D0122 | Tolfenamic Acid

Molecular Formula C14H12ClNO2
Molecular Weight 261.7
Structure
State solid
Clearance The estimated clearance rate of tolfenamic acid is 0.142-0.175 L.h/kg.[A31842] When tested intravenously, the reported clearance rate was 72.4 ml.h/kg.[A31849]
Volume of distribution The volume of distribution is of 1.79-3.2 L/kg.[A31842] When tested intravenously, the reported steady-state volume of distribution was 0.33 L/kg.[A31849]
Route of elimination Tolfenamic acid is cleared relatively fast and it undergoes by hepatic metabolism where the produced metabolites are renally cleared as glucuronic acid conjugates.[A31851] Most of the elimination occurs by extrarenal mechanisms in which the unchanged drug together with its glucuronide in urine accounts for only 8.8% of the administered dose.[A7838]
Protein binding Tolfenamic acid presents high protein binding properties reaching 99.7% of the administered dose.[A7838] Studies have studied the changes in protein binding depending on the presence of certain disorders that modify the dialysis equilibrium. These studies verify that modifications in blood creatinine, urea and bilirubin can significantly alter the concentration of unbound tolfenamic acid. The main binding structure is predicted to be related to lipid membrane structures.[A31850]
Half life The estimated half-life of tolfenamic acid is 8.01-13.50 hours.[A31842] When tested intravenously, the reported half-life was 6.1h.[A31849]
Absorption Tolfenamic acid pharmacokinetic is marked by a short tmax of 0.94-2.04 h.[A31842] It also presented a linear pharmacokinetic profile with an AUC from 13-50 mcg/ml.h if administered in a dose of 2-8 mg/kg respectively.[A31843] The oral absorption is delayed and it gives a mean lag-time to absorption of 32 min. The peak plasma concentration of 11.1 mcg/ml.[A31849] The bioavailability of tolfenamic acid is around 75%.[A31851]
