Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Diacerein significantly reduce the activity of MMP-13 and cathepsin K in osteoclasts. It effectively block the effects of IL-1β on bot the differentiation process of osteoclasts an the survival of mature osteoclasts. Diacerein notably inhibits IL-1β production induced by lipopolysaccharides in synovial tissues and cartilage. Dose dependently, diacerein decrease the generation of MMP-13 induced by interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) in osteoarthritic cartilage. At 1 μM, diacerein exhibits a notably lower inhibitory effect on cartilage synthesis compared to a medium containing only LPS. At this concentration diacerein also reduces nitric oxide (NO) release in the synovial and cartilage culture mediums and increases IL-1ra levels in the cartilage culture medium. At 10 μM, diacerein enhance the expression of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 in cultured bovine articular chondrocytes.
• In Vitro:
  In ovariectomized rats, daily administration of 100 mg/kg of Diacerein significantly prevented bone loss and reduced levels of serum alkaline phosphatase, as well as diminishe the excretion of hydroxyproline in urine the same daily dose of Diacerein notably suppressed paw edema an the increase of serum mucoproteins in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. In these rats the combined use of 30 mg/kg Diacerein with 3 mg/kg Naproxen daily exhibited more pronounced anti-inflammatory activity than Naproxen alone. Moreover, a the lesion site o the lateral tibial plateau in Merino sheep, 25 mg/kg Diacerein reduce the thickness o the cartilage and subchondral bone.
