Description

Nufenoxole is an orally active antidiarrhoeal agent which binds to opioid receptors in the brain and myenteric plexus of the intestine. Nufenoxole is well absorbed in rat, monkey and human after oral administration. Systemic availability of nufenoxole was 85% in monkey and 102% in man. The elimination rate was much faster in rat (t1/2 of 1.8 h) and monkey (t1/2 of 4.9 h) compared with human (t1/2 of 35.8 h). Nufenoxole possesses potent antisecretory properties, which are mediated via opioid receptors and may contribute to its antidiarrhoeal action in man.
