| Targets |
Morniflumate targets cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. As an NSAID, it inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing inflammation, pain, and fever. Morniflumate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with antipyretic properties.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Morniflumate is an NSAID with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. It is the morpholinoethyl ester of niflumic acid. Specific IC50 values for COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition are not extensively detailed in standard reference sources.
|
| ln Vivo |
Morniflumate is used in the symptomatic treatment of inflammatory conditions in humans. It is indicated for the treatment of pain associated with ear, nose, throat (ENT) and gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions. In Italy, morniflumate is also indicated for use in children.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Morniflumate's inhibition of COX enzymes can be assessed using in vitro enzyme assays. Recombinant COX-1 or COX-2 enzymes are incubated with arachidonic acid in the presence of varying concentrations of morniflumate. Prostaglandin production is measured using a suitable detection method (e.g., ELISA) to determine the IC50.
|
| Cell Assay |
The anti-inflammatory activity of morniflumate is evaluated in vitro using cell-based assays. Macrophages or other inflammatory cells are stimulated with LPS in the presence or absence of morniflumate. Pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) and prostaglandin E2 levels are measured by ELISA.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Morniflumate is administered orally in clinical use. In preclinical studies, the compound would be evaluated in animal models of inflammation, such as carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats or adjuvant-induced arthritis. Efficacy is assessed by measuring paw swelling, inflammatory markers, and pain behavior.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Mean 0.12 L/kg 45 ml/min Metabolisms/Metabolites This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of nifluric acid administered orally to 12 subjects in two different formulations. Bioavailability and pharmacokinetic studies following oral and intravenous (IV) administration showed that nifluric acid esters are rapidly hydrolyzed in plasma after absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, releasing a free acidic form, which is the source of its anti-inflammatory effect. This ester has a gastric protective effect against the ulcerative effects of nifluric acid. Biological Half-Life 2 hours Morniflumate is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, niflumic acid. It has a molecular formula of C19H17F3N2O4 and a molecular weight of 394.35. Specific pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and plasma protein binding are not extensively detailed in standard reference sources. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Protein Binding
It has strong binding affinity to plasma proteins and a bioavailability of approximately 100%. Morniflumate, as an NSAID, can cause common adverse effects including gastrointestinal disturbances, such as dyspepsia, nausea, and ulceration. It may also cause renal and cardiovascular effects. Specific LD50 values and organ-specific toxicity data are not extensively detailed in standard reference sources. |
| Additional Infomation |
Morniflumate belongs to the (trifluoromethyl)benzene family of compounds. Morniflumate is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antipyretic properties. It is a morpholine ethyl ester of niflurane. One study showed that patients with bronchitis experienced improvement in physical examination and clinical symptoms after taking Morniflumate. Indications: Morniflumate is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the respiratory, otolaryngological, genitourinary, and skeletal systems in adults. In Italy, it is also indicated for the treatment of pain caused by otolaryngological and gastrointestinal inflammation in children. Morniflumate is a well-established NSAID that has been used for over thirty years in Italy (especially for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections in children), France, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal; it is well-tolerated. Mechanism of Action: The main mechanism of action of niflurane and its esters is the inhibition of enzymes involved in the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins. This drug inhibits the cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathways, leading to fever and inflammation. Niflurane is a calcium-activated chloride channel blocker, used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent to treat inflammatory diseases. Niflurane does not directly inhibit calcium channels or activate potassium channels. Instead, it selectively reduces the pressor response induced by norepinephrine and serotonin by inhibiting mechanisms that lead to the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. Niflurane (NFA) exhibits biphasic behavior in human CLC-K channels, indicating the presence of two functionally distinct binding sites: an activating site and a blocking site.
Morniflumate (CAS# 65847-85-0) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) derived from niflumic acid. It is used in the symptomatic treatment of inflammatory conditions of the airways, ENT, and the urogenital and osteoarticular systems. Morniflumate is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, niflumic acid. |
