Description | Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium is a potent and selective anti-HIV agent.with anti-inflammatory and pro-chondrogenic properties,and used for treatment of interstitial cystitis. |
In vitro | Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium suppresses NF-κB, decreases the proinflammatory actions of TNFα, and decreases high glucose and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) stimulated MCP-1 production[3]. |
In vivo | Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium treatment preserves renal function, significantly reduces albuminuria, and markedly decreases the severity of renal lesions, including tubulointerstitial inflammation. Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium also reduces upregulation of TNFα and proinflammatory genes in aging diabetic kidneys[3]. |
