Tolmetin sodium dihydrate is an orally active and potent COX inhibitor with IC50s of 0.35 μM and 0.82 μM human COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Tolmetin sodium dihydrate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (0.25 mM) does not attenuate lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenate. Tolmetin (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 mM) shows radical scavenging properties but without superoxide anion generation in rat brain homogenat[3]. Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (0.001-100 μM) shows anticancer activity againts HT-29 colon cancer cell line in a dose-dependent manner[4]. Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (0-100 μM) shows no effect on osteoblast growth[5].
Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (30,100 mg/kg
gavage
single dose or twice daily for 3 and 14 days) shows maximal ulcerogenic effect 4 h after the single dose, while potently decreases after 3 and 14 days of repeated administration in male Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g. Tolmetin causes gastric lesions in 100 mg/kg[2]. Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (5 mg/kg twice a day for 5 days) pre-treatment considerably attenuates quinolinic acid (QA)-induced neurotoxicity[3].
Rats[1] After 2 weeks of acclimatization, rats are randomized to different groups and given the non-selective COX inhibitors, amtolmetin guacyl (AMG) (50 and 150 mg/kg) and Tolmetin (30 and 100 mg/kg) as well as the selective COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib (CXIB
20 and 60 mg/kg). The compounds are suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) immediately before use and administered by gavage in a 10-mL/kg volume. Control groups receive CMC in the same volume. Rats from each group are divided into 3 subgroups, consisting each of at least 10 animals. Subgroups are dosed either with a single dose (acute treatment group) or twice daily for 3 and 14 days (chronic treatment groups). To ensure that all groups are dosed for the same period of time, those receiving less than 14 days of NSAIDs are given CMC until they are due to start the assigned treatment. Rats are killed by cervical dislocation 4 h after the last administration. Stomachs are immediately removed, opened along the lesser curvature and gently rinsed[1].
