Background:Acute pancreatitis (AP) is severeinflammation ofthe pancreas that can be of two major types:mild
AP (MAP) andseveral(SAP).
Objective:To study the efficacy of Ibudilast in comparison with octreotide, in the rat model of AP.Methods:A
total of 48 male rats were divided into 8groupswith each group consisting of 6 rats. Acute Pancreatitis was
induced by L-arginine model which has a high reproducibility. Octreotide and Ibudilastwere administered
individually and in combination at 0, 8 and 16 hours after induction. After 24 hours of treatment, each rat was
weighed and blood samples were withdrawn for biochemical test for total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and for
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).Results: In Octreotide and Ibudilast groups there was a statistically significant
increase in TAC and decrease TLR4 expression. But in combination group there was no statistically significant
difference between the results obtained. Conclusion:Ibudilast and octreotide can significantly attenuate the
local and systemic effect of AP. The efficacy of ibudilast and octreotide are nearly the same. Their use as the
combination has no preferential effect compared with each drug used alone.
