Comparative evaluation of Metal Chelating, Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging activity of TROIS and six products commonly used to control pain and inflammation associated with Arthritis

Abstract

Arthritis is an inflammation of joints due to infectious, metabolic or constitutional cause usually accompanied with pain, swelling, and stiffness resulting from infection, trauma, degenerative changes, metabolic disturbances, or other causes. Free radicals damage biomolecules, including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids leading to various diseases including but not limited to arthritis. The objective of the study was to investigate and compare the free radical scavenging, metal chelating, DNA repair potential and nitric oxide inhibitory property of Trois (a nano-technology based research product indicated for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis) and with six commercial brands.
