The Editor retracts “Appraisal of the Antiarthritic Potential of Prazosin via Inhibition of Proinflammatory Cytokine TNF-α: A Key Player in Rheumatoid Arthritis” (DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.0c05698) due to inconsistencies in the raw data of Table 1, the histological image in Figure 4d (identified as prazosin-treated) was found to be a duplication to Figure 4c (identified as amlodipine-treated) in 10.1007/s10787-020-00692-9, and the radiographic image in Figure 4b (normal control) was found to be a duplication to Figure 3c (piroxicam-treated) in 10.1021/acsomega.0c05054. In addition, the controls were reused across these three experiments, which raises concerns about proper experimental set up and therefore the reliability of the results presented. As such, the article is being retracted.
