Diacerein Capsules (50mg; alone or with Glucosamine Sulphate 500mg/750mg) is an anthraquinone-derivative symptomatic slow-acting drug in osteoarthritis (SYSADOA) on the PMBI formulary. It is metabolized to rhein, which potently and selectively inhibits the synthesis and activity of Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), the master cytokine driving cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation. It downregulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13) and stimulates chondrocyte synthesis of proteoglycans, aggrecan, and hyaluronic acid without inhibiting cyclooxygenase or causing gastric ulceration. Indicated for symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee and hip.
