Diacerein (Cat No.: A000159) is an anthraquinone derivative used primarily in the treatment of osteoarthritis. It exerts its therapeutic effect by inhibiting interleukin-1β (IL-1β), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in cartilage degradation. Unlike nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Diacerein acts slowly but offers sustained symptom relief with reduced gastrointestinal side effects. It also promotes cartilage repair by stimulating the synthesis of proteoglycans. Diacerein is valued for its dual action—anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective—making it a disease-modifying agent in degenerative joint disorders.
