Biochem/Physiol
Actions | Glafenine is a carboxylic ester that is 2,3-dihydroxypropyl anthranilate in which the amino group is substituted by a 7 chloroquinolin-4-yl group. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, glafenine and its hydrochloride salt were used for the relief of all types of pain, but high incidence of anaphylactic reactions resulted in their withdrawal from the market. It has a role as a non-narcotic analgesic, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and an inhibitor. It is an organochlorine compound, a secondary amino compound, a glycol, a carboxylic ester and an aminoquinoline. It derives from a glycerol and an anthranilic acid. |
