Description

Sodium 2-fluoro-alpha-methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-acetate is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in inflammatory reactions. It has shown to be an effective treatment for the reduction of pain and inflammation associated with certain diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. The drug also binds to DNA and blocks its ability to form supercoiled strands. This binding prevents transcription of genetic information from DNA into RNA, which is needed for protein production. Sodium 2-fluoro-alpha-methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-acetate has been shown to inhibit bcl2 protein expression and may increase the risk of developing cancer. The drug can cause adverse effects such as headache and stomach upset when taken at high doses.
