We studied the effect of tranilast on the growth of carrageenin-induced granulation and the increase in capillary permeability induced by inflammatory agents in rats. In the carrageenin-induced granulation model, tranilast (50 or 100 ?? 200 mg/kg, p.o.) decreased significantly and dose-dependently the weight and the hydroxyproline content of the granulation tissue. Tranilast, however, showed no effect on the healing day of locally wounded dorsal skin of rats. Triamcinolone (10 mg/kg, p.o.) also showed an inhibitory effect on the carrageenin-induced granulation model. Tranilast (50 ?? 400 mg/kg, p.o.) dosedependently inhibited the enhancement of capillary permeability induced by the Ca ionophore A23187, bradykinin and xanthine oxidase. Moreover, tranilast (30 and 300 μM) suppressed superoxide production induced by FMLP in human neutrophils, but did not act as a superoxide scavenger. Considering that hypertrophic scar and keloid are conditions characterized by abnormal cell proliferation and excessive collagen accumulation accompanied with itch and pain, these results suggest that tranilast is useful as a therapeutic drug for hypertrophic scars and keloids.
