Triflusal is a 2-acetoxy-4-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid and it is an aspirin chemically-related molecule but not a derivative. The benefits of this agent are the lack of action over the arachidonic acid pathway, the driven production of nitric oxide and the increase of cyclic nucleotide concentration on endothelial cells. The latest translates into the expansion of peripheral blood vessels. It is very important as a secondary prevention of ischemic stroke by offering a lower risk of bleeding. It was developed by J. Uriach and Company and even though it is commercialized in different countries it is not approved by the FDA, EMA or HealthCanada.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Triflusal is indicated as prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders. It has been registered in Spain and in other countries of Europe, South America and South Korea for the prevention of Stroke and myocardial infarction.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Triflusal is an antithrombotic anticoagulant. It irreversibly inhibits the production of thromboxane-B2 in platelets by acetylating cycloxygenase-1. Triflusal affects many other targets such as NF kappa B, which is a gene expression regulatory factor for cycloxygenase-a and cytokines. Numerous studies comparing the efficacy and safety profile (i.e. systemic hemorrhage) between triflusal and acetylsalsylic acid has shown either no significant difference or a better effacy and safety profile for triflusal. Triflusal has been shown to protect cerebral tissue due to its inhibition of lipid peroxidation resulting from anoxia-reoxygenation.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors

Drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system. (See all compounds classified as Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors.)


5.3 ATC Code

B - Blood and blood forming organs

B01 - Antithrombotic agents

B01A - Antithrombotic agents

B01AC - Platelet aggregation inhibitors excl. heparin

B01AC18 - Triflusal


5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Absorbed in the small intestine with a bioavailability range from 83% to 100%. There is no significant difference between the absorption of the oral solution and capsule formulation. Triflusal displays a Cmax of 11.6 mcg/ml and a tmax of 0.88 h. The major metabolite of triflusal presents different pharmacokinetic properties by showing a Cmax and tmax of 92.7 mcg/ml and 4.96 h, respectively.


Route of Elimination

The elimination pathway of triflusal is primarily renal. Urine analysis has shown the presence of unchanged triflusal, HTB and the glycine conjugate of HTB.


Volume of Distribution

The reported volume of distribution for triflusal is of 34L.


Clearance

Renal clearance is 0.8 +/- 0.2L/h and 0.18 +/1 0.04L/h for triflusal and HTB, respectively.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

In the liver, triflusal undergoes deacetylation, forming its main metabolite 2-OH-4-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid (HTB). This major metabolite seems to have marked antiplatelet properties in vitro.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

In the healthy human, the half-life is 0.5 +/- 0.1h, while that of HTB is 34.3 +/- 5.3h.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Triflusal is chemically related to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and irreversibly inhibits cycloxygenase-1 (COX-1) in platelets. Acetylation of the active group of COX-1 prevents the formation of thromboxane-B2 in platelets. However, it is unique because it spares the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway in endothelial cells. In addition, it favors the production of nitric oxide, a vasodilator.
