Description: Firocoxib (formerly ML-1785713; ML1785713) is a novel, potent and selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.13 uM) with 58-fold sensitivity for COX2 over COX1.

ProtocolIn VitroThe selectivity ratio for Firocoxib based on the IC80 values is 121 (IC80 of 0.36 μM and 43.6 μM for COX-2 and COX-1, respectively), indicating that selectivity for COX-2 is not reduced at concentrations higher than the IC50. Notably, Firocoxib concentrations that yield 80% to 95% inhibition of COX-2 produce < 20% inhibition of COX-1. The COX-1:COX-2 selectivity ratios generally are established by comparing the IC50 for COX-1 to the IC50 for COX-2. The IC80 value more closely resembles the steady-state plasma drug concentration than does the IC50 value.
In VivoPharmacokinetic properties of Firocoxib are determined after i.v. (2 mg/kg) and oral (3 mg/kg) administration in male cats. Firocoxib has moderate to high oral bioavailability (54% to 70%), low plasma clearance (4.7 to 5.8 mL/min/kg), and an elimination half-life of 8.7 to 12.2 hours. Firocoxib (0.75-1.5mg/kg; oral gavage; female domestic shorthair cats) treatment efficacious in attenuating fever when administered to cats 1 or 14 hours before LPS challenge.
