Application

Tenoxicam has been used:
  • as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) to study its effects on root gravitropism in Arabidopsis thaliana
  • as a standard in microanalysis of NSAIDs by spectrophotometry
  • to test its effect on surface potential andmembrane fluidity modification in phosphoglyceride monolayers

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tenoxicam (TX) possesses antipyretic and analgesic effects. It elicits radical scavenging activity and has the potential to treat enkylosing spondylitis, extra-articular diseases, acute gout, and rheumatic diseases. It is also effective in treating primary dysmenorrhea, postpartum uterine contraction pain, and post-operation backaches. TX is capable of inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) with comparatively low risk of renal or hepatic toxicity.

Meloxicam, piroxicam, and tenoxicam belong to a highly potent oxicam group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Whereas the structurally similar oxicams have different pharmacokinetics, treatment efficiency, and adverse effects, their common mechanism of action is the inhibition of a membrane enzyme

Tenoxicam is a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent of the oxicam class, and therefore closely related to piroxicam. It possesses a long half-life which enables it to be administered once daily. Clinical trials in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis

Tenoxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the oxicam group. It is completely absorbed by the oral route and is about 99% protein bound in human plasma. Intake of food delays absorption without affecting bioavailability. There is no evidence
