APPA, is a patented, combination oral therapy of two synthetically produced isomers, an investigational NFkB and Nrf2 modulator, essential for maintaining coordinated cellular responses to resolve the inflammatory status of the cell/tissue.
Results from the study, conducted by Instituto de Investigación Biomedica da Coruña, Spain, found that APPA, an NRf2 and NFkB regulator, has a clear anti-inflammatory effect on human articular chondrocytes, and could reduce extracellular matrix degradation of cartilage.
Results from one study, conducted by Nordic Biosciences found that APPA, an NRf2 and NFkB regulator, reduces inflammation-derived tissue turnover in human cartilage explants and inhibits RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by human osteoclasts.
