    Turk J Med Sci ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2009; 39 (5): 713-718 © TÜBİTAK E-mail: [email protected] doi:10.3906/sag-0901-32 Aydın İNAN Etofenamate and anastomoses of the colon in rats Önder SÜRGİT Meral ŞEN Aim: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been used for many years due to their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. They have also been used for postoperative analgesia. We aimed Ayhan AKPINAR to study the effects of etofenamate, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on the healing of colonic Mikdat BOZER anastomoses in rats. Materials and methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. Resection and anastomosis were performed on the distal colon. The etofenamate group received 30 mg/kg etofenamate and the control group received 0.1 mL of 0.9% NaCl intramuscularly daily. Bursting pressures of anastomoses and hydroxyproline levels of perianastomotic tissues were determined on days 3 and 7. Results: Four deaths were observed in each group. Mean bursting pressures (etofenamate group, day 3: 50.50 ± 7.27 mmHg, day 7: 187.37 ± 12.20 mmHg; control group, day 3: 55.13 ± 5.94 mmHg, day 7: 202.12 ± 18.64 mmHg) and mean hydroxyproline levels (etofenamate group, day 3: 2.18 ± 0.17 Department of General Surgery, μg/mg tissue, day 7: 4.34 ± 0.79 μg/mg tissue; control group, day 3: 2.20 ± 0.12 μg/mg tissue, day 7: Faculty of Medicine, 5.07 ± 0.65 μg/mg tissue) in the etofenamate group were lower than those in the control group on Fatih University, both days 3 and 7.

  • Development of a Topical Anti- Inflammatory Flurbiprofen Gel
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA Faculdade de Farmácia DEVELOPMENT OF A TOPICAL ANTI- INFLAMMATORY FLURBIPROFEN GEL Dissertação elaborada para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia Farmacêutica Lisboa 2016 Joana Raquel Baptista de Brito Martins Orientadores: Professora Doutora Helena Margarida Ribeiro e Doutora Sara Raposo UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA Faculdade de Farmácia DEVELOPMENT OF A TOPICAL ANTI- INFLAMMATORY FLURBIPROFEN GEL Dissertação elaborada para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia Farmacêutica Lisboa 2016 Joana Raquel Baptista de Brito Martins Orientadores: Professora Doutora Helena Margarida Ribeiro e Doutora Sara Raposo i Abstract All over the years, anti-inflammatory therapy is being related to non-steroids anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This therapeutic class has proved promising on the market once it decreases systemic adverse effects. In Portugal, there is actually 59 anti-inflammatory drugs for topical use allowed to be commercialized (Autorização de Introdução no Mercado – AIM) by Infarmed under the dosage form of gel. The main aim of this work was a topical non-steroid anti-inflammatory hydrogel development. There is no product with topical application, on the Portuguese market, with flurbiprofen. The patent describing Froben ® manufacturing, commercialized by Abbott, was used as a model. This product describes a formulation with 5% of flurbiprofen. It was developed drug solubility studies, polymer quantity and cutaneous promoters selection. For that, a Quality by Design (QbD) approach was used. The menthol and oleic acid were used as permeation enhancers because they are associated to permeability and dermic retention increase. After that, final formulations were developed, and the skin permeation and retention studied. The results were compared with the oleogel formulation described by the patent.

  • Allergic and Photoallergic Contact Dermatitis to Topical Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: a Case Series from Turkey
    CONTACT DERMATITIS AND OCCUPATIONAL DERMATOSES ALLERGIC AND PHOTOALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS TO TOPICAL NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS: A CASE SERIES FROM TURKEY E Ozkaya (1) - A Kutlay (1) Istanbul University Istanbul Medical Faculty, Dermatology, Istanbul, Turkey (1) Background: Topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used, mainly for soft tissue pain and injury. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and photoallergic contact dermatitis (PACD) from topical NSAIDs have been reported with an increasing incidence. Ketoprofen seems to be the major culprit drug, followed by etofenamate and bufexamac in many European countries. There are only limited data on this subject in Turkey. Observation: Out of 2375 consecutively patch tested patients in our clinic between 1996 and 2017, 13 patients (7 male, 6 female, age range: 21-81, median: 56 years) (0.5%) were diagnosed with topical NSAID-induced ACD/PACD. Patients were patch tested (n=13) and photopatch tested (n=4) with the suspected topical preparations as is, and with the active (n=4) and inactive ingredients, when available, in addition to the European baseline series. Etofenamate (tested in a dilution series of 1%-5%-10% in petrolatum and aqua) was the leading culprit drug in 8 patients (62%), followed by ketoprofen (n=2), diclofenac (n=2), and diethylamine salicylate & naproxen (n=1). The main diagnosis was ACD whereas PACD was diagnosed in 2 patients from etofenamate and ketoprofen. Concomitant positive reaction were observed with inactive ingredients such as benzyl alcohol in etofenamate, and neroli oil in ketoprofen preparations, respectively. Cross-reaction to fragrances (fragrance mix I, balsam of Peru, cinnamic alcohol/aldehyde) was present in both patients with ketoprofen allergy.

  • Preemptive Use of Etofenamate in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study
    Original Article Preemptive Use of Etofenamate in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study. Meral Şen1, Aydın İnan1, Hüseyin Sert2, Ayhan Akpınar1, Cenap Dener1 Fatih University, Medical School, ABSTRACT Departments of General Surgery1 and Anesthesiology2, Ankara, Turkey Aim: To investigate the preemptive effect of etofenomate on postoperative pain and emesis in the first 24 hours after elective Eur J Gen Med 2010;7(1): 50-55 laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Method: Patients were randomly assigned to two groups each consisting of 60 patients. Group A was received 1g (2 ml) etofenomate intramuscularly, group B was received 0.9% saline intramuscularly one hour before surgery. All patients were administered meperidine HCl in the patient –controlled analgesia (PCA) intravenous mode in order to treat postoperative pain. Pain intensity was assessed on visual analog scales (VAS) at four times; 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours. The total meperidine HCl consumptions, VAS scores and antiemetic requirements were recorded and comparisons among the two groups were evaluated. Result: The mean total meperidine HCl consumptions within first 6 and 24 hours of the group A were significantly less than the group B. The VAS scores at 1 and 6 hours in the group A were significantly lower than that in the group B. There was no significant difference in the postoperative antiemetic requirement among two groups. Conclusion: Preemptive use of etofenamate reduces pain intensity and meperidine HCl requirement, but it doesn’t

Both countries have been acknowledged as being as advanced or even more so than the United Kingdom (UK) in availability of medicines without prescription, despite not making some of the recent innovative UK switches. OBJECTIVE: To derive a measure of progressiveness in switch; to compare the progressiveness of switch between NZ and Australia; and to compare NZ and Australia switch activity with the UK. METHODS: Records of medicines classification meetings in Australia and NZ from 2000 to 2011 were analysed with respect to all switch considerations (whether approved or not approved). Switches in Australia and NZ were compared with those in the UK. A new measure, ‘innovative switches’, was developed to provide a useful measure of switch progress. RESULTS: Australia demonstrated ‘switch innovation’ in the early 2000s, including the ‘first-in-world’ switch of orlistat, but has slowed down since.

  • 1 Adverse Reaction of Topical Etofenamate
    Adverse Reaction of Topical Etofenamate: Petechial Eruption Z Orbak1, ZK Yildirim2, O Sepetci3 , C Karakelleoglu3, H Alp3 ABSTRACT Etofenamate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Clinical findings caused by etofenamate are uncommon. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most common cutaneous reaction reported. But petechial eruption due to etofenamate had not been reported yet. This report concerns an 11-year old male with petechial eruption after application of topical etofenamate. Physicians need to be aware that patients can develop an asymptomatic purpuric eruption when etofenamate is ordered. Keywords: Adverse reaction, etofenamate, petechial eruption ___________________________________________________________________________ From: 1Department of Paediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2Department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology and 3Department of General Paediatrics, Atatürk University, Faculty of Medicine, Erzurum, Turkey.

E-mail: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Etofenamate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It has analgesic, antirheumatic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a non-selective COX (cyclo-oxygenase) inhibitor. Cyclo-oxygenase is an enzyme and is responsible for production of numerous chemicals, including prostaglandins in the body. Etofenamate inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, and provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. After etofenamate, formulated in gel, is applied directly to inflamed tissue, it quickly penetrates through the corneal layer of the skin area of application and reaches therapeutically effective concentrations in the subcutis, fascias, ligaments and muscles. However, there are less systemic side effects of topical etofenamate (1, 2). Clinical adverse findings caused by etofenamate are uncommon. There have been infrequent reports on the incidence of side effects of etofenamate.

Anti-inflammatory drugs can interfere in the pathophysiological process of inflammation, to minimize tissue damage and provide greater comfort to the patient. Therefore, it is important to note that due to the existence of a large number of species available for research, the successful development of new naturally occurring anti-inflammatory drugs depends mainly on a multidisciplinary effort to find new molecules.

Mamede do Coronado, Portugal Abstract Objective: To compare the efficacy and adverse effects of intramuscular etofena- mate and intramuscular diclofenac in the relief of acute renal colic. Patients and methods: A multicentre, randomised, single-blind study was per- formed in 119 patients admitted to the emergency room for renal colic. Patients were assigned to treatment with either etofenamate 1000mg or diclofenac 75mg, both administered intramuscularly. Pain was self-assessed using a 4-point verbal rating scale (VRS) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) just before drug administra- tion and 30, 60, 120 and 240 min later. Results: The two groups were similar with regard to baseline characteristics. The percentages of patients who reported an improvement in the VRS at 60 min post-administration (primary variable) were 84.5% with etofenamate and 83.3% with diclofenac (p = 0.73).

  • Analgesic Effect of Hldome~¢In, Eto|Enamate and of Ibupro|En Applied Locally in Animals and Man
    by didofenac 100 ~g with a mean value of 16,1 + 1,7 mm Hg (58~o; response inhibited versus control) and the tachycardia was inhibited with a mean value of 39,4 + 0,4 bpm (70~; response versus control). This response was reversed by naloxone pretreatment. Mieroinjections of diclofenac (1 ng-l,0 pg/0,5 pl) in the periaqueductal gray matter (PA(3), hypothalamus and in the preoptic area in rats dose-dependently inhibited the number of writhings. The antinociceptive effect of the dn~£ was inhibited by naloxone, 1 mg/kg, injected s.c. 5 minutes prior to the local injection or 30 minutes after the experiment in a dosage of 50/~g/'0,5/~1 locally. Conclusion: Diclofenac exerts a central, naloxone-reversible antinociceptive action in experimental animals after noxious visceral stimuli but not after somatosensory stimuli. This action is exerted from several different areas within the central nervous system, intimately involved in pein control. i P.w¢.327 ] Analgesic effect of hldome~¢in, eto|enamate and of ibupro|en applied locally in animals and man Jezdinsk~/ *, J., Ondra * *, P., Bret~najdrovfi * * *, M. and Zfiboj * * *, Z. • Dept. of PhatmacologF, * * Dept. of Met£ Chemistry, Medical Faculty of Palacl~ University, Allenda 3, Olomouc and * * * Dept. of Geriatrics, University Hospital, Olomouc, Czechoslovakia Analgesic efficacy of indometacin and of ibuprofen in the form of gel was evaluated in rats with the yeast-induced inflammation of one hind paw by two methods: a) by objective measuring of the duration of the paw-lifting behavior time (H~lek and Jezdinsk~, 1977; Jezdinsk~, 1982) as a manifestation of spontaneous nociceptive reaction; b) by &~,sing the degree of inflammatory hyperalgesia according to Randall-Selitto's method.
