"Diacerein is a slow acting symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis which has demonstrated efficacy on functional manifestations of osteoarthritis and on the structural component. Two mechanisms of action have been validated: in vitro inhibition of interleukin-1 (IL-1) synthesis, the main cytokine involved in cartilage destruction, and activity on the synthesis of proteoglycans, and hyaluronic acid, the principal component of cartilage. Other studies presented here have provided further details concerning other mechanisms of action of diacerein", according to Presse Med., 33(9 Pt 2), S10-S12 (2004).
