Phenylbutazone, often referred to as "bute,"is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic drug (NSAID) for the short-term treatment of pain and fever results from rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gouty arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
Phenylbutazone has been removed from the United States market due to the availability of newer drugs with less adverse effects. Phenylbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) effective in treating fever, pain, and inflammation in the body. As a group, NSAIDs are non-narcotic relievers of mild to moderate pain of many causes, including injury, menstrual cramps, arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions.
It is soluble in acetone, chloroform or benzene freely; soluble in ethanol or ether; hardly soluble in water; soluble in sodium hydroxide solution.
Recent studies have found that the generating mechanism from phenylbutazone anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-rheumatic effect is not due to pituitary-adrenal excitement may be due to drugs that inhibit the generation of inflammatory tissue inflammation related active substances, such as synthesis of prostaglandins, white blood cells activities and transfer, release and activity of lysosomal enzymes; pain may also inhibit prostaglandin synthesis results.
Oral absorption effect is quickly and completely, reached the peak plasma concentration after about 2 hours. Plasma protein binding rate is 98%. The apparent volume of distribution is 0.12L/kg, such as increasing the dose, volume of distribution has also increased, but the blood concentration does not increase. Therefore, when using repeatedly, the steady-state plasma concentration does not increase linearly. The half-life is 56 to 86 hours. It can cross the placenta into the milk. This product is metabolized by the liver, metabolites is hydroxy phenylbutazone and γ-hydroxy phenylbutazone, still active, The final metabolites are excreted in urine and a small amount of bile is excreted through the urine.
The side effects of phenylbutazone incidence rate is about 10%~20%, gastrointestinal irritation can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, overdose can cause peptic ulcer, blood in the stool. Damages also occur in other systems, such as rash, dizziness, hematuria, hepatitis, etc. Inhibit the bone marrow caused by neutropenia, or even aplastic anemia, such as the timely withdrawal is more recoverable and therefore should be ground check blood, no effect by 1 week, should not be reused. And double coumarin anticoagulants, sulfonamides, tolbutamide hypoglycemic drugs, increase the plasma concentration, toxicity increases. Sodium, chlorine retention effect, hypertension, edema, heart failure patients cannot use it and limit salt intake during the treatment. Patients with weak liver, osteoporosis, and kidney as well as drug allergy history are contraindicated or appropriate caution.

Phenylbutazone, one of the earliest NSAIDs
introduced, is now indicated for the symptomatic
relief of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, and
acute superficial thrombophlebitis. The gastrointestinal and bone marrow toxicity observed in its early use have been greatly
reduced by lower dosage (300 mg/d). Nevertheless, it is used primarily where other drugs have
failed and then only for short-term therapy. The
drug has a long serum half-life of about 100 h. It
is a moderately active cyclooxygenase inhibitor
and it suppresses both spontaneous and chemotactic motility of neutrophils. In addition to the
serious gastrointestinal and hematological adverse effects, sodium and water retention, rash,
vertigo, and dermatitis are observed.

Phenylbutazone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is an efficient reducing cofactor for the peroxidase activity of COX. Phenylbutazone-dependent inactivation of COX and prostacyclin synthase is markedly increased in the presence of 100 μM hydrogen peroxide with half-maximal effects at Phenylbutazone concentrations of 100 and 25 μM for COX and prostacyclin synthase, respectively.
ChEBI: Phenylbutazone is a member of the class of pyrazolidines that is 1,2-diphenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione carrying a butyl group at the 4-position. It has a role as a non-narcotic analgesic, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, an antirheumatic drug, a peripheral nervous system drug, a metabolite and an EC 1.1.1.184 [carbonyl reductase (NADPH)] inhibitor.
7.6 parts of sodium are dissolved in 190 parts by volume of absolute alcohol; 65 parts of diethyl-n-butyl malonate and 65 parts of hydrazobenzene are added. The alcohol is slowly distilled off and the reaction mixture heated for 12 hours at a bath temperature of 150°C and finally in vacuo, until no more alcohol comes off.
The product is dissolved in water, clarified with a little animal charcoal and 15% hydrochloric acid is slowly added until an acid reaction to Congo red paper is produced. 1,2-Diphenyl-3,5-dioxo-4-n-butyl-pyrazolidine separates as an oil, which rapidly become crystalline. It crystallizes from alcohol as colorless needles with a MP of 105°C.

Antiinflammatory, Antiarthritic
World Health Organization (WHO)
Phenylbutazone, a pyrazolone derivative with anti-inflammatory,
analgesic and antipyretic activity, was introduced in 1949 for the treatment of
rheumatic disorders. Its use was subsequently associated with serious and
sometimes fatal adverse reactions, notably cases of aplastic anaemia and
agranulocytosis. Many national drug regulatory authorities consider that more
recently introduced drugs offer a safer alternative for most, if not all, patients
requiring anti-inflammatory agents. Phenylbutazone has thus been either
withdrawn at the national level or retained with rigorously restricted indications for
patients unresponsive to other therapy. These restrictions also apply, in general, to
combination products containing phenylbutazone.
Odorless white or off-white crystalline powder. Tasteless at first, but slightly bitter aftertaste. pH (aqueous solution) 8.2.
Phenylbutazone is relatively stable at ambient temperatures. Aqueous decomposition of Phenylbutazone occurs by hydrolysis and oxidation. Insoluble in water.
Phenylbutazone is incompatible with strong oxidizers, strong acids and strong bases. .
Flash point data for Phenylbutazone are not available; however, Phenylbutazone is probably combustible.
Phenylbutazone is a hepatotoxin and binds to plasma proteins. It is used to treat inflammation in horse. Phenylbutazone has potential to treat ankylosing spondylitis. It has therapeutic potential to treat myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) by inducing muscle blind-like protein 1 (MBNL1) expression. It also favors the expression of muscle chloride channel in skeletal muscles.
Phenylbutazone is a
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for
the acute treatment of ankylosing spondylitis,
chronic polyarthritis, and gout. Because of
severe side effects including disturbances of
the hematopoietic system like agranulocytosis
and aplastic anemia the use is limited
to conditions in which other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory
drugs do not show sufficient efficacy.
Phenylbutazone is given as oral, rectal,
intramuscular or topical formulation (up to 600
mg/d initial dose, up to 400 mg/d maintenance
dose). The peak plasma concentration is reached
2 h after oral application. Phenylbutazone is
bound to 98% to plasma protein. Oxyphenbutazone
is formed as an active metabolite of phenylbutazone.

Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
One manufacturer lists the following as the indications for phenylbutazone:
“For the relief of inflammatory conditions associated
with the musculoskeletal system in dogs and horses.” (Package
Insert; Butazolidin—Coopers). It has been used primarily for the
treatment of lameness in horses and, occasionally, as an analgesic/
antiinflammatory, antipyretic in dogs, cattle, and swine.
Crystallise the dione from EtOH. Its pK2 3 is 4.52 (in H2O), 4.89 (in 50% aqueous EtOH) and 5.25 (80% 2-methoxyethanol). It complexes with Hg2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+. It has UV with max at 239.5nm in MeOH+50% aqueous HClO4 and 264nm in aqueous 0.1N NaOH. [Beilstein 24 III/IV 1123.]
