Biochem/physiol Actions

Tarenflurbil (or R-flurbiprofen) is an R enantiomer of racemic NSAID flurbiprofen that does not inhibit either cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) or cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). Tarenflurbil potently reduces levels of beta amyloid in human cells through direct inhibition of γ-secretase.

Epidemiologic studies demonstrate that long-term use of NSAIDs is associated with a reduced risk for the development of Alzheimer disease (AD). In this study, 20 commonly used NSAIDs, dapsone, and enantiomers of flurbiprofen were analyzed for their ability to lower

Journal of neurochemistry, 83(4), 1009-1012 (2002-11-08)
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been associated with reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and selected NSAIDs racemates suppress beta-amyloid (Abeta) accumulation in vivo and Abeta42 production in vitro. Clinical use of NSAIDs for preventing or treating AD has been

R-flurbiprofen (R-FP) was found to offer neuroprotective effects by inhibiting mitochondrial calcium overload induced by β-amyloid peptide toxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, poor brain penetration after oral administration posed a challenge to its further development for AD treatment. In
