Sodium aurothiomalate (gold sodium thiomalate) is a gold compound that is used for its antirheumatic effects to treat rheumatoid arthritis. In the United Kingdom only the intramuscular injection drug Myocrisin (which contains a mixture of sodium aurothiomalate and disodium aurothiomalate) and the orally taken auranofin are used medically.
