Description
Auranofin is the first orally effective gold compound to be marketed for the
treatment of severe rheumatoid arthritis. It is better tolerated and more
convenient than gold sodium thiomalate, which is administered intramuscularly.
-
Uses
Auranofin is a new oral gold-based antiarthritis drug. Auranofin inhibits various leukocyte activation pathways at multiple sites. Auranofin inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators from human m
acrophages, basophils, and pulmonary mast cells. Auranofin is an efficient inducer of mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore in the presence of calcium ions related to its inhibition of m
itochondrial thioredoxin reductase. Auranofin inhibits both leukocyte activation pathways at multiple sites and the release of inflammatory mediators from human macrophages, basophils, and pulmonary mast cells. Auranofin also inhibits 5-lipoxygenase in human neutrophils, IKB kinase (IKK) by modifying Cys-179 of the IKKβ subunit 5 and selenoenzyme thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) which is involved in the defense against oxidative stress. Auranofin is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and has been used to study the anti-proliferative effects against OVCAR-3 human ovarian carcinoma cells.
-
Clinical Use
Auranofin is indicated in adults with active rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded sufficiently to one or more
NSAIDs.
