Diacerein is a slow-acting symptomatic drug for osteoarthritis (SYSADOA) with anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective properties. It is primarily used to:
• Reduce joint pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis
• Protect cartilage from degradation
It is considered an alternative to NSAIDs for long-term management, especially when avoiding gastrointestinal side effects.
Primary Action: Inhibits interleukin-1β (IL-1β) activity, a major mediator in cartilage degradation.
Reduces matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which break down cartilage extracellular matrix.
Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines in synovial fluid.
Stimulates synthesis of proteoglycans and collagen in cartilage.
