Bioactivity | Tiaprofenic acid is an orally active nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory and analgesic potency. Tiaprofenic acid inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by suppressing cyclo-oxygenase (COX). Tiaprofenic acid can be used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Female Lewis rats received either Tiaprofenic acid (as an intravenous (iv.) bolus injection of 15 mg/kg and constant infusion of 0.02 mg/min) for 6 h. Tiaprofenic acid results in a significant decrease in serum sulfate concentrations and increase in sulfate clearance ratio. There is also a significant decrease in the fraction of sulfate reabsorbed by the kidneys[2]. | ||||||||||||
