    Abstract:
    Leflunomide is an antirheumatic drug. One of its main features is its ability to inhibit de novo pyrimidine ribonucleotide biosynthesis. It has been reported as an effective drug in the treatment of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Recently pilot studies have demonstrated the benefit of leflunomide in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Herein we describe the successful treatment of two lupus patients with leflunomide and review the current literature.
