Description
Curator's Comment: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00279032?term=GW-406381&rank=1; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00120900?term=GW-406381&rank=3; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00113308?term=GW-406381&rank=4

GW406381 is an investigational, highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor for inflammatory pain treatment. It showed effectiveness in animal models of central sensitization such as chronic constriction injury and capsaicin-induced hyperalgesia. It's effect was also evaluated in several clinical trials in patients with peripheral nerve injury (Phase I ), rheumatoid arthritis (Phase III), the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee to control of pain and improvement in function (Phase III), and in treating the signs and symptoms of dental pain following third molar tooth extraction (Phase III). Possessing favourable pharmacokinetic profiles and analgesic activity in vivo, GW406381 have also demonstrated relatively high brain penetration in the rat compared with the clinically available compounds, which may ultimately prove beneficial in the treatment of pain.

Sample Use Guides

5mg, 10mg, 25mg, and 50mg administered once daily for 12 weeks in adults with rheumatoid arthritis
Route of Administration: Oral
Human whole blood stimulated with 100 ug/ml LPS was treated with GW406381. At 10 uM GW406381 profoundly reduced PGE2 and PGF2α (both by more than 90%, P < 0.0001), TxB2 (by more than 80%, P < 0.0001), and total 15-HETE (by more than 70%, P < 0.001)
