Abstract |
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. |
Chemical Property |
It is soluble in acetone, chloroform or benzene freely; soluble in ethanol or ether; hardly soluble in water; soluble in sodium hydroxide solution. |
Mechanism of action |
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. |
Pharmacokinetic Study |
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. |
Attention and Taboo |
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. |
Preparation |
Cyclization reaction of hydrogenated azobenzene and diethylmalonic acid diethyl: hydrazobenzene, butyl diethyl malonate, sodium sulfite and methanol are heated with severe reflux 1.5h, born in Bute salt, acidified with acetic acid to give Bute. |
