Product Description
Nifenazone (Nicodon, Nicodone, Nicofesone) is a pyrazole-based anti-inflammatory drug used for treating a wide range of rheumatic conditions, also used as an analgesic.
Nifenazone (CAS#: 2139-47-1), also known as Nicodone or Nicofesone, is a pyrazolone-derivative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of rheumatic conditions. It exhibits significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Nifenazone inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, reducing prostaglandin production. It has ATC codes M02AA24 (WHO) and N02BB05 (WHO). The compound is a pyrazole drug used in the treatment of rheumatic disorders.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Nifenazone targets cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation and pain. By inhibiting COX activity, Nifenazone reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby alleviating inflammation and pain. As an NSAID, it belongs to the pyrazolone class of anti-inflammatory drugs. The compound's analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through this mechanism.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Nifenazone exhibits a diverse range of bioactivities across multiple assays. It shows potency in inhibiting various targets. The compound's COX inhibitory activity has been characterized in biochemical assays. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects in cell-based models. Detailed in vitro data are available in the pharmacological literature. Nifenazone is used as a reference NSAID in some studies.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Nifenazone has been used as an analgesic for a number of rheumatic conditions. It is administered orally for the treatment of rheumatism and other inflammatory disorders. The compound's efficacy and safety have been evaluated in clinical studies. It is available as a drug in some countries. Detailed in vivo data are available in pharmacological and clinical literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro COX inhibition assays for Nifenazone typically use purified COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. The compound is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 5 mM EDTA, 2 μM heme). Enzyme and inhibitor are pre-incubated for 10-15 minutes, followed by addition of arachidonic acid substrate. Prostaglandin production is measured by ELISA or immunoassay. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. Controls include DMSO vehicle and reference COX inhibitors (e.g., indomethacin).
Cell Assay
For cell-based assays, relevant cell lines (e.g., macrophages or synovial fibroblasts) are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with Nifenazone at various concentrations for 1-24 hours. Cells are stimulated with LPS or other inflammatory stimuli to induce COX-2 expression. Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) levels in the culture medium are measured by ELISA. Cell viability is assessed by MTT. All treatments include vehicle controls and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, Nifenazone is typically administered orally to patients at doses specified in clinical guidelines. For animal studies, rodents are dosed orally or intraperitoneally. Pain models (e.g., carrageenan-induced paw edema, formalin test) are used to assess analgesic activity. Inflammation is assessed by paw swelling measurement or histological analysis. Blood samples are collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. All procedures follow institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Nifenazone is a pyrazolone NSAID with established pharmacokinetic properties. It is orally absorbed and distributed to tissues. The compound is metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine. Half-life and clearance parameters are available from pharmacological literature. The compound is available as a drug in some countries.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Nifenazone has been used clinically as an NSAID and has an established safety profile. Like other NSAIDs, it may cause gastrointestinal side effects. The compound is contraindicated in patients with NSAID hypersensitivity. Standard precautions for NSAID use apply. The compound is available as a pharmaceutical product in some countries.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
