Distribution of gold in rat blood after intravenous administration of auranofin, gold sodium thiomalate and aurothioglucose to rats. 1983

D T Walz, and D E Griswold, and M J DiMartino, and E E Bumbier

Serum, blood and cell-associated gold were determined at various time periods after intravenous administration of 1 mg Au/kg of auranofin (AF), gold sodium thiomalate (GSTM) and aurothioglucose (GTG). AF gold exhibited an early phase of decay with high levels of cell-association; whereas, after 72 h cell-associated gold was not detectable. In contrast, GSTM and GTG serum gold values were generally higher than blood values since cell-associated gold rarely occurred. These observations suggest that, in contrast to GSTM and GTG, intravenous administration of AF results in a dynamic equilibrium of gold between the cellular and serum compartments of blood.

D006046 Gold A yellow metallic element with the atomic symbol Au, atomic number 79, and atomic weight 197. It is used in jewelry, goldplating of other metals, as currency, and in dental restoration. Many of its clinical applications, such as ANTIRHEUMATIC AGENTS, are in the form of its salts.

D006052 Gold Sodium Thiomalate A variable mixture of the mono- and disodium salts of gold thiomalic acid used mainly for its anti-inflammatory action in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is most effective in active progressive rheumatoid arthritis and of little or no value in the presence of extensive deformities or in the treatment of other forms of arthritis.

D001310 Auranofin An oral chrysotherapeutic agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Its exact mechanism of action is unknown, but it is believed to act via immunological mechanisms and alteration of lysosomal enzyme activity. Its efficacy is slightly less than that of injected gold salts, but it is better tolerated, and side effects which occur are potentially less serious.
