Product Description

Diacerein ( Diacerhein; Diacetylrhein) is slow-acting medication which acts as a potent inhibitor of pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-1B (IL-1B) production, it is indicated for osteoarthritis and chronic inflammatory arthritis. Diacerein significantly inhibits LPS-induced IL-1beta production by synovial tissue and cartilage. Diacerein (1 μM) has a significantly less inhibitory effect on cartilage synthesis than culture media containing LPS only.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Diacerein significantly inhibits LPS-induced IL-1beta production by synovial tissue and cartilage. Diacerein (1 μM) has a significantly less inhibitory effect on cartilage synthesis than culture media containing LPS only. Diacerein (1 μM) decreases NO release in synovial tissue and cartilage media and increases IL-1ra levels in cartilage culture media. Diacerein (10 μM) enhances the expression of TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta2 in cultured bovine articular chondrocytes. Diacerein reduces, in a dose-dependent manner, the interleukin-1-beta (IL-1beta)-induced MMP-13 production in osteoarthritic subchondral bone. Diacerein significantly reduces the activity of MMP-13 and cathepsin K in osteoclasts. Diacerein effectively blocks the IL-1beta effect on the osteoclast differentiation process and the survival of mature osteoclasts.

ln Vivo
Diacerein (100 mg/kg/day) significantly suppresses the paw edema and the increase in serum mucoprotein in the adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. Diacerein (30 mg/kg/day) combined with Naproxen (3 mg/kg/day) results in significantly greater anti-inflammatory activity than with naproxen alone in the adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. Diacerein (100 mg/kg/day) also significantly prevents bone loss and reduces the serum alkaline phosphatase and decreases the excretion of urinary hydroxyproline in the ovariectomized rats. Diacerein (25 mg/kg) decreases the thickness of cartilage and subchondral bone in the lesion (middle) zone of the lateral tibial plateau in Merino wethers.

Additional Infomation
4,5-diacetyloxy-9,10-dioxo-2-anthracenecarboxylic acid is an anthraquinone.
Diacerein is a prodrug which is metabolized to rhein. It is currently approved in France for the treatment of osteoarthritis although the use of diacerein is restricted due to the side effects including severe diarrhea. Diacerein is under investigation for the treatment of Insulin Resistance, Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2), and Diabetes-Related Complications.
Drug Indication
For the treatment of osteoarthritis affecting the hip or knee.
Mechanism of Action
Diacerein's active metabolite rhein [DB13174] reduces cartilage destruction by decreasing expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and -3 as well as upregulating tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases which serve to reduce the activity of several MMPs. The anti-inflammatory action of rhein reduces the level of interleukin-1beta activity which plays a large role in reduction of extracellular matrix production, MMP activity, and continued inflammation. Rhein reduces abnormal osteoblast synthetic activity through an unknown mechanism.
Pharmacodynamics
Decreases inflammation and cartilage destruction and also corrects altered osteoblast acitivity.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
