Minocycline for rheumatoid arthritis
Minocycline and other tetracyclines are known and used in medicine primarily
for their antibiotic properties. However, minocycline has various anti-inflammatory
actions that may make it useful for treating rheumatoid arthritis. The
use of antibiotic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis was pioneered some
50 years ago by Dr Thomas McPherson Brown, who claimed that the disease
was caused by Mycoplasma infection in the joints.
Recent research shows that, besides their antibiotic effects, minocycline
and some other tetracyclines, can block the actions of enzymes called
metalloproteinases that play a role in the destruction of bone and cartilage
in the joints in rheumatoid arthritis. There is also evidence that these
drugs can dampen or modify some of the body's inflammatory responses.
Results of a 48-week multicenter clinical study of 219 adults with
rheumatoid arthritis show that the drug minocycline reduces joint pain
and swelling and is safe in patients with mild to moderate disease.
Minocycline may improve control of disease activity and provide relief
from swollen, tender joints. Minocycline is not currently FDA-approved
for arthritis and while it could be as effective as antimalarials or
sulfasalazine, many rheumatologists use it in milder cases.
