Rhein, an active metabolite of diacerein, down-regulates the production of pro-matrix metalloproteinases-1, -3, -9 and -13 and up-regulates the production of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE: Diacerein has proved to be effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the precise action mechanism of diacerein on OA is not yet fully understood. Therefore, we investigated the effects of rhein, an active metabolite of diacerein, on the production of promatrix metallopro...
