Uses
Nimesulide is a selective inhibitor of COX-2. The IC50 values are 70 and 1.27 μM for human recombinant COX-1 and -2 (at 20 μM arachidonic acid), respectively, and 22 and 0.03 μM for ovine COX-1 and -2 (at 100 μM arachidonic acid), respectively.[Cayman Chemical]
Definition
ChEBI:Nimesulide is an aromatic ether having phenyl and 2-methylsulfonamido-5-nitrophenyl as the two aryl groups. It has a role as a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is a C-nitro compound, a sulfonamide and an aromatic ether. It is functionally related to a nitrobenzene.
General Description
Nimesulide, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belongs to the sulfonanilide class.
Biological Activity
Selective, orally active cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. Produces potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities in vivo . Reported to produce fewer gastrointestinal side effects than standard NSAIDs.牋.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor.
Clinical Use
Nimesulide is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory/analgesic agent useful in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, as well as acute inflammation such as that
induced by periodontal surgery or urinary tract infections.
