Abstract Introduction Currently available treatments for osteoarthritis OA are restricted to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which exhibit numerous side effects and are only temporarily effective. Thus novel safe and more efficacious antiinflammatory agents are needed for OA. Naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds such as curcumin and resveratrol are potent agents for modulating inflammation. Both compounds mediate their effects by targeting the NF-kB signalling pathway. Methods We have recently demonstrated that in chondrocytes resveratrol modulates the NF-kB pathway by inhibiting the proteasome while curcumin modulates the activation of NF-kB by inhibiting upstream .
