In vitro study | The main mechanism of action of Diclofenac diethylamine's anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects is thought to be through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. It exerts bacteriostatic activity by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis. Inhibition of COX also reduces prostaglandins in gastric epithelial cells, making them more susceptible to corrosion by stomach acid. This is also the main side effect of diclofenac diethylamine. Diclofenac diethylamine blocks the cox2-isozyme (about 10-fold) with low to moderate selectivity, thus causing a lower incidence of gastrointestinal disorders than indomethacin and aspirin. |
