Naproxen API
Nabumetone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H16O2. It is mainly used as an antipyretic, analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is a non-acidic, non-ionic prodrug. After oral absorption, it is converted into the main active product 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid (6-MNA) by the liver. This active metabolite has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. It also has the ability to inhibit the migration of multinuclear leukocytes and monocytes to inflammatory tissues in vitro, and inhibits certain hydrolases in inflammatory exudates.
