Description

General description

Tolfenamic acid is a fenamate and is made up of a monocarboxylate diphenylamine nucleus.

Application

Tolfenamic acid has been used in Arabidopsis bud assay for activity comparison with quinazolinedione derivatives (QADD) based compounds.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tolfenamic acid is involved in the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. It also plays a role in apoptosis of head and neck cancer cells.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Interferes with synthesis of β-amyloid precursor protein, and thus Aβ peptides, by promoting degradation of an essential transcription factor.

Tolfenamic acid, metoclopramide, caffeine and their combinations in the treatment of migraine attacks.

R A Tokola et al.

Cephalalgia : an international journal of headache, 4(4), 253-263 (1984-12-01)

Tolfenamic acid is a fenamate which inhibits prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis and may act as a PG antagonist as well. Caffeine and metoclopramide are used in combination with analgesics and ergotamine in the treatment of migraine attacks, but controlled clinical studies

Tolfenamic acid inhibits neuroblastoma cell proliferation and induces apoptosis: a novel therapeutic agent for neuroblastoma.

Don Eslin et al.

Molecular carcinogenesis, 52(5), 377-386 (2012-01-04)

Current therapeutic options for recurrent neuroblastoma have poor outcomes that warrant the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Specificity protein (Sp) transcription factors regulate several genes involved in cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. Sp1 regulates genes believed to be important determinants

Tolfenamic acid inhibits ovarian cancer cell growth and decreases the expression of c-Met and survivin through suppressing specificity protein transcription factors.

Riyaz Basha et al.

Gynecologic oncology, 122(1), 163-170 (2011-04-19)

The aberrant expression of hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor c-Met are associated with aggressive disease and poor prognosis in a variety of human malignancies including ovarian cancer (OC). Specificity protein (Sp) transcription factors have high relevance in the signaling
