Patients were randomized to receive parenteral diclofenac at a loading dose of 75 mg followed by the infusion of 5-10 mL/kg per hour isotonic saline over 4 h after the procedure, or the infusion of 500 mL isotonic saline as placebo. Patients were evaluated clinically, and serum amylase levels were measured 4, 8 and 24 h after the procedure.RESULTS： The two groups were matched for age, sex, underlying disease, ERCP findings, and type of treatment. The overall incidence of pancreatitis was 7.5% in the diclofenac group and 17.5% in the placebo group （12.5% in total）. There were no significant differences in the incidence of pancreatitis and other variables between the two groups. In the subgroup analysis, the frequency of pancreatitis in the patients without sphincter of Oddi dysfunction （SOD） was significantly lower in the diclofenac group than in the control group （ρ = 0.047）.CONCLUSION： Intramuscular diclofenac and fluid replacement lowered the rate of pancreatitis in patients without SOD.展开更多

Low-frequency phonophoresis was used to improve the efficiency of drug delivery.Pain at rest [using a visual analog scale(VAS)], pain on movement(VAS), and range of motion(degrees) in the three groups were evaluated using the Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMACAI) scores. Safety assessments comprised emergency adverse events, aswell as laboratory tests of blood biochemistry, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase.RESULTS: Significant improvements were found after treatment in all outcome measures except stiffness and range of motion in patients in the CHMP group and SDP group(P < 0.05). No significant differences in all outcome measures were found between the CHMP group and SDP group.CONCLUSION: CHMP and SDP can show good therapeutic effects for KOA in terms of relieving pain and improving physical function.展开更多

METHODS： Group sequential observational comparative study. After phacoemulsification, patients received two months for topical treatment of either diclofenac sodium, bromfenac or nepafenac. All patients received concomitant topical tobramycin 0.3% and topical prednisolone 1%. We measured CME using optical coherence tomography（OCT） central foveal thickness, macular thickness and total macular volume. RESULTS： We enrolled 243 patients from January to June 2015, and 35% received diclofenac, 32.9% bromfenac and 32.1% nepafenac. When we compared pre-operative to three weeks to two months, bromfenac was more effective in reducing foveal volume（21.3 and 35.4 mm3, respectively）, compared with the diclofenac（1.3 and 11.5 mm3, respectively）, and the nepafenac group, became more edematous 6.4 and 5.3, respectively. Totally 133 patients completed the post-surgical satisfaction questionnaire. Patients complained of eye stickiness in 13.8% whom we gave nepafenac, versus 10.3% whom we gave diclofenac sodium, and in 0 whom we gave bromfenac. CONCLUSION： Bromfenac is the best tolerated and is more effective than diclofenac and nepafenac in reducing CME after phacoemulsification.展开更多

Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) revealed that all the microcapsules were discrete and spherical in shape;however, the surface porosity of the matrix microcap-sules appeared to be less than that of the non-matrix microcapsules. In case of non-matrix microcapsules, an increase in the volume of water in W1 phase resulted in decrease in the drug entrapment efficiency (DEE) along with increase in release of the drug in both SGF and SIF. While in case of matrix microcapsules increase in the amount of SAL in W1 phase and concentration of the coating polymer in organic phase led to increase in DEE of the matrix microcapsules and considerable decrease in the drug release in both SGF and SIF. No interaction between the drug and any of the polymers used to prepare microcapsules was evident from Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) analysis. The matrix microcapsules prepared using higher concentration of SAL and PMMA released the drug following zero order or Case-II transport model. The matrix microcapsules appeared to be suitable for releasing lesser amounts of DFS in SGF and providing extended release in SIF.展开更多

Five products of DCF including an iminoquinone product(2,5-iminoquinone-diclofenac) and four dimer products were observed and identified by tandem mass spectrometry during the reaction. Meanwhile, 2,5-iminoquinone-diclofenac was identified to be the major product, accounting for 83.09% of the transformed DCF. According to the results of spectroscopic Mn(III) trapping experiments and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Mn(IV) contained in birnessite solid was consumed and mainly converted into Mn(III) during reaction process, which proved that the removal of DCF by birnessite was through oxidation. Based on the identified products of DCF and the changes of Mn valence state in birnessite solid, a tentative transformation pathway of DCF was proposed.展开更多

This study explored the oxidation kinetics of DCF by permanganate(Mn(Ⅶ)), and expounded the underlying reason for the unusual p Hdependency that was unclear in previous studies. The kinetics of DCF analogues(i.e., aromatic secondary amines) by Mn(Ⅶ) oxidation were comparatively investigated. Then, a tentative kinetic model involving the formation of an intermediate between Mn(Ⅶ) and DCF or its analogues was proposed to fit the p H-rate profile. Since DCF contained two chloro groups, and a carboxyl group which could be ionized by negative electrospray ionization, a precursor ionization scanning approach was used for the first time for detection of N-containing chlorinated oxidation products. New degradation pathways of DCF containing ring opening, carboxylation, carbonylation, electrophilic addition, hydroxylation and dehydrogenation were proposed based on the identified oxidation products. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the introduction of various reducing agents such as Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅱ) and bisulfite significantly improved the oxidation kinetics of DCF by Mn(Ⅶ). The positive effects of Mn(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅱ) were mainly attributed to the accelerated formation of MnO_(2)that acted as a catalyst or co-oxidizer contributing to DCF degradation. The presence of bisulfite caused two-stage kinetics, where a sharp drop of DCF concentration followed by a slowdown of DCF removal. In the first stage, potent reactive manganese species(e.g., Mn(Ⅲ), Mn(V), and Mn(VI)) and sulfate radical were generated during reaction of bisulfite with Mn(Ⅶ), whereas bisulfite was depleted fast due to excess Mn(Ⅶ) concentrations and the system became the Mn(Ⅶ)/MnO_(2)system in the second stage. These results provide new insight into reaction mechanism of DCF with Mn(Ⅶ)as well as propose a feasible strategy for enhancing the treatment of DCF contaminated water by Mn(Ⅶ).展开更多

For the first time, we synthesized molybdenum phosphide (MoP) with dual active sites for the degradation of diclofenac (DCF) in the Fenton-like process. The DCF degradation rate constant (k) of MoP + H_(2)O_(2) process was calculated to be 0.13 min^(-1) within 40 min, indicating a highly efficient catalytic ability of MoP. In addition, this catalyst exhibits a stable structure and good activity, which could apply in a broad pH range, different ions solution and real wastewater condition. Accordingly, this efficient catalytic capability may be attributed to the presence of the metal sites Mo^(δ+) and the electron-rich sites P^(δ-) in MoP, which could induce the generation of hydroxyl radical (^(·)OH) and superoxide radical (^(·)O_(2)^(-)) through electron transfer, resulting in the effective removal of DCF. This study provides an idea for the optimization of Fenton-like technologies and environmental remediation.展开更多

DFP granules exhibited low total amounts of impurities when prepared through the wet granulation method using a granulating solvent with a low water/ethanol ratio. The impurities of the wet DFP mass dried at 70 ℃ were higher than those dried at 50 ℃ or 60 ℃. DFP granules were stable under strong light exposure during preparation. DFP granules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1：4 water/ethanol ratio had a relatively smaller particle size and higher angle of repose than those prepared using granulating solvents with other water/ethanol ratios. The dissolution rate of DFP capsules prepared using four different water/ethanol ratios was less than 2% after 10 min of dissolution and increased to 95% within 30 min of dissolution. The total amount of drug impurities of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with 1：4 water/ethanol ratio was considerably lower than those of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1：0 water/ethanol solvent ratio. Regardless of the water/ethanol ratio, the capsules showed poor stability when exposed to high temperature（60 ℃） and strong light（4500±500 Lux） for 10 days, but were relatively stable at high humidity（92.5% RH）. The results of the long-term stability（25±2 ℃ and 60%±10% relative humidity） study showed that DFP granules were more stable than DFP capsules, and were stable for 12 months. The type of encapsulating material did not affect the 2-month stability of DFP. DFP granules are sensitive to granulating solvent and drying temperature and DFP capsules should be stored away from high temperature and strong light.展开更多

The reaction conditions were examined. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models were applied to determine appropriate equilibrium expression. The results show that the experimental data fit the Freundlich equation well. Thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. The kinetic study indicates that the adsorption of diclofenac can be well described with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the process is controlled by multiple steps.展开更多

Indeed, research on the efficacy of NSAIDs has shown that no NSAID is recognized as the most efficient anti-inflammatory drug. We have made a theoretical study of diclofenac, bromfenac and amfenac, in order to compare their efficacy from some physicochemical properties. To do this, we used the DFT and TD-DTF methods at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p) level theory. The lipophilicity study shows that diclofenac and bromfenac are very lipophilic. Acidity study shows that diclofenac is more acid than bromfenac and amfenac. The results from molecular orbital and the TD-DFT calculations reveal that for the three NSAIDs, the lowest energy transition is due to the excitation from HOMO to LUMO. The absorption energy corresponding to H→L transition is comparable with the energy gap value. Our findings have shown that bromfenac is more reactive than amfenac, which is more reactive than diclofenac.展开更多

This was a proof-of-concept, prospective, safety and efficacy study of the effect of intralesionally administered diclofenac 25 mg/ml given once a week to 3 target cutaneous neurofibromas for 4 consecutive weeks. Overall, there was no significant change in neurofibroma size. During the study, some treated lesions developed signs of necrosis and fell off after a few weeks, but none of the control neurofibromas fell off. There were no significant changes in patient’s vital signs. A few adverse events occurred, mostly at the injection sites. During the study, some neurofibromas developed necrosis after the diclofenac injections and eventually detached from the patient. Overall, diclofenac was well tolerated, suggesting minimal systemic exposure, which required confirmation and further studies, including bioavailability analysis.展开更多

文摘Aquatic contamination of diclofenac(DCF),an emergent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAIDs),can result in adverse effects to many ecosystems through biomagnification.Hence,introducing effective remediation techniques to sequester the pharmaceutical wastes is highly fundamental to prevent their accumulation in the environment.Generally,adsorption has been presented as a green and efficient approach.Herein,we report the characterization and application of the novel magnetic nanocomposite(GO@CoFe2O4)derived from cobalt-based ferrite(CoFe2O4)and graphene oxide(GO)for DCF adsorption.For the optimization procedure,the response surface methodology(RSM)was adopted to investigate the impacts of DCF concentration(1.6-18.4 mg/L),DCF dosage(0.08-0.92 g/L),and solution pH(2.6-9.4)to find the optimum conditions for DCF removal,at 10.5 mg/L,0.74 g/L,and pH 4,respectively.For the adsorption experiments,the kinetic,isotherm,thermodynamic,and intraparticle diffusion models were systematically studied.Moreover,we have elucidated the role of functional groups on the surface of GO@CoFe2O4 in enhancing the adsorption of DCF drug.With good removal efficiency(up to 86.1%),high maximum adsorption capacity(32.4 mg/g),GO@CoFe2O4 can be a potential candidate to eliminate DCF drug from water.
文摘AIM： To compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety of bromfenac 0.09%, nepafenac 0.1% or diclofenac 0.1% for the prophylaxis of the cystoid macular edema（CME） after phacoemulsification. METHODS： Group sequential observational comparative study. After phacoemulsification, patients received two months for topical treatment of either diclofenac sodium, bromfenac or nepafenac. All patients received concomitant topical tobramycin 0.3% and topical prednisolone 1%. We measured CME using optical coherence tomography（OCT） central foveal thickness, macular thickness and total macular volume. RESULTS： We enrolled 243 patients from January to June 2015, and 35% received diclofenac, 32.9% bromfenac and 32.1% nepafenac. When we compared pre-operative to three weeks to two months, bromfenac was more effective in reducing foveal volume（21.3 and 35.4 mm3, respectively）, compared with the diclofenac（1.3 and 11.5 mm3, respectively）, and the nepafenac group, became more edematous 6.4 and 5.3, respectively. Totally 133 patients completed the post-surgical satisfaction questionnaire. Patients complained of eye stickiness in 13.8% whom we gave nepafenac, versus 10.3% whom we gave diclofenac sodium, and in 0 whom we gave bromfenac. CONCLUSION： Bromfenac is the best tolerated and is more effective than diclofenac and nepafenac in reducing CME after phacoemulsification.
文摘The aim of this study was to design a compound transdermal patch containing diclofenac(DA)and teriflunomide(TEF)for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).The various organic amines salts of DA were prepared and their forming was confirmed using DSC and FTIR.The percutaneous permeation of organic amines salt of DA was investigated in vitro using a two-chamber diffusion cell with excised rabbit skin as transdermal barrier.The formulation of the patch was optimized in terms of the concentration of percutaneous permeation enhancer and the loading dose of drugs.The pharmacokinetic behavior of the optimal formulation was studies in rabbits and the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of the optimal patch were evaluated with the adjuvant arthritis model in rats and the pain model in mice,respectively.The result showed that skin penetration of diclofenactriethylamine(DA-TEtA)salt was better than other organic amine salts.Based on previous study of our laboratory,teriflunomide-triethylamine(TEF-TEtA)significantly enhanced the skin permeation of TEF.10%of azone(AZ)was the best enhancer for the two drugs.The optimal patch formulation was composed of 2%of TEF-TEtA,6%of DA-TEtA and 10%of AZ.The cumulative permeated amount of DA-TEtA in vitro was comparable with that of the commercial diclofenac-diethylamine(DA-DEtA)patch.The absolute bioavailability of TEFTEtA was 42%,which could achieve the therapeutic drug levels.In animal study,the optimized compound patch containing DA-TEtA and TEF-TEtA displayed significant antiinflammatory and analgesic effect,which indicated the potential of the compound patch.
文摘Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) coated microcapsules of diclofenac sodium (DFS) were prepared by a modified wa-ter-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsion solvent evaporation method using sodium alginate (SAL) as a matrix material in the internal aqueous phase (W1).Their performance with respect to controlled release of the drug in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) were evaluated, and compared with non-matrix microcapsules prepared by the conventional W1/O/W2 emulsion solvent evaporation method. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) revealed that all the microcapsules were discrete and spherical in shape;however, the surface porosity of the matrix microcap-sules appeared to be less than that of the non-matrix microcapsules. In case of non-matrix microcapsules, an increase in the volume of water in W1 phase resulted in decrease in the drug entrapment efficiency (DEE) along with increase in release of the drug in both SGF and SIF. While in case of matrix microcapsules increase in the amount of SAL in W1 phase and concentration of the coating polymer in organic phase led to increase in DEE of the matrix microcapsules and considerable decrease in the drug release in both SGF and SIF. No interaction between the drug and any of the polymers used to prepare microcapsules was evident from Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) analysis. The matrix microcapsules prepared using higher concentration of SAL and PMMA released the drug following zero order or Case-II transport model. The matrix microcapsules appeared to be suitable for releasing lesser amounts of DFS in SGF and providing extended release in SIF.

文摘Diclofenac(DCF), a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, reacted readily with birnessite under mild conditions, and the pseudo first order kinetic constants achieved 8.84 × 10^-2 hr^-1. Five products of DCF including an iminoquinone product(2,5-iminoquinone-diclofenac) and four dimer products were observed and identified by tandem mass spectrometry during the reaction. Meanwhile, 2,5-iminoquinone-diclofenac was identified to be the major product, accounting for 83.09% of the transformed DCF. According to the results of spectroscopic Mn(III) trapping experiments and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Mn(IV) contained in birnessite solid was consumed and mainly converted into Mn(III) during reaction process, which proved that the removal of DCF by birnessite was through oxidation. Based on the identified products of DCF and the changes of Mn valence state in birnessite solid, a tentative transformation pathway of DCF was proposed.

文摘In the present work we compared the biological activity of DCF,4’-OHDCF and 5-OHDCF as molecules of most biodegradation pathways of DCF and selected transformation products(2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid;2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 2,6-dichloroaniline)which are produced during AOPs,such as ozonation and UV/H2 O2.We also examined the interaction of DCF with chlorogenic acid(CGA).CGA is commonly used in human diet and entering the environment along with waste mainly from the processing and brewing of coffee and it can be toxic for microorganisms included in activated sludge.In the present experiment the evaluation of following parameters was performed:E.coli K-12 cells viability,growth inhibition of E.coli K-12 culture,LC50 and mortality of Chironomus aprilinus,ge no toxicity,sodA promoter induction and ROS generation.In addition the reactivity of E.coli SM recA:luxCDABE biosensor strain in wastewater matrices was measured.The results showed the influence of DCF,4’-OHDCF and 5-OHDCF on E.coli K-12 cells viability and bacteria growth,comparable to AOPs by-products.The highest toxicity was observed for selected,tested AOPs by-products,in comparison to the DCF,4’-OHDCF and 5-OHDCF.Genotoxicity assay indicated that 2,6-dichloroaniline(AOPs by-product)had the highest toxic effect.The oxidative stress assays revealed that the highest level of ROS generation and sodA promoter induction were obtained for DCF,4’-OHDCF and 5-OHDCF,compared to other tested compounds.We have also found that there is an interaction between chlorogenic acid and DCF,which resulted in increased toxicity of the mixture of the both compounds to E.coli K-12,comparable to parent chemicals.The strongest response of E.coli SM biosensor strain with recA:luxCDABE genetic construct in filtered treated wastewaters,comparable to control sample was noticed.It indicates,that E.coli SM recA:luxCDABE biosensor strains is a good tool for bacteria monitoring in wastewater environment.Due to toxicity and biological activity of tested DCF transformation products,there is a need to use additional wastewater treatment systems for wastewater contaminated with pharmaceutical residues.

文摘The large consumption and discharge of diclofenac(DCF) lead to its frequent detection in surface water and groundwater, posing great threats to humans and ecosystems. This study explored the oxidation kinetics of DCF by permanganate(Mn(Ⅶ)), and expounded the underlying reason for the unusual p Hdependency that was unclear in previous studies. The kinetics of DCF analogues(i.e., aromatic secondary amines) by Mn(Ⅶ) oxidation were comparatively investigated. Then, a tentative kinetic model involving the formation of an intermediate between Mn(Ⅶ) and DCF or its analogues was proposed to fit the p H-rate profile. Since DCF contained two chloro groups, and a carboxyl group which could be ionized by negative electrospray ionization, a precursor ionization scanning approach was used for the first time for detection of N-containing chlorinated oxidation products. New degradation pathways of DCF containing ring opening, carboxylation, carbonylation, electrophilic addition, hydroxylation and dehydrogenation were proposed based on the identified oxidation products. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the introduction of various reducing agents such as Mn(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅱ) and bisulfite significantly improved the oxidation kinetics of DCF by Mn(Ⅶ). The positive effects of Mn(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅱ) were mainly attributed to the accelerated formation of MnO_(2)that acted as a catalyst or co-oxidizer contributing to DCF degradation. The presence of bisulfite caused two-stage kinetics, where a sharp drop of DCF concentration followed by a slowdown of DCF removal. In the first stage, potent reactive manganese species(e.g., Mn(Ⅲ), Mn(V), and Mn(VI)) and sulfate radical were generated during reaction of bisulfite with Mn(Ⅶ), whereas bisulfite was depleted fast due to excess Mn(Ⅶ) concentrations and the system became the Mn(Ⅶ)/MnO_(2)system in the second stage. These results provide new insight into reaction mechanism of DCF with Mn(Ⅶ)as well as propose a feasible strategy for enhancing the treatment of DCF contaminated water by Mn(Ⅶ).

文摘The leaching and non-recoverability of mental ions have always limited the practical application of Fenton-like processes. For the first time, we synthesized molybdenum phosphide (MoP) with dual active sites for the degradation of diclofenac (DCF) in the Fenton-like process. The DCF degradation rate constant (k) of MoP + H_(2)O_(2) process was calculated to be 0.13 min^(-1) within 40 min, indicating a highly efficient catalytic ability of MoP. In addition, this catalyst exhibits a stable structure and good activity, which could apply in a broad pH range, different ions solution and real wastewater condition. Accordingly, this efficient catalytic capability may be attributed to the presence of the metal sites Mo^(δ+) and the electron-rich sites P^(δ-) in MoP, which could induce the generation of hydroxyl radical (^(·)OH) and superoxide radical (^(·)O_(2)^(-)) through electron transfer, resulting in the effective removal of DCF. This study provides an idea for the optimization of Fenton-like technologies and environmental remediation.

文摘This study aimed to investigate the effects of different process parameters on the physical properties, in vitro dissolution rate, and short and long-term stability of diclofenac potassium（DFP） granules and capsules. DFP granules exhibited low total amounts of impurities when prepared through the wet granulation method using a granulating solvent with a low water/ethanol ratio. The impurities of the wet DFP mass dried at 70 ℃ were higher than those dried at 50 ℃ or 60 ℃. DFP granules were stable under strong light exposure during preparation. DFP granules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1：4 water/ethanol ratio had a relatively smaller particle size and higher angle of repose than those prepared using granulating solvents with other water/ethanol ratios. The dissolution rate of DFP capsules prepared using four different water/ethanol ratios was less than 2% after 10 min of dissolution and increased to 95% within 30 min of dissolution. The total amount of drug impurities of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with 1：4 water/ethanol ratio was considerably lower than those of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1：0 water/ethanol solvent ratio. Regardless of the water/ethanol ratio, the capsules showed poor stability when exposed to high temperature（60 ℃） and strong light（4500±500 Lux） for 10 days, but were relatively stable at high humidity（92.5% RH）. The results of the long-term stability（25±2 ℃ and 60%±10% relative humidity） study showed that DFP granules were more stable than DFP capsules, and were stable for 12 months. The type of encapsulating material did not affect the 2-month stability of DFP. DFP granules are sensitive to granulating solvent and drying temperature and DFP capsules should be stored away from high temperature and strong light.

文摘Diclofenac(DCF)is one of the most frequently detected pharmaceuticals in groundwater,posing a great threat to the environment and human health due to its toxicity.To mitigate the DCF contamination,experiments on DCF degradation by the combined process of zero-valent iron nanoparticles(nZVI)and nano calcium peroxide(nCaO_(2))were performed.A batch experiment was conducted to examine the influence of the adding dosages of both nZVI and nCaO_(2)nanoparticles and pH value on the DCF removal.In the meantime,the continuous-flow experiment was done to explore the sustainability of the DCF degradation by jointly adding nZVI/nCaO_(2)nanoparticles in the reaction system.The results show that the nZVI/nCaO_(2)can effectively remove the DCF in the batch test with only 0.05 g/L nZVI and 0.2 g/L nCaO_(2)added,resulting in a removal rate of greater than 90%in a 2-hour reaction with an initial pH of 5.The degradation rate of DCF was positively correlated with the dosage of nCaO_(2),and negatively correlated with both nZVI dosage and the initial pH value.The order of significance of the three factors is identified as pH value>nZVI dosage>nCaO_(2)dosage.In the continuous-flow reaction system,the DCF removal rates remained above 75%within 150 minutes at the pH of 5,with the applied dosages of 0.5 g/L for nZVI and 1.0 g/L for nCaO_(2).These results provide a theoretical basis for the nZVI/nCaO_(2)application to remove DCF in groundwater.

文摘Modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) were used as adsorbents for removal of diclofenac. The reaction conditions were examined. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models were applied to determine appropriate equilibrium expression. The results show that the experimental data fit the Freundlich equation well. Thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. The kinetic study indicates that the adsorption of diclofenac can be well described with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the process is controlled by multiple steps.
文摘This work is a contribution of theoretical chemistry to the classification of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Indeed, research on the efficacy of NSAIDs has shown that no NSAID is recognized as the most efficient anti-inflammatory drug. We have made a theoretical study of diclofenac, bromfenac and amfenac, in order to compare their efficacy from some physicochemical properties. To do this, we used the DFT and TD-DTF methods at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p) level theory. The lipophilicity study shows that diclofenac and bromfenac are very lipophilic. Acidity study shows that diclofenac is more acid than bromfenac and amfenac. The results from molecular orbital and the TD-DFT calculations reveal that for the three NSAIDs, the lowest energy transition is due to the excitation from HOMO to LUMO. The absorption energy corresponding to H→L transition is comparable with the energy gap value. Our findings have shown that bromfenac is more reactive than amfenac, which is more reactive than diclofenac.
文摘The objectives of this study were to assess the safety and efficacy of intralesionally administered diclofenac in the treatment of cutaneous neurofibromas in patients with NF1. This was a proof-of-concept, prospective, safety and efficacy study of the effect of intralesionally administered diclofenac 25 mg/ml given once a week to 3 target cutaneous neurofibromas for 4 consecutive weeks. Overall, there was no significant change in neurofibroma size. During the study, some treated lesions developed signs of necrosis and fell off after a few weeks, but none of the control neurofibromas fell off. There were no significant changes in patient’s vital signs. A few adverse events occurred, mostly at the injection sites. During the study, some neurofibromas developed necrosis after the diclofenac injections and eventually detached from the patient. Overall, diclofenac was well tolerated, suggesting minimal systemic exposure, which required confirmation and further studies, including bioavailability analysis.
