    Product Description

    Phenylbutazone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and an inhibitor of the peroxidase activity of COX (IC50 = ~100 µM in the presence of hydrogen peroxide).1 It also inhibits prostaglandin I synthase (IC50 = ~25 µM in the presence of hydrogen peroxide). Phenylbutazone (2 mg/kg) reduces increases in type II collagen levels in the inflamed joints of an equine model of LPS-induced acute synovitis.2 Formulations containing phenylbutazone have been used in the treatment of lameness in horses.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
