Structure:
DrugBank Description: Tenoxicam, an antiinflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties, is used to treat osteoarthritis and control acute pain.
CAS Number: 59804-37-4
Molecular Weight: 337.37
DrugBank Indication: For the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, backache, and pain.
DrugBank Pharmacology: Tenoxicam, an antiinflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties, is used to treat osteoarthritis and control acute pain.
DrugBank MoA: The antiinflammatory effects of tenoxicam may result from the inhibition of the enzyme cycooxygenase and the subsequent peripheral inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. As prostaglandins sensitize pain receptors, their inhibition accounts for the peripheral analgesic effects of tenoxicam. Antipyresis may occur by central action on the hypothalamus, resulting in peripheral dilation, increased cutaneous blood flow, and subsequent heat loss.
Targets: Prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 inhibitor; Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 inhibitor
Inclusion Criteria: Therapeutic strategy associated
