Abstract
Summary
In summary, we have shown that two topically useful antipsoriatic agents, anthralin and anthralin triacetate, both exert potent anti-inflammatory effects on oral administration. Anthralin further shows antiarthritic activity, inhibiting the cellular mediated immune processes as evidenced by suppression of both secondary lesions and skin wheal in the rat model. These data are preliminary in nature and further studies are in progress to elaborate on the biological profile of these two agents.
