Uses
Anti-inflammatory (osteoarthritis
and rheumatoid arthritis).
Uses
Tenidap is one of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Tenidap is an NSAID that preferentially inhibits COX-1. Tenidap inhibits formation of pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid metabolites in isolated human peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Definition
ChEBI: Tenidap is a member of indoles, a member of ureas, a member of thiophenes and an organochlorine compound. It has a role as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and an EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitor.
Biological Activity
NSAID that preferentially inhibits COX-1 (IC 50 values are < 0.03, 1.2 and > 30 μ M for COX-1, COX-2 and 5-lipoxygenase respectively). Inhibits formation of pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid metabolites in isolated human peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Opener of inward rectifying hK IR 2.3 channel (EC 50 = 402 nM).
Mode of action
Tenidap is an anti-inflammatory agent developed by Pfizer with a unique structure that is different and distinguishable from NSAIDs. The mechanism of action of tenidap is that it has dual inhibitory effects on lipoxygenase and dioxygenase, and has antagonism on interleukin-1 (IL-1).
