nabumetone and Inflammation

nabumetone has been researched along with Inflammation in 5 studies

Nabumetone: A butanone non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibitor that is used in the management of pain associated with OSTEOARTHRITIS and RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
nabumetone : A methyl ketone that is 2-butanone in which one of the methyl hydrogens at position 4 is replaced by a 6-methoxy-2-naphthyl group. A prodrug that is converted to the active metabolite, 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid, following oral administration. It is shown to have a slightly lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects than most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Inflammation: A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Nabumetone is an effective anti-inflammatory drug in models of inflammation and in man, comparable in potency to other compounds of this type."4.78The science--equivalent efficacy and diminished risk. ( Blower, P, 1991)
"6MNA, the active metabolite of the nonacidic antiinflammatory drug nabumetone, was investigated using intravenous administration for effects on (1) carrageenan paw edema and gastric irritancy compared with either oral nabumetone or both oral and intravenous indomethacin when given acutely and (2) gastrointestinal irritancy when given in repeat dosing studies."3.68Antiinflammatory and gastrointestinal effects of nabumetone or its active metabolite, 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid (6MNA). Comparative studies with indomethacin. ( Blower, PR; Gentry, C; Kelvin, AS; Melarange, R; Neil, C; O'Connell, C; Toseland, CD, 1992)
"6MNA, the active metabolite of the non-acidic anti-inflammatory drug nabumetone, was investigated using intravenous administration for effects on (a) carrageenan paw oedema and gastric irritancy compared to either oral nabumetone or both oral and intravenous indomethacin when given acutely and (b) gastrointestinal irritancy when given in repeat dosing studies."1.28Anti-inflammatory and gastrointestinal effects of nabumetone or its active metabolite, 6MNA (6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid): comparison with indomethacin. ( Blower, PR; Gentry, C; Kelvin, AS; Melarange, R; Neil, C; O'Connell, C; Toseland, CD, 1992)
"Nabumetone itself was found only in very low concentrations at the inflamed site and was not found in plasma."1.27Penetration of nabumetone into inflammatory exudates in the rat. ( Haddock, RE; Jeffery, DJ; Mangan, FR; Pardon, IS, 1983)
