Emerging Drug List PARECOXIB SODIUM
Emerging Drug List PARECOXIB SODIUM NO. 10 MAY 2001 Generic (Trade Name): Parecoxib sodium Manufacturer: Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc. Indication: For peri-operative pain relief Current Regulatory Parecoxib is currently under review at Health Canada and the Food and Drug Status: Administration in the U.S. They are expecting approval in the fourth quarter of 2001. It is not marketed in any country at this time Description: Parecoxib is the first parenteral cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor to be developed. It is a water-soluble prodrug that is rapidly hydrolyzed to valdecoxib (the active COX-2 inhibitor). Valdecoxib's affinity for COX-2 versus COX-1 is 90 times greater than celecoxib and 34,000 times greater than ketorolac. Once injected, peak concentrations of valdecoxib are attained in 10 to 20 minutes. Valdecoxib has a half-life of eight to 10 hours. Current Treatment: Currently, the only other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent that is available as an injection is ketorolac. Ketorolac is used in some centres for peri-operative pain management, however opioids are the main class of agents used for this indication. Ketorolac has been associated with a relatively high incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, including severe cases of hemorrhage. Cost: There is no information available on the cost of parecoxib. Evidence: Parecoxib has been compared to ketorolac and morphine in clinical trials. Parecoxib at a dose of 20 and 40 mg/day IV, were compared to ketorolac, 30 mg/day IV and morphine, 4 mg/day or placebo in 202 women undergoing hysterectomy. Both doses of parecoxib were comparable to ketorolac for relieving postoperative pain. -
Development and Validation of an Ultra Performance Liquid
DOI: 10.4274/tjps.76588 Turk J Pharm Sci 2017;14(1):1-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Development and Validation of an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Method for the Determination of Dexketoprofen Trometamol, Salicylic Acid and Diclofenac Sodium Deksketoprofen Trometamol, Salisilik Asit ve Diklofenak Sodyum Etkin Maddeleri için Ultra Performanslı Sıvı Kromatografisi Yönteminin Geliştirilmesi ve Validasyonu Sibel İLBASMIŞ TAMER Gazi University, Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT Objectives: A simple, fast, accurate and precise method has been developed for the determination of dexketoprofen trometamol (DKP), salicylic acid (SA) and diclofenac sodium (DIC) in the drug solutions using ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Materials and Methods: UPLC method is highly reliable and sensitive method to quantify the amount of the active ingredient and the method is validated according to ICH guidelines. Results: The developed method is found to be precise, accurate, specific and selective. The method was also found to be linear and reproducible. The value of limit of dedection (LOD) of DKP, SA, DIC were found 0.00325 µg/mL, 0.0027 µg/mL and 0.0304 µg/mL, respectively. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) of DKP, SA and DIC were found 0.00985 µg/mL, 0.0081 µg/mL and 0.0920 µg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: Proposed methods can be successfully applicable to the pharmaceutical preparation containing the above mentioned drugs (dexketoprofen trometamol, salicylic acid and diclofenac sodium). Even very small amounts of active substance can be analyzed and validations can be performed easily. Key words: Dexketoprofen trometamol, salicylic acid, diclofenac sodium, UPLC, validation ÖZ Amaç: Deksketoprofen trometamol (DKP), salisilik asit (SA) ve diklofenak sodyumun (DIC) ilaç çözeltisindeki analizi için ultra yüksek basınçlı sıvı kromatografisi (UPLC) kullanılarak basit, hızlı, doğru ve kesin bir yöntem geliştirilmiştir. -

Safety of Etoricoxib in Patients with Reactions to Nsaids
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Safety of Etoricoxib in Patients With Reactions to NSAIDs O Quercia, F Emiliani, FG Foschi, GF Stefanini Allergology High Specialty Unit, General Medicine, Faenza Hospital, AUSL Ravenna, Italy ■ Abstract Background: Adverse reactions to nonsteroidal anti-infl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a frequently reported problem due to the fact that these molecules are often used for control of pain and infl ammation. Although the use of selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX) 2 helps to prevent some of these adverse reactions, they can have cardiac side effects when taken for prolonged periods. Here we report the safety and tolerability of etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor with fewer cardiovascular effects, in patients with adverse reactions to NSAIDs. Patients and methods: We performed placebo-controlled oral challenge with etoricoxib in 65 patients with previous adverse reactions to NSAIDs: 13 to salicylates, 18 to arylpropionic acids, 10 to arylacetic acid, 12 to oxicam and derivates, 8 to pyrazolones, and 4 to acetaminophen (paracetamol). The reported symptoms were urticaria or angioedema in 69%, rhinitis in 3%, and 1 case of anaphylactic shock (1.5%). The challenge was done using the placebo on the fi rst day, half dosage of etoricoxib (45 mg) on the second day, and the therapeutic dose of 90 mg on the third day. The challenge was done in the outpatient department of the hospital and the subjects were monitored for a further 4 to 6 hours after challenge. Results: Oral challenge with etoricoxib was well tolerated in 97% of the patients. Only 2 systemic reactions were reported during the challenge test. -
