Metabolite Identification
Common NameNiflumic Acid
DescriptionNiflumic Acid, also known as NFA or niflugel, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as trifluoromethylbenzenes. These are organofluorine compounds that contain a benzene ring substituted with one or more trifluoromethyl groups. It is categorized as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2. Niflumic Acid is a drug which is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In experimental biology, it has been employed to inhibit chloride channels. Niflumic Acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Niflumic acid is a drug used for joint and muscular pain. It has also been reported to act on GABA-A and NMDA channels and to block T-type calcium channels.
