5-hydroxy Diclofenac is a metabolite of the NSAID diclofenac formed by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4. Diclofenac is a non-selective COX inhibitor. It inhibits human COX-1 and -2 with IC50 values of 0.9-2.7 and 1.5-20 μM, respectively. Diclofenac inhibits ovine COX-1 and -2 with IC50 values of 60 and 220 nM, respectively.
Diclofenac deanol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the phenylacetic acid class with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Contrary to the action of many traditional NSAIDs, diclofenac inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme with greater potency than it does COX-1.
1,3-Distearoyl glycerol, a diacylglycerol with stearic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions, is present in wheat bran extract. It is utilized in creating prodrug versions of NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac) with decreased ulcerogenicity.
