Description and Uses

Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX-2 inhibitor (IC₅₀s = 1.27 and 0.03 μM for the human and ovine enzymes, respectively). It is selective for COX-2 over COX-1 (IC₅₀s = 70 and 22 μM for the human and ovine enzymes, respectively). Nimesulide also inhibits sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter (B⁰AT1) with an IC₅₀ value of 23 μM for the rat kidney transporter. It inhibits infection-induced increases in brain prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂; ) levels, as well as reduces pyresis (ED₅₀ = 0.3 mg/kg), in yeast-infected rats. Nimesulide (2.9 mg/kg) inhibits formalin-induced hindpaw thermal hyperalgesia in rats.

For the treatment of acute pain, the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and primary dysmenorrhoea in adolescents and adults above 12 years old.
