Diacerein impurity B EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Laxative/cathartic compound; increases the contraction of intestinal smooth muscle by releasing endogenous acetylcholine. Anti-tumor activity is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that, in turn, reduces the mitochondrial transmembrane electrical potential, thus inducing a permeability transition that sets in motion a series of events culminating in cellular apoptosis. Genotoxicity and mutagenicity appear to be due to the inhibition of topoisomerase II activity by aloe emodin. |
| General description: |
Diacerein is known to be a suitable drug to treat osteoarthritis and prevent vascular diseases. It is a semi-synthetic anthraquinone derivative which acts by inhibiting the production of interleukin-1 and secretion of metalloproteases. |
