FOREWORD
The ACS S Y M P O S I U M SERIES was founded in 1974 to provide
a medium for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The
format of the Series parallels that of the continuing A D V A N C E S
IN C H E M I S T R Y SERIES except that in order to save time the
papers are not typeset but are reproduced as they are submitted
by the authors in camera-ready form. Papers are reviewed
under the supervision of the Editors with the assistance of the
Series Advisory Board and are selected to maintain the integrity
of the symposia; however, verbatim reproductions of previously
published papers are not accepted. Both reviews and reports
of research are acceptable since symposia may embrace both
types of presentation.

has arisen because of the development of the first effective, orally admin
istered antiarthritic gold complex, RSAuPEt , where R is a thioglucose
3
derivative. As with the platinum antitumor drugs, the most powerful new
methods are beginning to be applied to studies of the mechanism of action
of this and other chrysotherapeutic agents. Two of the new methods are
multinuclear N M R and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS)
spectroscopy.
The present volume discusses these topics through reports from most
of the laboratories represented at the Las Vegas meeting, including several
interesting papers presented in the poster sessions. I am grateful to the
authors for their prompt submission of manuscripts, assistance with refer-
eeing, and overall cooperation in helping to make the meeting and this

volume a success. I also thank Dr. Barnett Rosenberg and Dr. Luigi Mar-
zilli for help in planning the symposium. Financial assistance from the
Donors of the Petroleum Research Fund administered by the American
Chemical Society; the Inorganic Division of the ACS; Engelhard Indus
tries; INCO Research and Development Center; Johnson Matthey, Inc.;
and Smith Kline and French Laboratories to support the symposium is
gratefully acknowledged. Through their help it was possible to bring many
foreign scientists to the meeting, the contributions of whom form an im
portant part of this book.

The two upper curves without irradiation indicate that cis-DDP produced no detectable DNA
breakage. The two lower curves quantify DNA crosslinking as the DNA from cells treated
with cis-DDP exhibiting slower elution kinetics than the DNA from control cells when both
had received prior irradiation (600 R). The abscissa is generated by the coelution of oppositely

The a b i l i t y of cis-DDP to decrease the e f f e c t i v e l e n g t h of the
plasmid i s g r e a t l y reduced, however, when platinum i s bound i n the
presence of ethidium. Figure 4 shows that the presence of e t h i d -

I I DNA when compared w i t h the m o b i l i t y of c o n t r o l p l a t i n a t e d DNA.
This d i f f e r e n c e i n m o b i l i t y i s not due to a d i f f e r e n c e i n the
amount of bound platinum (see Figure 2 ) , and i t depends upon the
amount of ethidium present d u r i n g p l a t i n a t i o n .
A p l o t of g e l m o b i l i t y versus the amount of platinum bound,
Figure 5> demonstrates t h i s d i f f e r e n c e . We compare g e l m o b i l i t i e s
of samples p l a t i n a t e d w i t h a formal r a t i o of one cis-DDP per

normalized to 0 f o r form I I and 1.0 f o r form I DNA i n the c o n t r o l

forms I and I I comigrate i n the g e l when platinum i s bound i n the

These changes i n g e l m o b i l i t y can be c o r r e l a t e d to changes i n

change i n the long wavelength part of the spectrum but the 250 nm
band i s reduced in intensity. At r, = 0.1 and above, the positive
absorbance at 295 nm, which i s a snoulder i n the spectrum of the
unmodified polymer, increases dramatically i n intensity up to a
saturation binding level of approximately r^ = 0.33· A plot of
molar e l l i p t i c i t y at 295 nm versus r^ (not shown) reveals a s i g -
moidal shape characteristic of a cooperative transition. The
cooperative nature of the binding and the fact that the saturation
binding level of [(dien)Pt] i s one per three nucleotides i n d i -
cate the formation of a stable, regular structure. This structure
appears to be related to the monofunctional nature of [(dien)Pt]
since neither c i s - nor trans-DPP produce the effect.
The spectral changes noted above are not consistent with the
transition from right(B)- to left(Z)-handed PNA ( 5 6 ) , however.
Under the salt and buffer conditions used i n these experiments we
were unable to induce the B*Z transition i n the absence of ethanol
which lowers the water activity. MaLÇoy et_ a l . (57) could bring
about the transition with [(dien)Pt] alone by u s i M very low
salt buffers and excluding EPTA. When [(dien)Pt] binds to
poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) at r = 0.054 and 0.093, for instance, the
amount of ethanol necessary to bring about the Ζ conformation i s
reduced from 55$ for unmodified polymer to 36$ and 25$, respect
ively (54). Interestingly, samples with r^ values greater than
0.1 and which showed the large positive CP absorption at 295 nm
could not be converted to Z-PNA, even at very high ethanol concen
trations. Moreover, when poly(dG-dC)»poly(dG-dC) i n the Ζ confor
mation (55$ ethanol) was allowed to react with saturating amounts
of [(dien)PtC£]Cil, the CP spectrum showed the large absorbance at
295 nm after removal of ethanol. Therefore, the polymer could not
be "locked into" the Ζ conformation by the platinum reagent.
Independent„jevidence supporting the occurrence of Z-PNA was
obtained by ^ Ρ NMR spectroscopy (56) as shown ^n Figure 11. The
conformational changes induced by [(dien)Pt] are completely
reversible as shown by experiments in which the platinated PNA was
treated with NaCN. Following removal of the platinum the normal
amount of ethanol (55$) was necessary to induce the Ζ confor
mation.

Aliquots of cis- or trans-Z)DP were taken at different times and added to a solution of EtdBr.
Fluorescence measurements were performed as previously described (32), and platinum bound
to DNA was determined from standard curve of η vs. fluorescence. For [Pt(dien)Cl]Cl, aliquots
were taken at different times, and the reaction was stopped by increasing the Cl~ concentration
to 1 M. These samples were then passed through Sepharose-6B columns in order to remove the
unreacted platinum, and the concentration and the r» of the platinum-DNA complexes were
determined.

Although the existence of tautomer complexes of u r a c i l and thy-

Data Reduction
The raw data were processed as described in the literature (2SL22.M.22). The
procedure involves (a) transformation of the absorption data from energy space into
momentum or k-space according to the equation,
1/2
2
k= [(2m/!î )(E-E ) 0 (1)

followed by (b) background subtraction using a cubic spline, (c) k -weighting,
(d) normalization of the edge-jump, and (e) corrections for the fall-off in absorption

cross-section according to Victoreen's equation (40). The resultant k X ( k ) vs. k plots
are shown as solid curves in Figure 3.
Fourier transforms of the k-space data are depicted as solid curves in Figure 4.
T o obtain the actual distances, r, a phase-shift factor must be added to the apparent

distance, r*, in the Fourier transform. This phase-shift may be estimated from model
compounds. However, more accurate values for r can be obtained from curve-fitting as
described below.
For the purposes of this study, the first two major maxima in the Fourier
transform, corresponding to the M - N (M=Pt or Pd) and M - S or M - C l distances, were
Fourier filtered and back-transformed into k-space. T h e filtering windows are shown as
dashed curves in Figure 4 and the back-transformed, filtered data in k-space are shown
as clashed curves in Figure 3.
A non-linear least-squares minimization technique was used to fit the filtered
spectrum with a semi-empirical expression for the E X A F S as follows:
(2)
A set of best-fit values (denoted by subscript bf) were obtaind by curve-fitting the
filtered k-space data. Plots of the filtered data (solid curve) and associated best-fit
values (dashed curve) are shown in Figure 5. These results, which are based upon
theory, and hence totally independent of "model" compounds, are listed in the left-hand
portion of Table I, under the heading "BFBT results" (best-fit based upon theory).
The P d - N distances are between 1 . 9 7 À and 2 . 0 4 Â for the compounds studied.
The P t - N distances range from 2 . 0 4 Â to 2 . 0 6 Â . The Pd-S and Pt-S B F B T distances, as
well as the Pd-Cl and Pt-Cl distances, are all around 2 . 3 3 À . These distances are within
the ranges of expected values. For comparison, the average value for the Pt-Cl
distance in cis — P t ( N H ) C l is 2 . 3 3 1 Â . However, the coordination numbers (N) were

Discussion
Transition metal complexes of 6-mercaptopurines have been characterized with
three binding modes: N-only, S(6)-only and [N(7)-S(6)] chelation. Two additional
binding modes, the [N(l)-S(6)] chelate and the [N(3)-N(9)] chelate, have also been

shows the cis configuration and these authors argued that the cj& geometry allows
maximum x-backbonding to sulfur (in other words, that a soft ligand like sulfur prefers
to be opposite a hard ligand like nitrogen). Our present E X A F S data do not allow us to
distinguish the and trans, isomers.
Finally, we should point out that the existence of N(7)-S(6) chelates to platinum
does not mean that N(7)-0(6) chelates to platinum are also present in the
corresponding platinum-purine complexes. In fact, Heitner and Lippard have pointed
out that the steric requirements for a [N—C—C—S—M] five-membered ring are
significantly different from those for a [ N - C - C - O - M ] five-member ring, so that the
existence of the former does not necessarily imply the existence of the latter.
Conclusion
The purpose of these experiments was to determine the binding mode of 6-
mercaptopurineriboside to platinum using EXAFS spectroscopy. The Pt-EXAFS data
presented here establish the presence of two nitrogen and two sulfur atoms at normal
bonding distances from the platinum in Pt(6—mercaptopurineriboside)2 and
Pt(2—amino—6—mercaptopurine—riboside)2 . For Pt(6—MPR)2 and
Pt(2-NH2-6-MPR)2, wefindPt-N - 2.02(2)À, Pt-S - 2.31(1)Â. The results from
the Pt complexes in conjunction with the Pd-EXAFS, also presented here, [of
Pd(6-MPR)2 and Pd(2-A-6-MPR)2 which are chemical analogs of the known N(7)-
S(6) chelate Pd(9—benzyl—6—mercaptopurine)2 (2Q,21)1, define the binding mode in
the Pt-complexes of this study to be of the [N(7)-S(6)]-chelate type.

The choice of a model compound with two nitrogen and two chlorine neighbors
(hereafter designated as Pt—N2C12) [i.e., cis—Pt(NH3)2Cl2; compound A] for an
unknown with two nitrogen and two sulfur (Pt-N^) neighbors is not unreasonable.
Small differences in atomic number are not distinguishable using EXAFS. To
demonstrate this point, the cis—Pt(NH3)2Cl2 data wasfitusing the theory for (Pt-N,S)
and then again with (Pt-N,Cl) theory. The resulting best-fit values are shown in
Table Π. Note that the a and r values are very similar.
Correlations between the parameters Bj and σ} and ΔΕ£. and η within each term
can affect the accuracy of the best-fit results. An even worse problem for the present
system is that the phase and amplitude functions for the two types of neighbors
(nitrogen and sulfur or chlorine) are not sufficiently different to prevent "trade offs"
between the two terms. Both of these problems can be circumvented by the FABM
method.
To explore and characterize the Bj vs. σ} correlation, a series offitsare made for
each absorber-backscatt ere r pair. For thesefitsthe parameter σ} isfixedat various
values in the vicinity of the best fit value, abf. While least-squares refining the
parameters IJ, ΔΕ£., Bj, and Bj the parameters σ{, τ·χ and ΔΕ£. are held at their best-fit
values, here i and j denote two different terms. The Bj values are then plotted against
σ} to give a graphical representation of the correlation. This correlation is fit with a
quadratic least-squares curve (goodness-of-fit R > 0.998). The correlation of ΔΕ£. and
η is probed in a similar manner. A series offitsis performed byfixingη at values
around its best-fit value and allowing ΔΕ£., σν Bj and Bj to refine while holding AEg., σχ
and η at their best-fit values. The ΔΕ|! values are then plotted against Δη = IJ — (rbf)j.
The plots of ΔΕξ vs. Δη generally exhibit linear behavior. However, if a compound
shows significant deviation from linearity, a quadratic term is added to reflect the
curvature. In either case R > 0.998.

The correlation curves for the platinum and palladium compounds are plotted in
Figure 6 and Figure 7 respectively: (a) Δ Ε £ vs. ΔΓ plots for M - N ; (b) Δ Ε | vs. ΔΓ plots
for M - X ; (c) Β vs. σ plots for M - N ; (d) Β vs. σ plots for M - X (M=Pt or Pd; X=C1 or
S). T h e regression coefficients corresponding to the curves are tabulated in Table III.
The fact that the curvatures and slopes of the curves within each figure are quite similar
is a strong indication that we have chosen reasonable model compounds for our
unknown systems.
The F A B M procedure makes use of these curves as described below. The results
are collected into Table IV with the best-fit values and relevant intermediate variables.
The Β values and σ values are now related as Bj — b + b σ + ο σ / . The ΔΕ£. values

The distance correction Δ η is determined for each term of each unknown from
the characteristic ΔΕΟ.. The ΔΕΟ. is obtained using a Ar m for the model compound
calculated as Ar m = r ^ — r . A t Ar , ΔΕΟ is found using the Δ Ε £ vs. ΔΓ correlation
bf m
curve of the model compound. The values of A r m and Δ Ε ο thus determined are:

The correction, ΔΓ, for each bond-type is then determined from the AEg vs. ΔΓ
curve of the unknown at Δ Ε * . In this way the Δ Ε * from the model is transferred to the
unknown and a small adjustment, ΔΓ, is determined and applied to r b f
R
(FABM β r
bf + ΔΓ). The final distances are given in Table I and repeated in Table I V ,
along with the starting values and intermediate results.
To determine the coordination numbers, the best-fit Debye-Waller factors

χ σ ^ _ — 0.057Â
Ν and σ ^ χ — 0 . 0 5 5 Â ; (where Χ
indicates S or Cl) of the models ( A and D ) were transferred to the corresponding terms
of the unknowns (B, C and E , F ) .
For each type of bond, the Β values of the model compounds, B , and the m
unknowns, B , are determined from the Β vs. σ correlation curves (subscripts m and u
m
refer to model and unknown respectively). The B m values of the model compounds
((A) Bpt_ == 1.132, B p ^ = 0.694; (D)
N x B P d _ N - 0.722, B P d _ x = 0.848) are used to
determine a amplitude reduction factor, S*. Which is just a proportionality factor such
that S* = Bn/Nm where N m is the known coordination number of the model.
The coordination numbers for the unknowns, N , are
u then calculated as
N u — BJS*. The final values of the unknown coordination numbers are listed in
Table I and also in Table IV with the values of intermediate variables B , S* and B . m u

With few exceptions, approaches to ruthenium
antineoplastic agents have related to the putative mechanism 1 8
of action of the clinically employed c i s - C ^ N ^ K P t . ' The
binding of ammine complexes of both Ru(II) and Ru(III) to
nucleotides and nucleic acids is, in many ways, analogous to
9
that of cisplatin. ' On the other hand, ruthenium(II)
complexes usually undergo ligand substitution somewhat more
rapidly and the tripositive oxidation state is much more
accessible under mild conditions. Advantage can be taken
from the ready availability of both the Ru(II) and Ru(III)
oxidation states under physiological conditions and the
general inertness of these ions toward substitution, when
coordinated to nitrogen ligands.

Auranofin, (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-
D-glucopyranosato-S)(triethylphosphine)gold is a new
compound for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Gold has a long medical history. Gold compounds
were first investigated for RA treatment because of
the reported relief of joint pain in tubercular
patients being treated unsuccessfully with sodium
aurothiosulfate. Use of gold therapy and its
mechanism of therapeutic benefit have long been
controversial. However, clinical studies reported
in 1960 confirmed its antiarthritic value.
Auranofin has several potential advantages over gold
compounds in use today, most important is its route
of administration. It is clinically effective when
administered orally. Other gold compounds must be
given by injection. Auranofin's unique therapeutic
properties may be due in part to physical and
chemical characteristics which differ markedly from
those of currently used agents.

History
s t r i k i n g r e s u l t s (19).
The f i r s t report of the s u c c e s s f u l use of gold compounds
i n t r e a t i n g a r t h r i t i s induced i n experimental animals was
that of Sabin and Warren i n 1940 (20). Intravenous
i n j e c t i o n of a pleuropneumonia-like microorganism (Type Β
s t r a i n ) w i t h a p a r t i c u l a r a f f i n i t y f o r the j o i n t s of the
animals (mice) produced a migratory and progressive
p o l y a r t h r i t i s l e a d i n g to a n k y l o s i s i n two to four months. A
v a r i e t y of g o l d ( l ) t h i o l a t e s e x h i b i t e d p r o p h y l a c t i c
prevention as w e l l as t h e r a p e u t i c r e v e r s a l of the a r t h r i t i c
syndrome i n the i n f e c t e d mice. I t was noted that the
i n f e c t i o u s agent was c l e a r e d q u i c k l y from the v a s c u l a r
system and l o c a l i z e d i n the j o i n t areas. G o l d ( l ) t h i o l a t e s
d i d not i n h i b i t growth o f the pleuropneumonia-like
microorganism i n v i t r o l e a d i n g the authors to hypothesize an
i n v i v o a c t i v a t i o n of the r e t i c u l o e n d o t h e l i a l system as a
mechanism whereby the gold s a l t s produced t h e i r e f f e c t s .
G o l d ( l l l ) i n the form of sodium t e t r a c h l o r o a u r a t e was
somewhat b e n e f i c i a l at a near t o x i c dose l e v e l . C o l l o i d a l
g o l d was i n e f f e c t i v e . Freyberg and co-workers l a t e r
reproduced t h i s a r t h r i t i c mouse model and demonstrated that
the b e n e f i c i a l e f f e c t s of gold c o o r d i n a t i o n compounds
r e s i d e d i n the gold c o n t a i n i n g complexes and not i n the
t h i o l l i g a n d (21). Sodium aurothiomalate was 100% p r o t e c t i v e
when administered i n t r a v e n o u s l y at a dose of 2 or 4 mg/mouse
on a l t e r n a t e days u n t i l 9 or 10 i n j e c t i o n s had been given.
Sodium thiomalate was i n e f f e c t i v e at doses as h i g h as 15.4
mg administered i n the same regimen. Sodium succinimide
aurate, a compound not c o n t a i n i n g a t h i o l l i g a n d was e q u a l l y

More medical questions include: what is the mode of action of the gold
drugs, what is the site of action, what causes the toxic side effects such
as renal failure and how can side effects be prevented or reduced?
We have attempted to answer several of these questions and will
dwell here on our results concerning drug structure in solid and solution
and on a somewhat detailed knowledge of the form of gold deposits
accumulated in the kidneys.
foil. The plots are typical in that all the gold(III) complexes we have
examined are characterized by a sharp spike at 11.920 (1) Kev, whereas
the spike is missing from the edge spectra of gold foil and also of all
the gold(I) complexes we fiave examined. These results may be
interpreted most simply as follows: the L™, edge results from the
excitation of a 2p electron. Above the edge energy, this electron is
excited to the continuum. However, the 2p electron can also be
promoted to a bound state subject to the selection rule, ai = ±1. For a
2p electron this means transitions to s and d ..slates are allowed (19).
The electron configuration for Au(0) is Xe 4f *5dT 6s , that for Au(I)
A 4 l u 14
is Xe 4 f 5 d and that for Au(III) is Xe 4f 5 d * . Thus, the gold(III)
complexes have a vacancy in the 5d orbitals and the spike in the
absorption edge may be ascribed to the 2p-> 5d transition. Since both
gold(0) and gold(I) have a filled 5d subshell, this transition is not
possible and the spike is not seen. Gold(0) metal has an extremely
characteristic absorption spectrum above the edge as may be seen in
Figure 3. These two sharp peaks at 11.945 and 11.967 Kev serve to
differentiate gold(0) from gold(I). We have also obtained spectra from
colloidal gold(0), generated in such a way to give particles of gold metal
with a mean diameter of 64 nm (20), much smaller than the size of
aurosomes seen in electron micrographs. The sol spectra are identical
to that shown from gold foil in Figure 3. XANES for gold foil and the
chronic dose sodium gold(I)thiomalate aurosomes are compared in
Figure 4. Clearly the spike which characterizes gold(III) complexes is
missing in the aurosome spectrum and thus the gold in these aurosomes
has not been oxidized to gold(III). Similarly, comparison with the
gold(0) foil spectrum indicates that aurosomal gold has not been
reduced to colloidal gold(0). Thus, these aurosomes contain gold(I).
(Gold(n) may be ruled out on several bases. First, it is extremely rare.
Second, the gold(II) cytidine complex (8) which we have examined and
which might be of biological relevance shows a spike similar to that for
gold(III), a finding not too surprising in view of the Xe 4f 5d
electron configuration expected for gold(II).)
XANES for the gokkni) tetrachloride induced aurosomes and for
gold foil are compared in Figure 5. Once again, it is clearly evident
that the gold in these aurosomes is gold(I). Thus, the administration of
gold(III) tetrachloride has been followed by rapid reduction to gold(I). It

thermal and positional disorder, that is, all neighbors in all sites are not
at exactly the same distances. If there are several types of neighbor
atoms (or the same kinds of atoms but at different distances) then
interferences or a beat pattern results in the EXAFS which most simply
arises, from the sum of the individual sine waves. Thus, the EXAFS data
in this form can show whether the absorber has only one type of
neighbor. As shown in Figure 9, the maximum in the amplitude
envelope occurs at different Κ values for different absorber-scatterer
pairs. Three scatterers, widely different in atomic number, are used.
In general, the peak in the amplitude envelope moves to higher Κ for
higher atomic number scatterers, occurring ca. K=2 for nitrogen, ca.
K=5 for chlorine and ca. K=9 for bromine. For a simple EXAFS pattern
it is relatively easy to guess the approximate atomic number of the
scattering partner. A comparison of Figures 9 and 8 will show there is
Publication Date: January 26, 1983 | doi: 10.1021/bk-1983-0209.ch020
relatively little difference between the EXAFS when the neighbors are
changed from sulfur to chlorine. (The position of the maximum in the
amplitude envelope will depend on the power of Κ used to weight the
EXAFS. Κ 2 is used here.)
Aurosome Results
The results of fitting the chronic dose sodium gold(I)thiomalate
aurosomes based on a sodium bis(thiosulfato)gold(I) model (23) are
presented in Figure 11 and the values derived from the fit are listed in
Table I. A first attempt to fit to a gold-nitrogen environment is
disasterous, the gold coordination number becomes negative and the
bond distance unrealistically short. A fit with sulfur neighbors is much
better giving a reasonable coordination numbr of 1.8 and bond distance
of 2.30 R. An attempt to fit two sets of neighbor atoms, nitrogen and
sulfur results in an apparently better fit value, however, there are now
four variable parameters and the nitrogen coordination number is
unreasonably low at 0.4 with an extremely short distance of 1.90 A .

This result merely indicates that nitrogen is not in the gold coordination
sphere. A phosphorus fit is included to show that we are unable to
distinguish between sulfur and phosphorus neighbors on the basis of
curve fitting. However, both on the basis of the XANES data which
shows no evidence of phosphorus coordination and chemical sense we
are able to rule out phosphorus coordination here. Based on our
experience in fitting known compounds and the results of Hodgson's
group (22) for an extensive series of molybdenum complexes, the errors
which we expect in these calculations are ca. 0.02 R in distance and ca.
20% in coordination number. Thus, we feel confident that the gold in
these aurosomes is bound to two sulfur atoms at a distance of 2.30 R.

Sodium gold(I)thiomalate has been fit successfully with sulfur neighbors
giving coordination numbers ca. two and bond distances of 2.29 R in
solutions of 0.14 and 0.015 M concentration. This requires the
compounds to be polymeric with bridging sulfur atoms since thiomalic
acid has a single thiolate function. From the minor differences
between the aurosome fit and the fit to the drug Myochrisin it is not
possible to exclude that aurosomes might be mere storehouses of the
drug. On the basis of rather low circulating concentrations of gold in
the blood (24), it seems unlikely that the polymer would remain intact.
Also, the liïmilarity of the fit aurosome data to that from the
gold(III)tetraehloride aurosomes (which we have yet to fit) would
suggest that aurosomes contain a drug metabolite.
Possible metabolites previously suggested include gold complexes
of cysteine and glutathione (25). We have examined solid samples of
each of these and find them to fit satisfactorily to a model in which
gold is coordinated to two bridging sulfur atoms with bond lengths
identical to those found in the chronic sodium gold(I)thiomalate auro-
somes.
Conclusions
X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows considerable promise as a
powerful tool to aid in the elucidation of the role of gold-based

Conclusions
The study of osmarins as potential arthritic agents follows
directly, in this case, from the Boussina, et a l . , suggestion
that osmium containing deposits may have long term beneficial
effects in arthritis treatment. Osmarins exhibit properties,
e.g. low toxicity and tissue staining and retention, which are
thought necessary for such an application. In preliminary
experiments involving dogs and pigs, favorable responses to
treatment have been observed. We propose that osmarins in a
joint, may react with superoxide ion and thereby protect the
synovial fluid from damage by this species.
A secondary finding in the study is that osmarins have a
short term effect upon the synovial membrane. This effect may
