Abstract
Nitroflurbiprofen (NFP) causes significantly less gastric lesions than flurbiprofen (FP), probably because of its capacity to release nitric oxide (NO) in the stomach. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which induces the expression of an inducible type of NO synthase (iNOS) in rat stomach, also reduces gastric mucosal damage elicited by FP. Furthermore, both FP and NFP decrease significantly the amount of mRNA encoding iNOS induced by LPS in the stomach. The inhibitory effect of NFP seems to be due at least in part to its ability to release NO.Entities:
