PHARMACOLOGICAL/THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Anti-inflammatory, analgesic agent
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
SURGAM (tiaprofenic acid), a propionic acid derivative, is a
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its mechanism of
action, as with other
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, is not yet completely known.
Tiaprofenic acid is an
inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase enzymes which are known to be
associated with
inflammation and pain. The therapeutic effect of SURGAM does not
result from pituitary-
adrenal stimulation.
In vitro and ex vivo studies in different experimental models with
cartilage and cultures of human
chondrocytes obtained from biopsy specimens have shown that exposure
to tiaprofenic acid did
not depress the biosynthesis of proteoglycans nor alter the
differentiation of proteoglycans
secreted. The degradation of proteoglycan aggregates was inhibited. In
vivo data in
osteoarthritis patients showed a significant reduction in stromelysin
(proteoglycanase) activity
further to pre-treatment with tiaprofenic acid. These results support
tiaprofenic acid as an
effective inhibitor of stromelysin and also suggest a positive effect
on the joint cartilage under
experimental conditions in patients receiving therapeutic doses. The
clinical significance of
these findings is under further investigation.
Pharmacokinetics
SURGAM (tiaprofenic acid) given orally is rapidly absorbed at the
gastric and duodenal levels.
Peak serum levels are achieved in 30-90 minutes. It is extensively
