Tiaprofenic acid (Surgam) is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for acute inflammation during episode of upper respiratory tract infection in adults. Its efficacy in association was already demonstrated in tonsillitis. The efficacy and tolerance of tiaprofenic acid for the treatment of inflammation occurring in the course of adult acute sinusitis were evaluated by a randomized study versus paracetamol and placebo. 139 patients were included in the study. 134 patients were evaluated for efficacy. They received either tiaprofenic acid or paracetamol or placebo during seven days together with amoxicillin. We used evaluation criterion taking into consideration inflammatory physical indications of sinusitis and opinions of investigators and patients. After 7 days of treatment the efficacy of tiaprofenic acid (Surgam) was significantly superior to placebo on all principal criterion studied. Amelioration with paracetamol was lower, but no statistical difference was found between paracetamol and tiaprofenic acid (Surgam) groups. Tolerance was good in every group.

Lung Cancer (LC) is among the most death-causing cancers, has caused the most destruction and is a gender-neutral cancer, and WHO has kept this cancer on its priority list to find the cure. We have used high-throughput virtual screening, standard precision docking, and extra precise docking for extensive screening of Drug Bank compounds, and the uniqueness of this study is that it considers multiple protein targets of prognosis and metastasis of LC. The docking and MM\GBSA calculation scores for the Tiaprofenic acid (DB01600) against all ten proteins range from -8.

Dear Editor, Photoallergic reactions are classic T-cell-mediated or delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions of the skin in response to a photoallergen (or a cross-reacting chemical) to which a subject was sensitized in the past (1). The immune system recognizes the changes caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation; it produces antibodies and causes inflammation of the skin in the exposed areas (2). Common photoallergic drugs and ingredients are included in some sunscreens, aftershave lotions, antimicrobials (especially sulfonamides), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diuretics, anticonvulsants, chemotherapy drugs, fragrances, and other hygiene products (1,3,4).

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the main causes of fixed drug eruption (FDE). Cross-sensitivity between chemically unrelated NSAIDs has been rarely described in FDE. We report herein two cases of NSAID-induced FDE confirmed by oral provocation test (OPT) with a literature review.

Computational quantum chemistry within the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) framework is used to investigate the photodegradation mechanism as well as the photochemical and photophysical properties of benoxaprofen (BP), a non steroid anti-inflammatory molecule (2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-benzoxazol-5-yl] propanoic acid). BP is a highly phototoxic agent that causes cutaneous phototoxicity shortly after its administration. On the grounds of concern about serious side effects, especially hepatotoxicity, it was withdrawn from the world market after only 2 years of its release.

Rheumatoid arthritis, arthrosis and gout, among other chronic inflammatory diseases are public health problems and represent major therapeutic challenges. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most prescribed clinical treatments, despite their severe side effects and their exclusive action in improving symptoms, without effectively promoting the cure. However, recent advances in the fields of pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and chemoinformatics have provided valuable information and opportunities for development of new anti-inflammatory drug candidates.
