10.2 NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS (NSAIDS)
NSAIDs are a class of medications used to reduce pain, reduce inflammation and bring down
a high temperature. These drugs used to relieve symptoms of headaches, painful periods, sprains
and strains, colds and flu, arthritis and other causes of long-term pain. Some analgesics can be
bought over the counter, others require a prescription.
Over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs include: Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and Naproxen sodium.
Prescription NSAIDs include: Oxaprozin (Daypro), Etodolac (Lodine), Indomethacin
(Indocin), Naproxen (Naprosyn), Nabumetone (Relafen), Diclofenac (Cataflam) and,
Aproxen/Esomeprazole (Vimovo).
NSAIDs drugs act by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 or COX-2).
In cells, these enzymes are involved in the synthesis of key biological mediators, namely
prostaglandins, which are involved in inflammation, and thromboxanes, which are involved in
blood clotting.
Classification of NSAIDs
NSAIDs can be classified based on their chemical structure or mechanism of action:
1. Salicylates: Aspirin, Sodium salicylate and Diflunisal.
2. Propionic acid derivatives: Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen and Naproxen.
3. Aryl acetic acid derivatives: Diclofenac and Ketorolac.
4. Indole derivatives: Indomethacin and Sulindac.
5. Alkanones: Nabumetone.
6. Oxicams: Piroxicam and Tenoxicam.
7. Anthranilic acid derivatives (fenamates): Mefenamic acid and flufenamic acid.
8. Pyrazolone derivatives: Phenylbutazone, Oxyphenbutazone, Azapropazone (apazone)
and Dipyrone (novalgine).
9. Aniline derivatives (analgesic only): Paracetamol.

10.2.3 Ibuprofen
Brand Names: Advil, Genpril, IBU, Midol IB, Motrin IB, Proprinal, Smart Sense Children’s
Ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is a monocarboxylic acid,
i.e., propionic acid in which one of the hydrogens at position 2 is substituted by a 4-(2-
methylpropyl) phenyl group. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins by
decreasing the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).
IUPAC Name: 2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]propanoic acid

266 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Properties: It occurs as white or almost white powder or crystals having characteristic odor.
Ibuprofen is practically insoluble in water, but very soluble in most organic solvents like ethanol,
methanol, acetone and dichloromethane.
Uses: Ibuprofen is an NSAID, and like other drugs of its class, it possesses analgesic, antipyretic,
and anti-inflammatory properties.
➢ It is used in the treatment of pain, fever, and inflammation.
➢ It is used in painful menstrual periods.
➢ It is used in the treatment of migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis.
➢ It is used in the treatment of severe orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when
standing up).
Dosage Forms: Oral capsule (200 mg); oral suspension (100 mg/5 mL and 50 mg/1.25 mL); oral
tablet (100 mg; 200 mg; 400 mg; 600 mg and 800 mg); oral tablet, chewable (100 mg and 50 mg).
Storage and Stability: It should be kept in well closed container. Store undiluted ibuprofen
(5 mg/mL) in glass vials and diluted ibuprofen to 2.5 mg/mL with either NS or D5W and stored
in polypropylene syringes. It will retain more than 92% of its initial concentration with storage for
up to 14 days at 4°C.

10.2.4 Piroxicam
Brand Name: Feldene
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is a monocarboxylic acid
amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-
1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid 1,1-dioxide with the exocyclic nitrogen of 2-aminopyridine.
It exists as alkenol tautomer in organic solvents and as zwitterionic form in water. It has the
following chemical structure:
IUPAC Name: 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,1-dioxo-N-pyridin-2-yl-1λ
6
,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide
Properties: Piroxicam occurs as a white crystalline solid. It is sparingly soluble in water, dilute
acid and most organic solvents; and slightly soluble in alcohol and in aqueous solutions.
