the Pharmacological

Pharmacokinetics Dosage Form properties – ointment allows fast penetration of active agent through skin and fast achievement of local therapeutic concentration in the subject soft tissues, joints and synovial fluid.
At system use of indometacin:
Absorption
of Rezorbiruyetsya substantially from digestive tract. The maximum plasma concentration is reached in 1-2 hours after reception.
Distribution
Is distributed in all fabrics and bodies. Also the blood-brain barrier gets through placentary. Gets through a synovial membrane into joints, and its concentration in synovial fluid is higher, than in plasma. Contacts plasma proteins in 90-98% and has ability to force out other medicines from communication with proteins and to enhance their therapeutic effect at simultaneous use.
Metabolism
Is metabolized generally in a liver by oxidation and conjugation.
Removal
Elimination half-life of indometacin varies from 2.6 to 11.2 h or it averages 5.8 hours. It is allocated through kidneys in 60-75% (10-20% from them in not changed look), and other quantity is distinguished with bile and a stake. It is allocated with breast milk, though in insignificant quantities.
The pharmacodynamics
Ointment of indometacin has anti-inflammatory and analgeziruyushchy effect.
The mechanism of action is connected with inhibition of activity of cyclooxygenase I and II of types. Indometacin inhibits TsOG-I in comparison with TsOG-II an enzyme isoform stronger (the index of selectivity TsOG-I: TsOG-II = 22.3 - 33.0). Disturbance of activity of TsOG-I provides the best elimination of a sharp pain syndrome whereas blockade of TsOG-II is related to perception of chronic pain. As a result of blockade of COG, reactions of an arachidonic cascade of synthesis of eicosanoids and formation of prostaglandins PgE2, PgF2a, TxA2 thromboxane, PgI2 prostacyclin are broken. In bólshey degrees, than when using other means, synthesis of PgF2a is broken. Suppresses activation of NF-kB – a factor of a transcription of genes which is necessary for synthesis of a number of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1,6,8, TNF-a) and molecules of cellular adhesion (ICAM-1, VCAM-1). For lack of synthesis of these cytokines the activity of chronic inflammatory process is suppressed. Indometacin contacts NO-SYNTHASE and breaks products NOB result in a cell NO - dependent synthesis of the new molecules TsOG-II and products of prostaglandins decreases.
In rheumatic diseases has anti-inflammatory and analgeziruyushchy effect. Weakens a rest pain and at the movement, reduces morning constraint and a swelling of joints, improves their function. Is one of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with the most severe anti-inflammatory action. By efficiency of anti-inflammatory action exceeds acetylsalicylic acid.
The Analgeziruyushchy effect develops in 30-60 min. after applique of ointment and remains within 6-9 hours, the maximum action is noted 2-3 hours later after applique. The Analgeziruyushchy effect of indometacin is shown irrespective of its anti-inflammatory action and is connected only with the pain caused by damage of fabric or inflammatory process.
