General description
Meclofenamic acid consists of two aryl moieties that are twisted in perpendicular orientation, it includes N-2,6-dichloro-3-methylphenyl group and N-2-benzoic acid group. Because of the low aqueous solubility of the compound, it is commercially available as sodium salt.
Application
Meclofenamic acid sodium salt has been used:
- in the inhibition of heat-induced denaturation of albumin
- as a pharmacological agent in the preparation of superfusion solution for electrophysiology studies
- to block the gap junctions
Biochem/physiol Actions
Meclofenamic acid (MFA) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drug. It inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway and finds its application in the treatment of postoperative and traumatic inflammation and swelling. MFA functions in opening the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2/member 3 (KCNQ2/Q3).
Cyclooxygenase (IC50 = 0.6 μM) and 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 = 46.3 μM) inhibitor.
