_Surgam DS MKT _ _ _ _#81238v1.0 Page _ _1 _ _ _ DATA SHEET SURGAM ® NAME OF MEDICINE NON-PROPRIETARY NAME Tiaprofenic acid DESCRIPTION SURGAM is tiaprofenic acid which is the INN for 2-(5 benzoyl-2-thienyl) propionic acid. It is a white, or practically white, microcrystalline powder. The molecular weight is 260.3 and the MP about 97oC. Tiaprofenic acid is sparingly soluble in water and dilute HCl (<0.5%), but soluble in alcohol, acetone and other organic solvents. PHARMACOLOGY CLASS Tiaprofenic acid is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic compound, developed by Roussel Uclaf, and belongs to the propionic acid class. SITE AND MODE OF ACTION Tiaprofenic acid displays analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic activity. Classical pharmacological studies in animals both in vitro and in vivo have shown that tiaprofenic acid inhibits the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, and is a non-selective antagonist of bradykinin, prostaglandin E2, serotonin, histamine and acetyl-choline. Further animal experiments have shown that these actions produce analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. Tiaprofenic acid exhibits its anti-inflammatory effect even on adrenalectomised animals, indicating that its action is not mediated through the pituitary adrenal axis. Results of most in vitro studies in animal models, using articular cartilage explants and chondrocyte cultures, indicate that tiaprofenic acid does not depress biosynthesis of proteoglycans. In vitro studies with animal and human tissue provide evidence of inhibition of proteoglycan degradation by tiaprofenic acid. These results suggest that a positive effect on the joint cartilage may be expected, but in vivo effects and the clinical significance of the findings are yet to be clarified.
