Ticrynafen, or tienilic acid, is a diuretic drug with uric acid-lowering action, formerly marketed for the treatment of hypertension. It was withdrawn from the market only months after its introduction because of reports of serious incidents of drug-induced liver injury including some fatalities. Its hepatotoxicity is considered to be primarily immunoallergic in nature. Tienilic acid is a thiophene-containing mechanism-based inactivator of P450 2C9, resulting from covalent modification of the P450 2C9 protein. The bioactivation mechanism involves oxidation of the thiophene ring system.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

In a double-blind study, 20 hypertensive patients were randomly assigned to a six-week regimen of either ticrynafen or hydrochlorothiazide. Blood pressure was significantly reduced with both medications, although most patients required an increase in dosage from 250 to 500 mg ticrynafen daily.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Human recombinant P450 2C9 was assayed for residual activity with probe substrate [(S)-flurbiprofen, diclofenac, or (S)-warfarin] after a primary incubation with various concentrations of tienilic acid, analog 1, or (±)-suprofen (0.5% total organic v/v) in triplicate in a 96-well plate format at 37°C. Inactivation by tienilic acid and (±)-suprofen was described by comparable kinact and KI values against P450 2C9-mediated (S)-flurbiprofen and diclofenac hydroxylation. Inactivation of (S)-warfarin 7-hydroxylation by both tienilic acid and (±)-suprofen was best fit to a standard hyperbolic equation, which yielded noticeably lower KI estimates [12.5 and 6.7 μM with tienilic acid and (±)-suprofen, respectively], resulting in moderately higher inactivation efficiencies, in particular for (±)-suprofen. Tienilic acid was a markedly better inactivator of P450 2C9 compared with (±)-suprofen, independent of probe substrate, with a 4- to 8-fold higher inactivation efficiency.
