Flurbiprofen-d₄  (Synonyms: dl-Flurbiprofen-d₄)

Flurbiprofen-d₄ is deuterated labeled Flurbiprofen (HY-10582). Flurbiprofen (dl-Flurbiprofen) is a potent, orally active nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIA/NSAID), with antipyretic and analgesic activities. Flurbiprofen is commonly used for the research of inflammatory diseases, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Flurbiprofen is a non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor that can be used for the research of colorectal cancer^[1][2][3].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
Flurbiprofen (2-20 nM; 12-48 hours) significantly decreases SW620 cells proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner^[2].
Flurbiprofen (10 nM; 24 hours) decreases COX-2 expression^[2].
Flurbiprofen (10 nM; 24 hours) inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors by inhibiting COX-2^[2].
Flurbiprofen (10 nM; 24 hours) promotes the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting COX-2^[2].

Flurbiprofen (0.3-4.8 mg/kg; p.o.; 4-5 dosages) has acute anti-inflammatory in adrenalectomized rats^[3].
Flurbiprofen (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 6 days) attenuates high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice^[4].
