aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. it is practically insoluble in water. the effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. the enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...

A topical preparation containing aceclofenac was developed using an o/w microemulsion system. Isopropyl myristate was chosen as the oil phase as it showed a good solubilising capacity. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were used to obtain the concentration ranges of the oil, surfactant (Labrasol) and co-surfactant (plurol oleique) for microemulsion formation. Five different formulations were formul...

Aceclofenac, 2-[2-[2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl]acetyl]oxyacetic acidis a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Simple, rapid, accurate, specific and highly sensitive UV spectroscopic methods were developed and validated for the estimation of Aceclofenac in bulk and phar...

The objective of the present work is extraction of pectin from waste of orange fruit peel and further characterization for useful alternative pharmaceutical excipient. The pectin was subjected to phytochemical and physicochemical characterization of its safety and suitability to use as binding and suspending agent. FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC studies were performed for drug, orange peel pectin powd...

To develop a simple and sensitive method for the simultaneous estimation of drotaverine HCL (DRH) and aceclofenac (AF) using RP-HPLC. The HPLC separation was achieved on a thermo column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5μ) with an isocratic mixture of acetonitrile and 5 mM of ammonium acetate in the ratio of 65:35, pH adjusted to 4.5 at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and the detection at 285nm. The method was vali...

Treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) diminishes inflammation along with mediators of cartilage destruction. However, NSAIDs may exert adverse direct effects on cartilage, particularly if treatment is prolonged. We therefore compared the direct effects of indomethacin, naproxen, aceclofenac and celecoxib on matrix turnover in human OA cartilage tiss...

Aim: The present research work was undertaken to study the patholomorphogical changes induced by repeated doses of aceclofenac. Materials and Methods: 100 BV-300 day old layer chicks were randomly divided into four equal groups and treated with aceclofenac at the dose rate of 0, 10, 20 and 30 ppm orally through feed for 21 consecutive days. Results: The abnormal behavioral clinical signs like d...
