Gold salts may attenuate inflammatory processes by inhibiting interleukin 1 production. It is shown that sodium aurothiomalate does not act as an antipyretic after intravenous injection of two pyrogens into rabbits. Consequently, it cannot suppress interleukin 1 production, a conclusion confirmed by an in vitro lymphocyte activating factor assay. Chronic sodium aurothiomalate treatment, however, did depress the blood leucocyte count significantly.
金盐可通过抑制白细胞介素1的产生来减轻炎症过程。研究表明,向兔子静脉注射两种热原后,硫代苹果酸金钠并无退热作用。因此,它无法抑制白细胞介素1的产生,这一结论在体外淋巴细胞激活因子试验中得到了证实。然而,长期使用硫代苹果酸金钠治疗确实会使血液白细胞计数显著降低。
