Effect of D(-)penicillamine on chronic experimental arthritis in rabbits

Abstract

Preliminary observations on the effect of D(-)penicillamine on chronic antigen-induced experimental arthritis in rabbits are reported. Daily oral administration of penicillamine, at a dose equivalent to that usually administered to rheumatoid arthritis patients, diminished the arthritis in 2 out of 3 animals as assessed by both measurement of joint circumference and histological examination.
