Preparation, Characterization and In Vitro  / In Vivo Evaluation of Oral Time-Controlled Release Etodolac Pellets.
The objective of this study was to prepare time-controlled release etodolac pellets to facilitate drug administration according to the body's biological rhythm, optimize the drug's desired effects, and minimize adverse effects. The preparation consisted of three laminal layers from center to outside: the core, the swelling layer, and the insoluble polymer membrane. Factors influenced the core and the coating films were investigated in this study. The core pellets formulated with etodolac, lactose, and sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS-Na) were prepared by extrusion-spheronization and then coated by a fluidized bed coater. C...

Development of an Enantioselective and Biomarker-Informed Translational Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Model for Etodolac
This study aimed to characterize the relationship between NSAID concentrations,in vitro COX-2 inhibition, and acute pain decrease in humans over time by a translational approach using clinical pharmacokinetic and literature reportedin vitro and clinical pharmacodynamic data. In a two-way cross-over study, eight healthy volunteers received 300 and 400  mg racemic etodolac, a preferential COX-2 inhibitor.R- andS-etodolac were determined by LC-MS/MS and simultaneously modeled. Literaturein vitro IC50 data for COX-2 inhibition byS-etodolac were used to fit adjusted pain score profiles from dental patients receiving etodolac. ...

Acute Liver Failure Due to Etodolac, a Selective Cycloxygenase- 2 (COX -2) Inhibitor Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Established by RUCAM-Based Causality Assessment.
Authors: Taneja S, Kumar P, Rathi S, Duseja A, Singh V, Dhiman RK, Chawla YK Abstract Drug induced liver injury is a common cause of acute liver failure (ALF). While most of these cases are due to dose dependent hepatotoxicity with acetaminophen, idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is responsible for about 15% cases of ALF. Antibiotics are the most common cause of idiosyncratic DILI as well as DILI induced ALF. Etodolac is a selective cycloxygenase- 2 (COX -2) inhibitor non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory in musculoskeletal diseases. Severe liver impai...

Chiral separation and modeling of baclofen, bupropion, and etodolac profens on amylose reversed phase chiral column.
Abstract Chiral resolution of baclofen, bupropion, and etodolac profens was obtained with amylose derivatized chiral reversed stationary phase (carbamate groups). The eluent used for bupropion and etodolac was MeOH-water (20:80, v/v) and for baclofen was water-methanol (95:5, v/v). The eluent run rates, finding wavelength and temperature, were 1.0 mL/min, 220 nm and 27 ± 1 °C for all the eluents. The magnitude of the retardation factors for S- and R-enantiomers of baclofen, bupropion, and etodolac were 1.37, 2.62, 2.25, 3.25, 1.8, and 3.0. The magnitudes of separation and resolution factors were 1.9...

Etodolac transdermal cubosomes for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: ex vivo permeation and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies.
In this study, transdermal etodolac-loaded cubosomes were developed in order to relieve patient pain and joints stiffness by providing stable etodolac concentration at the targeting sites through controlled drug delivery via the noninvasive skin route with more sustaining and less frequent dosing. Different ratios and percentages of poloxamer 407 and monoolein were used to formulate the cubosomes using emulsification and homogenization processes. The etodolac-loaded cubosomes showed particle size values ranging from 135.95 to 288.35 nm and zeta potential values ranging from -18.40 to -36.10 mV. All the cubosomes offere...

Treatment of chemical synthesis-based pharmaceutical wastewater in an ozonation-anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) system
In this study, treatability of etodolac chemical synthesis wastewater from the pharmaceutical industry was investigated in a hybrid ozonation-Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) system. The AnMBR was successfully operated up to 7500mg/L of chemical oxygen demand (COD), but sulfite inhibition occurred at this loading. A pre-ozonation process was applied to overcome the problem of sulfite inhibition resulted from raw wastewater by decreasing the sulfite concentration through oxidation to sulphate. Furthermore, it was shown that this process was also effective obtaining high etodolac removal efficiencies up to 99%. Approxim...

Fast dissolving drug-drug eutectics with improved compressibility and synergistic effects.
Abstract Combinational therapy has become increasingly popular in recent times due to various advantages like greater therapeutic effect, reduced number of prescriptions, lower administrative costs, and an increase in patient compliance. Drug-drug multicomponent adducts could help in combination of drugs at supramolecular level. Two drug-drug eutectics of etodolac with paracetamol (EP) and etodolac with propranolol hydrochloride (EPHC) were successfully designed and synthesized for the first time. These eutectics significantly improved dissolution and material properties. A 6 to 9 fold enhancement in % dis...

Coxibs Refocus Attention on the Cardiovascular Risks of Non-Aspirin NSAIDs
This article explains how coxibs refocused attention on the cardiovascular safety of NSAIDs and the general implications of that. COX-2 activity/specificity is one factor associated with increased cardiovascular risks; however, these risks cannot be attributed to coxibs alone. The traditional NSAIDs (i.e., meloxicam, etodolac, and nabumetone) have significant COX-2 specificity, but naproxen and ibuprofen have less specificity. All NSAIDs, whether traditional or a coxib, pose some cardiovascular risks. It is possible that clinicians continue to focus more on decreasing the immediate gastric risks than preventing the later c...

Taste-Masking Effect of Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) on Bitter Drugs Evaluated by Taste Sensor and Surface Plasmon Resonance on the Basis of CGA-Drug Interactions.
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the taste-masking effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on bitter drugs using taste sensor measurements and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis of CGA-drug interactions. Six different bitter drugs were used: amlodipine besylate (AMD), diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH), donepezil hydrochloride (DNP), rebamipide (RBM), diclofenac sodium (DCF) and etodolac (ETD). Taste sensor outputs were significantly inhibited by the addition of CGA to all drugs. The inhibition ratio of the taste sensor output decreased in the following order DPH>DNP>AMD≈DCF≈RB...

The Role of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Amniotic Membrane Rupture.
CONCLUSION: This work demonstrated that amniotic cell EMT was associated with labor, and that EMT decreased the tensile strength of the amnion. These findings suggest a role for EMT in the pathophysiology of PPROM and may provide a basis for development of therapies to prevent preterm labor.
