Meloxicam

A summary of the most common chemical descriptors (InChI Key and SMILES codes) for Meloxicam are summarized together with 3D and 2D structures and relevant physico-chemical properties.

What is the Meloxicam?

The molecule Meloxicam presents a molecular formula of C14H13N3O4S2 and its IUPAC name is 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(5-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1,1-dioxo-1lambda6,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide.

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the oxicam class that is used for the treatment of pain, inflammation, and fever. It is marketed under the brand names Mobic in the United States and Europe, and Movalis in Europe. Meloxicam exists as a generic medication..

The mechanism of action of meloxicam is not entirely understood. It is thought to work by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, molecules that are involved in pain and inflammation..

Meloxicam is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal in nature, and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Meloxicam can also cause dizziness and headache..

Rare but serious side effects of meloxicam include kidney failure, liver failure, and bleeding. Meloxicam should be used with caution in people with kidney or liver impairment, and in people with a history of ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding..

Meloxicam is a relatively new NSAID, and its long-term safety profile is not yet known. However, it appears to be similar to other NSAIDs in terms of its potential side effects..

Other names (synonyms)

IUPAC nomenclature provides a standardized method for naming chemical compounds. Although this system is widely used in chemistry, many chemical compounds have also other names commonly used in different contexts. These synonyms can come from a variety of sources and are used for a variety of purposes.

One common source of synonyms for chemical compounds is the common or trivial names, assigned on the basis of appearance, properties, or origin of the molecule.

Another source of synonyms are historical or obsolete names employed in the past, however replaced nowadays by more modern or standardized names.

In addition to common and historical names, chemical compounds may also have synonyms that are specific to a particular field or industry.

LogP and topological polar surface area (TPSA) values were estimated using Open Babel software.

The n-octanol/water partition coeficient (Kow) data is applied in toxicology and drug research. Kow values are used, to guess the environmental fate of persistent organic pollutants. High partition coefficients values, tend to accumulate in the fatty tissue of organisms. Molecules with a log(Kow) (or LogP) greater than 5 are considered to bioaccumulate.

TPSA values are the sum of the surface area over all polar atoms or molecules, mainly oxygen and nitrogen, also including hydrogen atoms.

In medicinal chemistry, TPSA is used to assess the ability of a drug to permeabilise cells.

For molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (and act on receptors in the central nervous system), TPSA values below 90 Å2 are required. Thus, molecules with a polar surface area greater than 140 Å2 tend to be poorly permeable to cell membranes.
