Artrosilene uses


Pharmacological action

Artrosilene is a NSAID, propionic acid derivative. This medication has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of COX activity - the main enzyme metabolism of arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever. A pronounced analgesic effect of Artrosilene is due to two mechanisms: peripheral and central (due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as the influence on the biological activity of other neurotrophic substances that play a key role in the release of neurotransmitters in the spinal pain brain). In addition, this drug has anti-bradykinin activity, stabilizes lysosomal membranes, causes a significant inhibition of neutrophils in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral and rectal administration Artrosilene is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax in plasma by ingestion is achieved through 1-5 hours (depending on dosage form), with rectal administration - after 45-60 min; IM administration - after 20-30 min; IV injections - after 5 minutes.

The plasma protein binding is 99%. Due to the lipophilicity expressed rapidly penetrates the BBB. Css in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid stored between 2 and 18 h.

Artrosilene well penetrates into synovial fluid, where its concentration is 4 hours after admission exceeds that in plasma.

This medicine is metabolized by binding to glucuronic acid and to a lesser extent by hydroxylation.

Artrosilene is excreted primarily by kidneys and to a lesser extent through the intestines. T1/2 of Artrosilene from plasma after oral administration is 1.5-2 h; after rectal administration - about 2 hours; IM administration - 1.27 hours, IV injections - 2 hours.
