as systemic complications (arthritis, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, leukocytosis, and acute-phase reaction) (P<0.01) in group II as compared with group III. We conclude that relapsing chronic enterocolitis and systemic complications are in part due to plasma K-K system activation, and that inhibition of this pathway is a potential therapeutic approach to human inflammatory bowel disease and associated extraintestinal manifestations."
