Nimesulide Drug

Pharmacokinetic: Nimesulide has a potent Anti-Inflammatory action.It behaves as a competetive inhibitor of histamine release in-vivo and in-vitro, hence posseses antihistaminic and antiallergic properties.

Indications:
Nimesulide is indicated in painful inflammatory conditions associated with musculoskeletal system, dysmenorrhoea, Thrombophlebitis, dental pain and in ENT inflammation. Absorption Well absorbed from GI tract following oral admin. Peak plasma levels:1-3 hours. With bid admin of 100 mg, steady-state is achieved within 24-36 hours.

Routes of Administration and Dosage: Oral dosage form in adults :100 mg b.i.d In children : 5 mg/kg/day in 2 or 3 divided doses.

Nimesulide Drug uses: 

• Nimesulide has less gastrointestinal adverse effects than other NSAIDs.
• It has superior benefit-risk ratio to other drugs with a comparable safety and tolerability to placebo.
• Its multifactorial mode of action gives it a unique and broad action on inflammatory.
• Nimesulide is also safe in sensitive asthmatic patients.
• It is reported to be beneficial in relieving the symptoms of rhinitis, rhinopharyngitis tubaritis and seceretory otitis media with concomitant antibiotic treatment.
• Nimesulide has potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities.

Nimesulide Dose

Nimesulide medication is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, prescribed for painful inflammatory conditions, back pain, dysmenorrhea, postoperative pain, osteoarthritis, and fever.

Dosage:

The usual dose is 100mg twice a day.

Children: 5mg/kg of body weight in 2 or 3 divided doses.

The minimum effective dose should be used for the shortest duration to reduce the undesirable effects.

The maximum duration of a treatment course with Nimesulide is 15 days.

Nimesulide 100mg Tablets/granules should be used for the shortest possible duration, as required by the clinical situation.

Nimesulide Tablet Synthesis

Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that is generally utilized as a part of the treatment of inflammatory torment which hinders the protein cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and has better gastro-intestinal mediocrity in addition to different NSAIDs in its class.

Its approved signs are the treatment of intense torment, the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and essential dysmenorrhoea, sports wounds and so on.

A variety of new Nimesulide derivatives were synthesized through incorporation of a 5-LOX pharmacophore into nimesulide followed with some structural modifications, which were then characterized for dual enzyme inhibitors for these two types of enzymes (Cyclooxygenase-½ (COX-½) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) ). Their structure-activity relationships (SARs) were studied, and compound 20f was found to be an excellent dual enzyme inhibitor.

Its binding conformation and interaction mode were studied with molecular docking experiments. Compound 20f could become a lead compound for further development for potential anti-inflammatory drugs.

Clinically it has demonstrated that it supports an especially good profile as far as gastrointestinal tolerability.
