The anti-arthritic effects of cytogenin (8-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-6- methoxyisocoumarin) on type II collagen-induced arthritis in DBA/1J mice and adjuvant arthritis in Lewis rats were examined. Prophylactic treatment with cytogenin (30, 100 mg/kg) had a potent inhibitory effect on type II collagen-induced arthritis. Prophylactic or therapeutic treatment with cytogenin (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) also had a potent inhibitory effect on adjuvant arthritis. In contrast to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cytogenin (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) had neither an anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rats nor an analgesic effect on acetic acid-induced writhing in mice. These results suggest that the mode of the anti-arthritic action of cytogenin is different from that of NSAIDs and that cytogenin may become a useful drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
研究了细胞生成素(8-羟基-3-羟甲基-6-甲氧基异香豆素)对DBA/1J小鼠II型胶原诱导性关节炎和Lewis大鼠佐剂性关节炎的抗关节炎作用。用细胞生成素(30、100mg/kg)进行预防性治疗对II型胶原诱导性关节炎有显著抑制作用。用细胞生成素(10、30和100mg/kg)进行预防性或治疗性治疗对佐剂性关节炎也有显著抑制作用。与非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)不同,细胞生成素(10、30和100mg/kg)对大鼠角叉菜胶诱导的爪肿胀没有抗炎作用,对小鼠乙酸诱导的扭体也没有镇痛作用。这些结果表明,细胞生成素的抗关节炎作用模式与NSAIDs不同,细胞生成素可能成为治疗类风湿性关节炎的有用药物。
