KUS121 attenuates the progression of monosodium iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis in rats

Abstract Currently there is no effective treatment available for osteoarthritis (OA). We have recently developed Kyoto University Substances (KUSs), ATPase inhibitors specific for valosin-containing protein (VCP), as a novel class of medicine for cellular protection. KUSs suppressed intracellular AT...
