COXANTO vs Ibuprofen
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Selective inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), increasing levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic effects.
Non-selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis, leading to anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects.
1 g intravenous every 6 hours.
200-800 mg orally every 6-8 hours; maximum 3200 mg/day.

Terminal elimination half-life is 2-4 hours; no accumulation with repeated dosing in normal renal function.
Renal: 70% unchanged; biliary/fecal: 20% as metabolites; 10% other
Renal excretion of conjugated metabolites (about 90% as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, <10% as unchanged drug); minor biliary/fecal elimination (<5%).
