Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two idiopathic inflammatory disorders of the GI tract. Manifestations of disease can be severe and lead to long term therapy with a variety of medications and/or surgery. Standard medical therapy consists of agents that either treat suppurative complications or modulate the inflammatory cascade in a non-specific manner. Many specific chemokine and cytokine effectors that promote intestinal inflammation have been identified. Such work has led to experimental clinical trials with a variety of cytokine antagonists. Compounds directed against one such cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF), have demonstrated the greatest clinical efficacy to date. This is consistent with scientific observations that suggest a central role for TNF in the inflammatory cascade. Infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against TNF that has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of Crohn's disease. Infliximab is Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease. There exist several other TNF antagonists in various phases of investigation, including the monoclonal antibody CDP 571, the fusion peptide etanercept, the phosphodiesterase inhibitor oxpentifylline, and thalidomide. The clinical efficacy of these agents and the role of TNF in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease is reviewed.
