From osteoarthritis to rheumatoid arthritis: re-exploring the molecular pathways and therapeutic potential of diacerein
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Diacerein, an anthraquinone derivative, is emerging as a promising disease-modifying agent in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), because of its potent anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective actions. Unlike nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which primarily inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, diacerein suppresses interleukin-1β, a central mediator of synovial inflammation and cartilage degradation. It also […]
