    Product Description

    Nabumetone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a prodrug form of 6-methoxy naphthalene acetic acid (Item No. 70620).1 Nabumetone (5-45 mg/kg) reduces carrageenan-induced edema in rats, as well as UV-induced erythema in guinea pigs (ED50 = 11 mg/kg).2 It reduces phenyl-p-quinone-induced writhing in mice (ED50 = 152 mg/kg). Nabumetone (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) reduces endotoxin-induced pyresis in rabbits.
