title: Studies into the mode of action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs using a model of facsimile synovium.
abstract: The effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammation produced in the 6-day old air pouch by carrageenan or calcium pyrophosphate crystals has been examined. The system is a very reproducible way of studying the cellular and vascular components of inflammation. Non-steroidal drugs have different profiles of activity when tested on the inflammation produced with the two irritants. In general, however, the tested compounds showed similar activity on individual models.
