Product Description
Etofenamate, formerly known as TVX485 and WHR-5020, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for the treatment of joint and muscular pain. The Etofenamate gel ( 5.0% (w/w) ) with 30% ethanol showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity with suitable physical chemical and microbiologic characteristics. In vitro release and permeation studies revealed that the different amounts of ethanol used influenced the release profiles of etofenamate. Moreover, it was demonstrated that this formulation is an adequate vehicle for the etofenamate skin permeation.
Etofenamate (CAS#: 30544-47-9) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the fenamate class, chemically defined as the diethylene glycol ester of flufenamic acid. Its molecular formula is C18H18F3NO4 and molecular weight is 369.33 g/mol. Etofenamate is a non-selective COX inhibitor with anti-rheumatic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is used topically to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, muscle strains, and sports injuries.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Etofenamate primarily targets cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), preventing prostaglandin synthesis. It also inhibits lipoxygenase and has been shown to inhibit leukotriene B4 biosynthesis. Etofenamate inhibits histamine release, antagonizes bradykinin and serotonin, and inhibits complement activity and hyaluronidase release. It acts on various stages of the inflammatory process.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Etofenamate inhibits lipoxygenase from guinea pig peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes with an IC50 of 5.3 × 10⁻⁵ M. It inhibits leukotriene B4 biosynthesis with an IC50 of 1.2 × 10⁵ M and PGE2 release from macrophages with an IC50 of 2.8 × 10⁷ M. Maximal plasma concentrations after topical administration are well below IC50 values for COX-1 and COX-2, explaining the absence of dose-dependent toxicities.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Etofenamate (40 mg/kg per day for 21 days) inhibits inflammation in a rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis. It decreases pain response in a silver nitrate-induced rat model of arthritis and the acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice, indicating analgesic activity. As a topical NSAID, it is used for joint and muscular pain relief.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro activity of Etofenamate is assessed using cell-free enzyme inhibition assays. For COX inhibition, the enzyme is incubated with arachidonic acid substrate and varying concentrations of Etofenamate, and prostaglandin production is measured by ELISA or radioimmunoassay. For lipoxygenase inhibition, the enzyme from guinea pig peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes is incubated with arachidonic acid, and the formation of lipoxygenase products is measured spectrophotometrically. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, polymorphonuclear leukocytes or macrophages are used. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with various concentrations of Etofenamate (typically 1-100 μM) for 1-24 hours. Leukotriene B4 and PGE2 production is measured by ELISA. For anti-inflammatory studies, cells are stimulated with inflammatory stimuli (e.g., LPS) in the presence of Etofenamate, and cytokine production is measured. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays to ensure observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, Etofenamate is typically administered topically or orally to animal models. In the adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model, Etofenamate is administered at 40 mg/kg per day for 21 days, and paw swelling is measured. In the silver nitrate-induced arthritis model, pain response is assessed. In the acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice, the number of writhes is counted to assess analgesic activity. In pharmacokinetic studies, plasma concentrations are measured by HPLC or LC-MS/MS.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Etofenamate has a molecular weight of 369.33 g/mol and a density of 1.317 g/cm³. It has a boiling point of 451.1°C at 760 mmHg. The compound is used topically as a transdermal formulation. Maximal plasma concentrations after topical administration are low, well below IC50 values for COX-1 and COX-2, explaining the favorable safety profile. Relative bioavailability compared to intramuscular application is low.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Etofenamate is generally well-tolerated as a topical NSAID. The maximal plasma concentrations after topical administration are well below the IC50 values for COX-1 and COX-2, explaining the absence of dose-dependent toxicities. Common side effects may include local skin reactions at the application site. Systemic toxicity is minimal due to low systemic absorption. The compound should be used with caution in patients with NSAID hypersensitivity.

Additional Infomation
2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline]benzoic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl ester is a benzoic acid ester. Etofenadine is used to treat muscle and joint pain. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Etofenamate is a clinically approved topical NSAID used for the treatment of joint and muscular pain, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries. It is available in various topical formulations including gels, creams, and sprays. As a non-selective COX inhibitor, it provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Its additional inhibition of lipoxygenase and other inflammatory mediators may contribute to its efficacy. Etofenamate is available as a generic medication in many countries.
