Abstract

Peimine (PM), a main isosterol alkaloid component isolated from the bulbs of traditional Chinese herb Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don, has been demonstrated to exhibit multiple pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammation, anti-cancer and pain suppression. However, its effect on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effect of PM on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats in vivo and its inhibition on destructive behaviors of arthritic fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) in vitro.
