Tepoxalin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tepoxalin is an orally active dual inhibitor of Cyclooxygenase/Lipoxygenase, with IC50 values of 4.6 μM (sheep cyclooxygenase), 2.85 μM (rat cyclooxygenase), 0.15 μM (rat 5-lipoxygenase), and 3.0 μM (h12-lipoxygenase), respectively. Tepoxalin inhibits ROS production and NF-κB activation. Tepoxalin suppresses the production of thromboxane B2, leukotriene B4, prostaglandins and cytokines, and blocks platelet aggregation. Tepoxalin exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis. Tepoxalin possesses analgesic activity. Tepoxalin shows no ulcerogenic activity within the anti-inflammatory dose range. Tepoxalin can be used in studies related to adjuvant-induced arthritis, skin inflammation and Alzheimer's disease.
