Biological Activity of Flunixin Meglumin

DescriptionFlunixin Meglumine is a potent inhibitor of COX used as analgesic agent with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity. Target: COX Flunixin meglumine is a potent, non-narcotic, non-steroidal analgesic agent with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity. It is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Flunixin meglumine therapy significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) reduced rectal temperatures and quarter signs of inflammation and improved clinically graded depression when compared with these signs in saline solution-treated controls [1]. Flunixin meglumine was selective inhibitor of COX-1. Carprofen inhibited LPS-induction of iNOS. Carprofen and, to a lesser degree, flunixin meglumine had inhibitory effects on NFκB activation [2].

Background on Flunixin Meglumin

IC50: A potent cyclooxygenase inhibitor with IC50 values of 1 nM.

Flunixin meglumine serves as a non-narcotic and non-steroidal analgesic agent with antipyretic activities. As a potent inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase, Flunixin meglumine has demonstrated a wide-spectrum of biological activities including anti-inflammation and pain-alleviating. Moreover, Flunixin meglumine could be applied as a drug in animals for the management of intestinal ischaemia, colic, and endotoxemia. [1]

In vitro: An in vitro whole blood model in feedlot calves was adopted to detect the activity of the anti-inflammatory agents Flunixin-meglumine (FLU), RS (±) Carprofen (CPF) and S (+) CPF. The drugs all exhibited inhibitory activity on COXs, with an order of FLU > S (+) CPF > RS (±) CPF in their potency. This finding indicated that FLU was a nonselective suppressorr of bovine COXs, whereas RS (±) CPF and S (+) CPF selectively inhibited COX-2 isoenzyme. [2]

In vivo: Findings from mice, rats and monkeys suggested Flunixin meglumine as a potent non-narcotic analgesic agent after parenteral administration. After being subcutaneous administered, this agent showed higher efficacy than pentazocine, meperidine and codeine in the rat yeast paw test. Intramuscular administration and subcutaneous administration of Flunixin meglumine had similar effects. Moreover, orally administered Flunixin meglumine also exerted analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Based on mice abdominal constriction test, flunixin meglumine had comparable efficacy to pentazocine and was more potent than meperidine and codeine. In primates, 10 mg/kg flunixin meglumine showed an equal efficacy to that of 0.3 mg/kg morphine. [1]

Clinical trials: Flunixin meglumine, in a dosage of 1.0 mg/kg bwt, was studied in a blind Multi-Centre clinical trial in 152 horses with abdominal pain. Significant differences were noted in kicking, pawing, head and body movement and attitude between the horses receiving flunixin meglumine and control. Moreover, compared with detomidin, Flunixin meglumine provided significantly less analgesia. [3]

Possible active transport mechanism in pharmacokinetics of flunixin-meglumin in rabbits.[Pubmed:11558544]

J Vet Med Sci. 2001 Aug;63(8):885-8.

The plasma and urine kinetics of flunixin-meglumin (FNX, 2 mg/kg, i.v.) in rabbits were examined. Unusual pharmacokinetic profiles were obtained, including high binding percentage with plasma protein (> 99%), a short elimination half-life (< 4 hr) and a relatively large Vd-area (0.5 L/kg). These profiles indicate that some active transport mechanisms are involved in FNX disposition. The recovery of FNX from urine was approximately 9 % of the dose within 24 hr following the injection. The estimated renal clearance of the unbound drug nearly corresponded to the renal blood flow rates, indicating that active tubular secretion in the renal re-absorptive tract may be involved in the disposition. The effect of a concomitant administration of pravastatin (PV) on FNX disposition was also examined. PV is a representative substrate of a transporter in human liver cells (OATP-2). After the PV administrations, the Vd-area of FNX and total body clearance markedly decreased, indicating that FNX is actively taken up and metabolized in liver cells by an OATP-2 like transporter. In conclusion, there are at least 2 active transport pathways for FNX pharmacokinetics in rabbits, one is renal tubular secretion and the other is in the sinusoidal section of the liver.

Hepatic effects of flunixin-meglumin in LPS-induced sepsis.[Pubmed:20030736]

Fundam Clin Pharmacol. 2010 Dec;24(6):759-69.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the actions of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug flunixin-meglumin (FM) on the changes caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis in the rat liver. Eight groups of five adult male Wistar rats were analysed: (1) saline injected (controls), (2) FM treated with 1.1 mg/kg, (3) FM treated with 2.2 mg/kg, (4) LPS-injected (10 mg/kg), (5) LPS-injected with 1.1 mg/kg FM pretreatment, (6) LPS-injected with 2.2 mg/kg FM pretreatment, (7) LPS-injected with 1.1 mg/kg FM post-treatment and (8) LPS-injected with 2.2 mg/kg FM post-treatment. All drugs were intraperitoneally injected. The following parameters were evaluated: plasma levels of hepatic enzymes and urea, hepatic histological characteristics, antioxidant enzymes and several metabolic fluxes. The latter comprised gluconeogenesis, ureagenesis and oxygen consumption. Liver damage in LPS-induced sepsis was characterized by histological changes, increased plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (P < 0.001) and diminished gluconeogenesis (P < 0.001) and ureagenesis (P < 0.01). LPS also induced oxidative stress as evidenced by increased catalase (P < 0.05) and superoxide dismutase activities and enhanced lipid peroxidation (P < 0.001). Pretreatment of the animals with FM minimized the histological changes and normalized, in part, all enzymatic activities. Pretreatment of the animals with FM also normalized gluconeogenesis and partly restored ureagenesis (P < 0.05). These and other results show that LPS-induced sepsis may lead to severe liver damage, affecting both structure and function. Treatment with FM can be used to avoid this damage. The antioxidant properties of FM can be, partly at least, responsible for this protective action.
