Sulfasalazine
Taken orally, this anti-inflammatory medication releases two active components in the colon — sulfapyridine and mesalazine — where they reduce the chronic inflammation driving conditions like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also being investigated for potential effects in certain cancers due to its ability to interfere with inflammatory signaling pathways.
