Description

Flunixin meglumine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used in veterinary medicine. It is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the reaction of a substituted aniline with a substituted benzoic acid. Flunixin exhibits potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. It is widely used to treat pain and inflammation in animals, particularly in horses, cattle, and pigs. Its effectiveness in managing musculoskeletal pain, colic, and respiratory problems has contributed to its significance in veterinary practice. Research into flunixin focuses on understanding its pharmacokinetic properties, optimizing its therapeutic efficacy, and exploring potential adverse effects. The drug's ability to effectively manage pain and inflammation in animals, alongside its relatively safe profile, has solidified its status as a critical medication in veterinary medicine.'

flunixin : A pyridinemonocarboxylic acid that is nicotinic acid substituted at position 2 by a 2-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylamino group. A relatively potent non-narcotic, nonsteroidal analgesic with anti-inflammatory, anti-endotoxic and anti-pyretic properties; used in veterinary medicine (usually as the meglumine salt) for treatment of horses, cattle and pigs.

Treatment

Flinixin treatment (F1, TF1, F2 and TF2) suppressed PG-metabolite levels significantly (p=0.006) during the period of treatment in both experiments. Treatment increases lung tyrosine (TYR) levels, an effect which is not altered by AFB1 pretreatment.

Toxicity

The gastrointestinal, hepatic and renal lesions observed in the donkeys treated with NSAID demonstrated the toxic potential of NSAID. The effects were greatest for animals treated with phenylbutazone, less for flunixin, and least for ketoprofen.

The objectives of the study were to compare various methods to determine flunixin in test samples collected periodically from horses after intramuscular (IM) and intravenous (IV) dosing at the maximum recommended dosage. Data were pooled from published PK studies in which flunxin was administered through various dosage regimens to diverse populations of cattle.

Roles (4)

RoleDescription
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugAn anti-inflammatory drug that is not a steroid. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins.
antipyreticA drug that prevents or reduces fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state. An antipyretic will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever.
non-narcotic analgesicA drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitorA compound or agent that combines with cyclooxygenases (EC 1.14.99.1) and thereby prevents its substrate-enzyme combination with arachidonic acid and the formation of icosanoids, prostaglandins, and thromboxanes.
