tcsc2546 Tenoxicam

Tenoxicam, an antiinflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties.

Target: COX

Tenoxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Tenoxicam-treated patients had significant decrease in nitrite levels (p = 0.036) and XO activity (p = 0.01), but their SOD, GSH-Px enzyme activities, and MDA levels were unchanged from baseline. Tenoxicam may have antioxidant effects, and it may reduce nitrite levels, indicating an alteration of NO pathways [1]. Tenoxicam was administered intraperitoneally immediately after BCAO. Histological analyses show that ischemia produced significant striatal as well as hippocampal lesions which were reversed by the Tenoxicam treatment. Tenoxicam also significantly reduced, to control levels, the increased myeloperoxidase activity in hippocampus homogenates observed after ischemia [2].
