| DrugBank Description: | Talniflumate, is an anti-inflammatory molecule studied and used as a mucin regulator in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma . In addition, it is used in inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Phase I trials with talniflumate for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and COPD were completed in August 2001, and phase II trials were performed in Ireland for the treatment of cystic fibrosis but this research has now been discontinued . Talniflumate has been approved for approximately 20 years in Argentina other countries (excluding the United States, Europe, and Japan) . |
| CAS Number: | 66898-62-2 |
| Molecular Weight: | 414.34 |
| DrugBank Indication: | Talnifumate is a phthalidyl ester of nifumic acid, which has potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects and is widely used to treat inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis , and has also been studied for the management of cystic fibrosis . |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Talniflumate is metabolized to its prodrug, niflumic acid, which has several pharmacodynamic effects. Firstly, it blocks synthesis of mucin. Secondly, talniflumate blocks prostaglandin synthesis by cyclooxygenases, which aids in pain and inflammation management. |
| DrugBank MoA: | Talniflumate is a strong and selective inhibitor of core mucin-synthesizing enzyme GCNT3 (core 2 b-1,6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase). Talniflumate decreases gene expression of GCNT3 and production of mucins in vivo and in vitro. Talniflumate improves response of pancreatic tumors to gefitinib (chemotherapy drug). Talniflumate is a strong calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) blocker. |
| Targets: | Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 antagonist; Prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 antagonist; Chloride channel protein ClC-Ka antagonist |
| Inclusion Criteria: | Indication associated |
