Description
Pentosan or Sodium pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is a medication used in humans for more than 60 years. It is a semi-synthetic complex carbohydrate manufactured from European beech xylans and is well tolerated by the body. Pentosan polysulfate is commonly used for the relief of osteoarthritis. The mechanism of PPS action in osteoarthritis is multifactorial, with both stimulation of cartilage synthesis and aids in the prevention of cartilage breakdown. In one study they found that Pentosan increases both the production and the molecular weight of hyaluronan.
Pentosan is a potent anti-inflammatory and inhibitor of cartilage enzymatic breakdown.
Pentosan has multiple mechanisms of action:
– Improve blood flow to the sub-chondral bone under the worn cartilage
– Stimulate of cartilage matrix synthesis
– Prevent cartilage breakdown by enzymes
– Maintain the proteoglycan content in the articular cartilage
