About NimesulideCOX-2 selective NSAID, Analgesic,antipyretic.Mechanism of Action of NimesulideThis Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug reduces prostaglandin synthesis by the inhibition of cyclo oxygenase enzyme2 selectively. This is a weaker inhibition .So it produces weaker analgesic property. Its potent anti-inflammatory activity is due to its action on various stages of inflammation. This leads to the inhibition of super oxide anion formation invitro by activated neutrophil, inhibition of histamine release from tissue mast cells and basophiles. Additionally it also prevents platelet activating factor synthesis and metalloproteinase synthesis thus prevents the breakdown of osteoarthritic human cartilage. It also prevent tumor necrosis factor alpha and thus reduce the formation of cytokines. This drug can activate glucocorticoid receptors in the body.Pharmacokinets of NimesulideAbsorption-Completely absorbed after oral administration.
Distribution-Widely distributed in the body and extensively bind to the plasma proteins i.e.99%.
Metabolism-It is metabolized in liver to its metabolites.4-hydroxyl derivative is its one active metabolite.
Excretion - Excreted via urine and bile.

Serratiopeptidase
About SerratiopeptidaseA proteolytic enzyme, A powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-edemic.Mechanism of Action of SerratiopeptidaseThis anti-inflammatory proteolytic enzyme bind to the alpha-2-macroglobulin in the blood, which helps to mask its antigenicity.Then it is slowly transferred to the site of inflammation. Serratiopeptidase hydrolyze bradykinin, histamine, serotoxin responsible for oedema.It reduces swelling improves microcirculation and expectoration of sputum. Due to this action Serratiopeptidase has anti-inflammatory, antioedemic and fibrinolytic activity and act rapidly on localized inflammation.Pharmacokinets of SerratiopeptidaseOrally absorbed.
