Therapeutic insight 2009 - Nicox
A Better NSAID: NicOx
Naproxcinod is a derivative of naproxen with similar anti-inflammatory activity, but less
gastrointestinal side effects. It is the first of a new class of analgesic and antiinflammatory
drugs known as cyclo-oxygenase-(COX)-inhibiting nitric oxide donators
(CINODs).
• The improved gastrointestinal tolerability of naproxcinod appears to be due to its
release of nitric oxide (NO) and the consequent maintenance of tissue perfusion and
integrity. Data to date also suggests that naproxinod may also have a beneficial and
sustained impact on blood pressure.
• Naproxcinod is in Phase III clinical development in Europe, the US and Canada for the
treatment of osteoarthritis. NDA filing is projected for mid-2009.
