Meclofenamic acid(Cat No.:R010116)is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the fenamate class. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Originally used for conditions such as arthritis, dysmenorrhea, and muscle pain, it exhibits both analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Meclofenamic acid also has applications in biomedical research, where it is studied for ion channel modulation and cancer-related pathways. Despite its effectiveness, its clinical use is limited by gastrointestinal side effects and the availability of safer alternatives.
