Resumen

La artrosis es una de las causas más frecuentes de dolor y discapacidad en las personas mayores. Dado el aumento de la población anciana, cada vez más se precisan de intervenciones terapéuticas que permitan retrasar sus deletéreos efectos en la salud de las personas. Por consiguiente, una política sanitaria responsable debería tener en cuenta esta demanda social y un enfoque prioritario de recursos para esta enfermedad cada vez más prevalente. El interés clínico e investigador por esta afección se ha renovado. El mayor conocimiento fisiopatológico de los cambios inmunológicos y enzimáticos que operan en la enfermedad ha modificado el concepto mecanicista que se tenía de su patogenia incorporando otro más dinámico y biológico, en que el condrocito desempeña un papel fundamental, y además sería sensible al tratamiento farmacológico, lo que retrasaría el proceso degenerativo. El sulfato de glucosamina (SG) es una molécula con un amplio abanico de acciones biológicas entre las que sobresalen la antiinflamatoria y la reguladora al alza del metabolismo de la matriz del cartílago. Recientes estudios in vitro demuestran este perfil condromodulador que favorece el anabolismo del condrocito. Igualmente, estudios a largo plazo, aleatorizados y controlados con placebo han mostrado una mejora en los síntomas y de la progresión del estrechamiento articular en personas tratadas con SG, junto con un perfil de seguridad similar al de los grupos placebo. El siguiente artículo realiza un acercamiento al control de la enfermedad con los fármacos sintomáticos de acción lenta y modificadores de la estructura en la artrosis y revisa las evidencias disponibles del SG en el tratamiento específico de la artrosis.

Palabras clave:
Artrosis
Sulfato de glucosamina
Fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad para la artrosis
Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most frequent causes of pain and disability in the elderly. Given the old population's increase, therapeutic interventions are necessary to allow retarding the deleterious effects on the health of people. Consequently, a responsible sanitary policy should keep in mind this social demand and a high-priority focus of resources for this prevalent disease. There is now a renewed clinical and research interest in this complaint. Greather physiopathological understanding of the immunological and enzymatic changes that influence the disease have modified the mechanical concept once held of its pathogenicity to include other more dynamic and biological causes in which plays a basic role. Furthermore, it would also be sensitive to pharmacological treatment, thus delaying the degenerative process. Glucosamine sulphate (GS) is a molecule with a wide range of biological actions with some of the most important being the antiinflammatory effect and an increased metabolism of the cartilage matrix. Recent studies in vitro show a profile of chondro-modulation that favors the anabolism of the chondrocyte. Similarly, long-term, prospective, placebo-controlled studies have shown an improvement in the symptoms and of the progression of the narrowing of the articular space in people treated with GS, with a profile of similar safety to the placebo groups. The following article carries out an approach to the control of the illness with the Delayed-acting symptomatic drugs and disease modyfing drugs in the OA and it reviews the available evidences of GS in the specific treatment of OA.

Key words:
Osteoarthritis
Glucosamine sulphate
Disease modyfing drugs for osteoarthritis
