Popis

General description

Meclofenamic acid consists of two aryl moieties that are twisted in perpendicular orientation, it includes N-2,6-dichloro-3-methylphenyl group and N-2-benzoic acid group. Because of the low aqueous solubility of the compound, it is commercially available as sodium salt.

Application

Meclofenamic acid sodium salt has been used:

• in the inhibition of heat-induced denaturation of albumin
• as a pharmacological agent in the preparation of superfusion solution for electrophysiology studies
• to block the gap junctions

Biochem/physiol Actions

Meclofenamic acid (MFA) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drug. It inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway and finds its application in the treatment of postoperative and traumatic inflammation and swelling. MFA functions in opening the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2/member 3 (KCNQ2/Q3).

Cyclooxygenase (IC₅₀ = 0.6 μM) and 5-lipoxygenase (IC₅₀ = 46.3 μM) inhibitor.
