    Product Description

    Diclofenac amide is a prodrug form of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac (Item Nos. 70680 | 22983).1 It decreases paw thickness in a rat model of carrageenan-induced paw edema when administered at a dose of 100 μmol/kg and decreases acetic acid-induced writhing in mice at 100 μmol/kg.2 Diclofenac amide has reduced ulcerogenicity in rats compared to diclofenac. It is also a degradation product of diclofenac resulting from photo-transformation or spontaneous cyclization in strongly acidic pH conditions.3,4 Diclofenac amide has been used as a synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of compounds with anticancer activity as well as compounds with COX-1, COX-2, and/or 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitory activity.5,6
