Is Taurolidine a candidate for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis?

Abstract

Results from AIA and from in vitro RA FLS studies suggest that intra-articular administration of TRD could be used as a "pharmacological scalpel" to remove the inflamed synovium. Our data confirmed anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties of TRD in all experimental models encouraging further studies which should evaluate its therapeutic potential in RA.
