Aim: to assess efficacy of a new rectal cream “Dilatil” (diltiazem/lidocaine/methyluracil) (D) in pre-clinical study on a model of acute complicated anal fissure (ACAF) in compared to rectal cream “Nifecain” (nifedipine/lidocaine) (N).
Materials and Methods: animal model of anal fissure, macroscopic assessment, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, statistical Student’s and Wilcoxon’s tests.
Results: At the end of the study in the D group, the severity of the pathological process was statistically lower than in the Control pathology (CP) and N groups. Levels of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α in the homogenate of anodermal tissue (HAT) in the D group were significantly lower compared to CP. The level of IL-6 was significantly lower in the D group compared to N.
Conclusions: better efficacy of D vs N was observed in a pre-clinical study that was also confirmed by the level of IL-10 in HAT tissue at the end of the experiment.
Keywords. Rectal cream, anal fissure, Dilatil, Nifecain, macroscopic assessment, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, IL-10, IL-6, HIF-1α, TNF-α, calcium channel blockers, diltiazem.
