Pharmacological Properties of Diclofenac Sodium and Its Metabolites

Abstract: Diclofenac sodium (Voltaren") is a non-steroid anti-inflammatory agent of a new chemical structure, which in animal experiments shows a high degree of antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity in various pharmacological models. It inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis in vitro and in vivo, and this inhibitory effect at least partly explains the mechanism of action of the preparation. In animal experiments diclofenac sodium is characterised by a broad therapeutic range. Also, its gastrointestinal tole… Show more

“…Total body clearance remained unchanged Plasma diclofenac levels (ng/ml) for both groups of patients in spite of a 30% reduction in hepatic blood flow as reported previously (4,5). The present data showed wide interindividual variation for both groups when expressed as median: 3.50 CPB vs 5.03 ml min -1 kg -1 control, P = 0.13 (Table 1), or as range of variation IC95%: 2.91-4.43 ml min -1 kg -1 (CPB) and 3.32-6.03 ml min -1 kg -1 (control) (P>0.05).…”

“…During the postoperative period of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, there is a 30% reduction of hepatic blood flow accompanied by changes in the metabolism of diclofenac (4,5). The aim of the present study was to measure the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of diclofenac on the basis of plasma protein binding, during the postoperative period in surgical patients submitted or not to cardiopulmonary bypass.…”

“…Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is widely prescribed and used for relieving the pain and edema associated with inflammatory conditions, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis [1][2][3] . It is commonly known that diclofenac acts by potent cyclo-oxygenase (COX) inhibition, which decreases the formation of proinflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins (PGs) [4] .…”

“…One would therefore expect more albumin-bound compounds to be present in the fluid of an inflamed joint than of a healthy joint. In humans, certain compounds (e.g., diclofenac) are known to accumulate at the site of inflammation, where they reach concentrations similar to those observed in plasma [211]. Although the maximum concentration of diclofenac in synovial fluid is lower than in plasma, its half-life is three times greater [212].…”
