Description

Meclofenamic Acid CAS NO 644-62-2 is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the fenamate class. It serves as a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a valuable reference standard in analytical and research settings. This compound is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in the formulation of anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications.
• Biochemical Research: Widely used as a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor to study inflammatory pathways and prostaglandin biosynthesis.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and analytical method development in laboratories.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in formulations for managing pain and inflammation in animals.
• Academic & Clinical Studies: Utilized in preclinical and clinical research to investigate new therapeutic applications and mechanisms of action.
