Bromfenac sodium

Bromfenac sodium is a potent and orally active inhibitor of COX, with IC50s of 5.56 and 7.45 nM for COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Bromfenac sodium is a brominated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory/analgesic drug (NSAID), and it is commonly used for the research of postoperative inflammation and pain following cataract surgery, and pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME).

How to use

In Vitro:

Bromfenac (90 μg/mL; 48 h) inhibits TGF-b1-induced extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and myofibroblast activation in HConFs and HPFs. Bromfenac (30-90 μg/mL; 48 h) decreases the protein and mRNA expression levels of FN, COL3, a-SMA, and survivin in a dose-dependent manner in HConFs and HPFs. Bromfenac (30-90 μg/mL; 48 h) declines the phosphorylated protein levels of AKT, ERK1/2, and GSK-3b-S9 with dosage in HPFs and HConFs.

In Vivo:

Bromfenac (0.0032-3.16%; 100 or 200 μL; rubbed onto the backs) produces significant anti-inflammatory activity at concentrations as low as 0.1% (4 h pretreatment time) or 0.32% (18h pretreatment time) in rats. Bromfenac (0.032-3.16%; 100 μL; rubbed onto the paws) produces dose-related anti-inflammatory activity in rats. Bromfenac (0.032-1.0%; 50 μL) is 26 times more potent than indomethacin in blocking the erythema when applied directly onto the skin area exposed to UV light in guinea pigs. Bromfenac (0.0032-0.1%; 50μL; rubbed onto the uninjected paw for 4 h per day and 5 days per week) produces a dose and time dependent reduction in the paw volume of both hind limbs in rats. Bromfenac (0.32%; 50μL; rubbed onto the abdomen) produces significant blockade of abdominal constriction to ACh challenge in mice.
