Usage

Description

Flunoxaprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug that is structurally related to the now withdrawn benoxaprofen. It is a potent inhibitor of lipoxygenase, an enzyme involved in the production of inflammatory mediators. This action allows Flunoxaprofen to control inflammation with fewer gastric disturbances compared to other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It has been found to be effective in the treatment of various inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, synovitis, and osteoarthritis.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Flunoxaprofen is used as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, synovitis, and osteoarthritis. Its lipoxygenase inhibition mechanism allows for effective control of inflammation with reduced risk of gastric disturbances compared to other NSAIDs.
Used in Inflammatory Conditions Treatment:
Flunoxaprofen is used as a therapeutic agent for managing inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, synovitis, and osteoarthritis. Its ability to inhibit lipoxygenase helps in reducing inflammation and providing relief from pain and swelling associated with these conditions.
