Biological Activity
Auranofin, also known as Ridaura and SKF-39162, is an oral chrysotherapeutic agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Auranofin's exact mechanism of action is unknown, but it is believed to act via immunological mechanisms and alteration of lysosomal enzyme activity. Auranofin's efficacy is slightly less than that of injected gold salts, but it is better tolerated, and side effects which occur are potentially less serious.
