Nimesulide is a selective COX-2 inhibitor used in a variety of inflammatory, pain and fever states. After healthy volunteers received oral nimesulide 100mg in tablet, granule or suspension form the drug was rapidly and extensively absorbed. Mean peak concentrations (Cmax) of 2.86 to 6.50 mg/L were achieved within 1.22 to 2.75 hours of administration. The presence of food did not reduce either the rate or extent of nimesulide absorption. When nimesulide was administered in the suppository form…

The findings suggest that 1.5 mg/kg bwt may produce adequate clinical effects, and the dosing interval should be 12-24 h depending on condition severity, however, at that dose, the concentration in the animal exceeds the in vitro IC50 for both isoforms, so that COX-1/COX-2 selectivity is lost and side-effects due to COx-1 inhibition are a possibility.

Evaluated plasma and synovial fluid concentrations of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide and its major metabolite (hydroxynimesulides, M1) after a single 100 mg dose and a repeated administration, 100 mg twice a day, in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and joint effusion help to explain the rapid onset of the analgesic effect of nimesULide demonstrated in several clinical conditions.
Nimesulide, a Cyclooxygenase-2 Preferential Inhibitor, Impairs Renal Function in the Newborn Rabbit
- Medicine, BiologyPediatric Research
- 2004
The experiments confirm that prostaglandins, by maintaining renal vasodilation, play a key role in the delicate balance regulating neonatal GFR, and COX2-selective/preferential inhibitors thus should be prescribed with the same caution as nonselective NSAIDs during pregnancy and in the neonatal period.

The biliary excretion data of ester and ether glucuronide suggested that both the Ester and Ether glucuronidation processes are capacity-limited, although the enzyme system for ether glucuride has a lower Km and capacity than the system responsible for the ester glucuronidated.
Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Flurbiprofen and its Enantiomers

Flurbiprofen binds extensively to plasma albumin, apparently in a stereoselective manner, and substantial concentrations of the drug are attained in synovial fluid, which is the proposed site of action of NSAIDs.

Special caution should be exercised to avoid excessive accumulation of the NSAID especially in elderly and/or very sick patients who may be more sensitive to the more serious gastroduodenal and renal side-effects of these agents.
