Abstract
The effects of several nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, used at concentrations achievable in synovial fluid, on human osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage metallo-protease activity in vitro was studied. Acetaminophen and ketoprofen had no effect; sodium salicylate, indomethacin, and diclofenac slightly decreased proteoglycanase activity. Piroxicam and tenoxicam suppressed proteoglycanase activity by 48.2% and 68.3%, respectively, and suppressed collagenase activity by 19.1% and 36.8%, respectively. Use of these NSAIDs may help to decrease cartilage catabolism in patients with OA.Entities:
