AbstractNonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in therapeutic doses in human and veterinary medicine for the treatment of inflammation, pain, and fever. A method for the simultaneous determination of nine NSAIDs, known as therapeutic prohibited substances, in equine urine was developed and fully validated according to the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and Association of Official Racing Chemists criteria. The validation was performed for naproxen, flunixin, ketoprofen, diclofenac, eltenac, meclofenamic acid, phenylbutazone, vedaprofen, and carprofen in equine urine in accordance with the International Screening Limits (ISL) regulated by International Federation of Horseracing Authorities. After basic hydrolysis, samples were extracted with a C18 cartridge using automated solid‐phase extraction. Several derivatization reagents were investigated, and trimethylphenylammonium hydroxide/methanol (20/80, v/v) was selected. Analyses were carried out using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring mode, but the method can be applied to a large number of analytes. The within‐laboratory reproducibility was not more than 12.8% (≤15%), and mean relative recoveries ranged from 91.1% to 104.1% for inter‐day and intra‐day precision. The decision limits (CCα) and detection capabilities (CCβ) were evaluated at concentrations near the ISL for each therapeutic substance. The validation results demonstrated that the method is highly reproducible, easily applicable, and suitable for the analysis of some NSAIDs in equine urine that have not been previously published. Finally, the method was also applied to known positive samples.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit cyclooxygenases (COX), and the inhibition of COX-2 rather than COX-1 can limit the onset of NSAID-related adverse effects. The pharmacodynamic properties of eltenac, naproxen, tepoxalin, SC-560 and NS 398 in healthy horses were investigated using an in vitro whole blood assay. To predict COX selectivity in clinical use, eltenac and naproxen were also studied ex vivo after intravenous administration. SC-560 acted as a selective COX-1 inhibitor, tepoxalin as a dual inhibitor with potent activity against COX-1, and NS 398 as a preferential COX-2 inhibitor. Eltenac was a preferential COX-2 inhibitor in vitro but un-selective in the ex vivo study. Naproxen maintained its non-selectivity both in vitro and ex vivo. These findings have demonstrated that in vitro studies may not accurately predict in vivo NSAID selectivity for COX and should be confirmed using an ex vivo whole blood assay.

We assessed the effect of novel selective thiopheneacetic acids on cyclooxygenase isoenzymes in vitro and in vivo. Thiopheneacetic acid Eltenac and derivatives were investigated in this study. In human whole blood experiments these derivatives were potent inhibitors of COX-2 (IC(50)=0.02-0.4 microM) with less pronounced effect on COX-1 (IC(50)=0.15-5.6 microM). With COX-1/COX-2 ratios between 7.5- and 16-fold they are in the range of Celecoxib (13-fold). The parent drug Eltenac demonstrated no selectivity for COX-2. In a rat paw edema model, these compounds showed reduction of edema volume in the range of 36-45% at 10 mg/kg (Eltenac 52%, Diclofenac 51%). However, the compounds were superior to Diclofenac and Eltenac with respect to their ulcerogenic and gastrointestinal properties. Introduction of a nitrate-ester moiety to either Eltenac or a derivative did neither improve selectivity or potency in vitro, nor ulcerogenicity in vivo. Molecular modeling of selective thiopheneacetic acid derivatives to the active site of human COX-2 suggested similar binding properties as Lumiracoxib and Diclofenac. In summary, modification of Eltenac generates moderately selective COX-2 drugs in the range of Celecoxib with respect to potency and selectivity. The drugs showed potent anti-inflammatory properties and significant improvement of animal survival in a sub-chronical experimental set up. Thiopheneacetic derivatives are characterized by low pK(a) values, short microsomal half-lives and binding mode to COX-2 similar to Diclofenac and Lumiracoxib. These properties may also have an impact on the transient inhibition of COX-2-dependent prostacyclin, thereby being less associated with vascular complications.
