In osteoarthritis

Gucosamine (chitosamine) 2-Ami no-2-deoxy glucose Anti arthritic in osteoarthritis Well-tolerated No direct toxic effects have been reported. 

Chitosan freeze-dried fleeces support chondrocyte attachment and synthesis of extracellular matrix [344]. Chitosan was used to assist the spontaneous tissue repair of the meniscus [345]. The repair of the cartilage and the prevention of its degradation in osteoarthritis is, however, possible with the association of glucosamine sulfate salt and chondroitine sulfate, the latter being particularly effective [346].
