Abstract

Osteoarthritis is increasingly recognized as the result of a complex interplay between inflammation, chrondrodegeneration, and pain. Joint mast cells are considered to play a key role in orchestrating this detrimental triad. ALIAmides down-modulate mast cells and more generally hyperactive cells. Here we investigated the safety and effectiveness of the ALIAmide N-palmitoyl-D-glucosamine (PGA) in inflammation and osteoarthritis pain.
