Effects of tiaprofenic acid on urinary pyridinium crosslinks in adjuvant arthritic rats: Comparison with doxycycline

Abstract: In arthritic rats tiaprofenic acid has not only the capability to suppress paw inflammation, but also to prevent with high potency the excretion of pyridinium crosslinks. Doxycycline without inherent antiinflammatory activity does not exhibit such preserving effects on collagen degradation in this model. Thus the mode of action of cartilage protecting drugs within the complex pathogenesis of arthritis will need further elucidation.

“…The catalytic domain of human recombinant MMP-8 (hMMP-8cd; Gly99-Gln271; MW 19.9 kDa) was obtained as described previously. 26 Biological activities were determined in 96-well titer plate format in a luminescence spectrometer (LS 50B, Perkin-Elmer, Langen, FRG) using the quenched fluorigenic substrate 27 7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl acetyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-3-(2′,4′-dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diaminopropionyl-Ala-Arg-NH2 (λex ) 328 nm, λem ) 393 nm; available from Bachem, Heidelberg, Germany). Each well contained 70 µL of buffer (0.1 mol/L Tris/ HCl, pH 7.5; 0.1 mol/L NaCl; 0.01 mol/L CaCl2; 0.05% Brij 35), 10 µL of enzyme, and 10 µL of drug in 10% DMSO.…”

“…CIA was induced by a footpad method because CII plus adjuvant injection into the base of the tail causes weaker effects as compared to a direct injection into the paw [29]; this was confirmed also in our laboratory. In the latest studies of other investigators, this method is widely used for CIA induction [18,30].…”
