NCX-4016, a nitric oxide non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NO-NSAID) which can inhibit cyclooxygenase as well as release nitric oxide, is under development by NicOx as a potential treatment for thrombosis, inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. NCX-4016 possesses a broad spectrum of antithrombotic and antiinflammatory activities. NCX-4016 has been shown to inhibit platelet activation in vitro more effectively than aspirin, to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation, to exert an endothelial cell protective activity and to suppress the function of several inflammatory cells potentially involved in atherothrombosis. In animal models, NCX-4016 protected from platelet thromboembolism, prevented restenosis in atherosclerosis-prone animals, protected the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury, and induced neoangiogenesis in critically ischemic limbs. Moreover, it displayed little or no gastric toxicity and appeared to protect stomach from noxious stimuli, including aspirin. NCX-4016 has been evaluated in healthy volunteers and found to inhibit platelet cyclo-oxygenase-1 (COX-1) similarly to or slightly less than aspirin, to raise the circulating levels of NO-degradation products, and to have little or no gastric toxicity in short term studies. NCX-4016 was in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of vascular disorders such as peripheral vascular disease and other cardiovascular diseases including thrombosis, complications of endothelium-related diseases such as diabetes and other. But this research was discontinued.

METABOLITE -> PARENT
The results relative to i.p. administration show a more pronounced and rapid NO delivery (peak of both NOx and RS-NO at 1 h and plateau between 1 and 2 h), still coincident with the peak of SA, and the presence in plasma of NCX 4015 (a metabolite of NCX 4016 which still bears the nitrate function). In myocardial tissue from p.o. treated rats, no drug or metabolites were ever detected, and the NOx levels were always in the range of the controls.

ACTIVE MOIETY
French company NicOx announced that it and the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) have ended an NCI-sponsored Phase I trial studying the potential of NCX 4016 as a preventative treatment for colon cancer. The company said it would delay the start of planned Phase II studies of NCX 4016 for Type 2 diabetes pending the completion of additional testing on NCX 4015.
ACTIVE MOIETY
To check the stability of NCX 4016 in the acidic gastric milieu and to explain the different distribution of the drug following p.o. or i.p. administration, the gastric content of the orally-treated animals at different post-dosing times was analysed by HPLC. The unchanged drug was detected up to 8 h post-dosing (levels slowly decreased with time), and the only metabolite to be detected was the O-deacetylated derivative (NCX 4023), which was present in low concentrations up to 4 h post-dosing. This indicates that NCX 4016 does not undergo biotransformation in the upper part of gastrointestinal tract (no direct release of NO in this district) and that the stomach acts as a reservoir for the drug.
