Phenylbutazone became available for use in humans for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and gout in 1949. However, it is no longer approved, and thus not marketed, for any human use in the United States. This is because some patients treated with phenylbutazone have experienced severe toxic reactions, and other effective, less toxic drugs are available to treat the same conditions Phenylbutazone is known to induce blood dyscrasias, including aplastic anemia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia and deaths. Hypersensitivity reactions of the serum-sickness type have also been reported. In addition, phenylbutazone is a carcinogen, as determined by the National Toxicology Program.

Stop medication at the first sign of gastrointestinal upset, jaundice, or blood dyscrasia. Authenticated cases of agranulocytosis associated with the drug have occurred in man. To guard against this possibility, conduct routine blood counts at weekly intervals of two weeks thereafter. Any significant fall in the total white count, relative decrease in granulocytes, or black or tarry stools, should be regarded as a signal for immediate cessation of therapy and institution of appropriate counter measures. In the treatment of inflammatory conditions associated with infections, specific anti-infective therapy is required.

The use of phenylbutazone in patients receiving thrombolytic therapy or long-term anticoagulant therapy, therefore, constitutes a serious risk and should be avoided.

Any substantial change in total leukocyte count, relative decrease in granulocytes, appearance of immature blood cells, or a fall in hematocrit or platelet count are indications for immediate discontinuation of phenylbutazone and a complete hematologic evaluation. Hematologic toxicity may occur shortly after initiation of therapy or after prolonged treatment, it may develop abruptly or gradually, and it may become apparent days or weeks following discontinuance of the drug.

For the treatment of backache and ankylosing spondylitis
Phenylbutazone is a synthetic, pyrazolone derivative. It is a nonhormonal anti-inflammatory, antipyretic compound useful in the management of inflammatory conditions. The apparent analgesic effect is probably related mainly to the compound's anti-inflammatory properties and arise from its ability to reduce production of prostaglandin H and prostacyclin. Prostaglandins act on a variety of cells such as vascular smooth muscle cells causing constriction or dilation, on platelets causing aggregation or disaggregation and on spinal neurons causing pain. Prostacylcin causes vascular constriction platelet disaggregation
Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are 95% bound to plasma protein, especially albumin. With extensive protein binding, there is a small volume of distribution (0.10-0.17 L/kg). The pKa for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ranges from 3.5 to 5.2.

Phenylbutazone appears to be rapidly and completely absorbed from the Gl tract. Following oral administration of a single 300 mg dose of phenylbutazone to healthy fasting men, peak plasma phenylbutazone concentrations averaging 43.3 ug/mL are reached within 2.5 hours.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 1999. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Inc. 1999 (Plus Supplements)., p. 1760
It is recommended that many drugs be taken with or after meals. Recently, however, food intake has been shown to alter significantly the rate and/or extent of absorption of many drugs. Such alterations may induce important changes in the clinical activity of these drugs. Enteric-coated phenylbutazone is recommended to be taken with food to minimize possible gastro-intestinal side-effects. The results of this study demonstrate that while food delays the onset of absorption from this formulation by 4-5 hr, it has no significant effect on the peak concentration or area under the curve. Thus, some effect on fluctuation in plasma levels at steady-state would be expected, but the mean concentration over the recommended dosage interval would remain the same. Treatment efficacy should therefore be unaffected by food but the tolerability may be improved.
PMID:7174832 John VA, Monk JP; J Clin Hosp Pharm 7 (3): 175-9 (1982)
Phenylbutazone is almost completely absorbed after oral administration. A large fraction of the drug in plasma is bound to proteins, and the drug has a small volume of distribution. Phenylbutazone is eliminated by metabolism, only 1% being excreted unchanged in the urine. Approximately 10% of a single dose of phenylbutazone is excreted in bile as metabolites. About 60% of the urinary metabolites have been identified. A novel type of drug metabolite in man, the C-glucuronide, is formed by direct coupling of the pyrazolidine ring of phenylbutazone to glucuronic acid via a C-C bond. Phenylbutazone is oxidised in a phenyl ring or in the side chain to hydroxylated metabolites, which may undergo subsequent O-glucuronidation. After a single dose, C-glucuronidation seems to be the dominant reaction, while oxidation becomes increasingly important after repeated administration. Due to different pharmacokinetic properties of the metabolites, the C-glucuronides are detected in highest concentrations in the urine, while the pharmacologically active compounds oxyphenbutazone and gamma-hydroxyphenbutazone predominate in plasma. The biological (elimination) half-life of phenylbutazone in man is long, with a mean of about 70 hours, and exhibits large interindividual and intraindividual variation. The interindividual variation is largely due to genetic factors.

Phenylbutazone is metabolized in the liver. Phenylbutazone is oxidized to oxyphenbutazone, gamma-hydroxyphenylbutazone, beta-hydroxyphenylbutazone, gamma-ketophenylbutazone, and p,gamma-dihydroxyphenylbutazone. Glucuronide conjugates of phenylbutazone and its metabolites are also formed. In a multiple-dose study in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, plasma concentrations of total oxyphenbutazone decreased with increasing phenylbutazone dose, suggesting that increased chronic doses of phenylbutazone might stimulate elimination of oxyphenbutazone or inhibit oxyphenbutazone formation. Plasma concentrations of gamma-hydroxyphenylbutazone increased proportionally with phenylbutazone dose and showed large interindividual variations.

Major metabolites that have been identified include oxyphenbutazone (ring hydroxylation), Y-hydroxyphenylbutazone (side-chain hydroxylation) Y-hydroxyoxyphenbutazone (dihydroxy metabolite), and 4-hydroxyphenylbutazone. In rats and horses, Y-hydroxyphenylbutazone represents a major (approximately 35%) metabolite and exists in two interchangeable forms; the lactone and the straight-chain forms. The production of the lactone form of Y-phenylbutazone requires cleavage of one of the amide bonds. The formation of this lactone isomer has been shown to be an insignificant reaction in humans. Additional, but apparently minor, products of phenylbutazone oxidation include B-hydroxy- and Y-keto-derivatives of the parent compound.

Phenylbutazone exists in solution in three forms--a diketo, an enol, and a mesomeric anion form. In solution, it exists primarily in the diketo form, and conversion between the forms is slow. These transformations probably contribute to its chemical instability and the ability of the cyclooxygenase system to generate the 4-hydroxphenylbutazone metabolite by a peroxide-dependent cooxygenation reaction.

In addition to the primary metabolites, glucuronide/sulfate conjugates of these primary metabolites have been detected in varying proportions. No glucuronide metabolites have been reported in horses; in rats, approximately 35%-40% of the metabolites are excreted in the urine as conjugated metabolites; in humans, conjugates represent about 50% of urinary metabolites.

... A novel type of drug metabolite in man, the C-glucuronide, is formed by direct coupling of the pyrazolidine ring of phenylbutazone to glucuronic acid via a C-C bond. Phenylbutazone is oxidised in a phenyl ring or in the side chain to hydroxylated metabolites, which may undergo subsequent O-glucuronidation. After a single dose, C-glucuronidation seems to be the dominant reaction, while oxidation becomes increasingly important after repeated administration. Due to different pharmacokinetic properties of the metabolites, the C-glucuronides are detected in highest concentrations in the urine, while the pharmacologically active compounds oxyphenbutazone and gamma-hydroxyphenbutazone predominate in plasma. ...

The plasma half-lives of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone (a metabolite) have been reported to be 50-100 hours with large interindividual and intraindividual variations. The plasma half-life of phenylbutazone has been reported to be shorter in children than in adults and in one study was reported to be about 40 hours in children 1-7 years of age. It was suggested that this may result from enhanced cytochrome p450 enzyme activity in children or a greater liver to body weight ratio in children than in adults. Plasma half-lives of phenylbutazone may be somewhat longer in geriatric patients than in younger adults. Age related biologic and physiologic changes (eg, decreased liver and renal function, decreased serum albumin concentration) may be responsible for altered elimination of the drug in geriatric patients. In patients with severely impaired liver function, plasma phenylbutazone half-lives up to 149 hours have been reported.

After administration of a single dose to humans, the plasma concentration of unaltered drug is characterized by an early maximum of 36 ug/mL at 3 hours and by slow decay between 7 and 336 hours, corresponding to an elimination half-life of 88 hours.

Phenylbutazone binds to and inactivates prostaglandin H synthase and prostacyclin synthase through peroxide (H2O2) mediated deactivation. The reduced production of prostaglandin leads to reduced inflammation of the surrounding tissues.
The drug exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, and mild uricosuric activity. The exact mechanisms have not been clearly established, but many of the actions appear to be associated principally with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Many nonsteriodal anti- inflammatory agents inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins in body tissues by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of prostaglandin precursors (endoperoxides) from arachidonic acid.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs probably act by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins prostaglandins are believed to cause vasodilaton, increased vascular permeability, and increased sensitivity of nerve endings to other inflammatory mediators. By reversibly inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs block the conversion of the arachidonic acid found in cell membrane phospholipids into varius prostaglandins (E2,F2,D2, thromboxane A2). Since prostaglandins appear to maintain the gastric mucosal barrier nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibition of prostaglandins synthesis may be the cause of the gastritis, peptic ulcerations, and gastrointestinal bleeding observed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs cause sodium retention, especially in patients with underlying sodium-retaining states such as congestive heart failure. Although the mechanism is not entirely clear, the inhibition of prostaglandins synthesis plays a leading role. These compounds redistribute renal blood flow away from the superficial cortical glomeruli to the juxtamedullary glomeruli, which have a greater capacity to absorb sodium. Stress intensifies the effect of prostaglandins. /Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs/
