Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a COX-2 inhibitor.{41197} It binds to COX-2 (Kd = 4 nM) and inhibits COX-2-dependent oxygenation of arachidonic acid (Item Nos. 90010 | 90010.1 | 10006607) in vitro (Ki = 10 µM). Mefenamic acid (30 mg/kg) reduces acetic acid-induced writhing in rats.{41198} It inhibits increases in skin thickness in a mouse model of delayed-type hypersensitivity induced by dinitrochlorobenzene (DNBC).{41198} Mefenamic acid also reduces the antibody response to sheep red blood cells in mice.
