ABSTRACT
The anti-inflammatory activity of sodium pyruvate was evaluated in acute and chronic models of inflammation in rats. Oral administration of sodium pyruvate at three different dose levels of 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight significantly inhibited the carrageenan induced acute paw edema in a dose dependent manner. The effect of 500 mg/kg sodium pyruvate was comparable to that of 12.5 mg/kg of standard diclofence. In Freund's adjuvant arthritis model, oral administration of sodium pyruvate at the submaximal dose of 250 mg/kg once daily upto one week before Freund's adjuvant injection and immediately by the same route on the 7th day of adjuvant injection significantly reduced the edema at 18 hours after the challenge. The treatment was continued for 14 days thereafter in two divided doses of 125 mg/kg in the morning and 125 mg/kg in the evening. Sodium pyruvate showed significant anti-inflammatory activity at the 14th day (chronic phase) also. To conclude, sodium pyruvate exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity in both the models of inflammation which could be attributed to its antioxidant properties.
