Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG), sold under the brand name Adequan, is an injectable drug for dogs and horses that is used to alleviate the lameness, pain, and lowered range of motion caused by arthritis. It is made of repeat disaccharide units (comprising hexosamine and hexuronic acid), and is similar to glycosaminoglycans already present in the cartilage; PSGAG thus easily integrates itself there. In vitro studies have shown it to inhibit the enzymes that degrade cartilage and bone, as well as suppress inflammation and stimulate the synthesis of replacement cartilage. While it can cause an increased risk of bleeding, it is relatively safe and has a high LD50. PSGAG is one of the most widely prescribed joint treatments for horses.

dbo:abstract
  • El glicosaminoglicano polisulfatado (o PSGAG, por ser 'polisulfated glycosaminoglycan' en inglés), vendido con el nombre comercial Adequan, es un fármaco inyectable que se usa en perros y caballos para tratar la cojera, el rango de movimiento disminuido y el dolor que vienen con la artritis, y es una de los suplementos para las articulaciones más prescritos para caballos.​ Es hecho de disacáridos repetidos—los cuales son hexosamina ligado a ácido hexurónico—y es similar a los glicosaminoglucanos que ya hay en el cartílago, y por esta razón, se integra fácilmente.​​ Investigaciones in vitro han demostrado que PSGAG trabaja por inhibir los enzimas que degradan el cartílago y los huesos, y también inhibe la inflamación y estimula la síntesis de más cartílago. Aunque puede alcanzar el riesgo de sangrar, es relativamente seguro y tiene un LD50 alto. Se prescriba PSGAG mucho; sin embargo, algunas investigaciones aún muestran resultas conflictivas en lo que respeta la eficacia, que lleva a algunos a sostener que el PSGAG no es el único responsable para el alivio de artritis en los casos de mucho éxito.​ (es)

While it is widely used, some studies still show conflicting results in terms of efficacy, causing some to claim that PSGAG is not solely responsible for the significant mitigation of arthritis seen in success cases.
