Due to tenoxicam (TX)'s poor aqueous solubility (0.072 mg/ml), it is poorly absorbable in the GIT, and the long-term oral administration of TX may cause severe GIT disturbances. Topical administration of TX can help in bypassing the GIT adverse effects.

TX has a very slightly aqueous solubility of 0.072 mg/mL resulting in difficulty to be formulated in ophthalmic solutions.

Alternatively, IL-6 may 'trans-signal' in a manner that is facilitated by its binding to a soluble derivative of the IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R). Resultant signal transduction is, respectively, driven by the association of IL-6/IL-6R or IL-6/sIL-6R complex with the membrane-associated signal transducer, gp130 (Glycoprotein 130).
