In Vitro Rimexolone (Org 6216) shows highly enhanced persistence at the injection site, minimal systematic effects and virtually does not induce skin artrophy[1].
In Vivo Rimexolone (Org 6216) (0-450 μg/mouse; intraarticular injection; once) shows prolonged anti-inflammatory action in mice with monoarticular antigen-induced arthritis[1]. Animal Model: Male, 8-12 weeks old C57Black/6 mice with antigen induced arthritis[1] Dosage: 5, 25, 50, 150, 250, 450 μg/mouse Administration: Intraarticular injection, once Result: Suppressed the arthritis in a dose-dependent manner. Significantly prevented osteophyte formation at 450 and 150 μg. Resulted in a decrease of the inhibition of the chondrocyte proteoglycan synthesis.
