It improves the blood supply to the joints and restores integrity of vessels obliterated by the spasm of internal damage. It exerts its action through inhibition of lipoxygenase enzyme, on the formation of Leukotreine LTB4, a novel mode of action till now. Unlike other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, S.Compound has beneficial and therapeutic effects. It has been found to be free from pre-clinical acute and chronic toxicity. Clinical studies at Government Medical College and Regional Research Laboratory, Jammu have established it to be a safe anti-arthritic and anti-asthmatic drug.

 

 

Toxicology

Chronic Toxicity in rabits for three months: Salai Guggul in 2% gum acacia in two doses and one control of 2% gum acacia were administered orally in three groups of rabits. Hematological and biochemical estimation revealed no deviation from normal parameters. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of vital organs revealed no change in weight, size, coloration and histo-pathology. Chronic toxicity in monkeys also showed no change in hematological and biochemical parameters.
