- Stability of diclofenac sodium in the inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin in the solid state
-
The aim of this study was to characterize the thermal stability of diclofenac sodium both alone and in the inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin in the solid state, by determination of the number of the products of its decomposition, which were identified by GC-MS. The molar ratio of diclofenac sodium in the inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin was 1:1. The decomposition of diclofenac sodium both alone and in inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin occurred according to the first-order reaction. The HPLC of the samples thermostated at 80°C gave five products of decomposition, which were identified by GC-MS. Diclofenac sodium in the inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin was more thermally stable. Thermal decomposition of diclofenac sodium leads to formation of five products, of which 4-chloro-10H-9-acridinone had not been reported previously in the literature.

- Synthesis and quantitative structure-activity relationships of diclofenac analogues
-
The synthesis of a series of 2-anilinophenylacetic acid, close analogues of diclofenac, is described. These compounds were tested in two models used for evaluating the activity of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID's), inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzyme activity in vitro, and adjuvant-induced arthritis (AdA) in rats. Statistically significant correlations were found between the inhibitory activities of the compounds in these two models, indicating that cyclooxygenase inhibition seems to be the underlying mechanism for the antiinflammatory activity of these compounds. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis revealed that the crucial parameters for activity in both models were the lipophilicity and the angle of twist between the two phenyl rings. Optimal activities were associated with halogen or alkyl substituents in both ortho positions of the anilino ring. Compounds with OH groups in addition to two ortho substituents or compounds with only one or no ortho substituents were less active.
