Nimesulide solubility

Nimesulide NSAID’s tablet is an efficient and safe therapeutic selection for the treatment of assorted painful inflammatory conditions like inflammation, sore throat, stomatitis, arthritis, degenerative joint disease, low back pain etc., with a speedy onset of analgesic activity.

The quick dissolving tablets of Nimesulide contains superdisintegrants, that accelerates the disintegration of tablets by virtue of their ability to soak up great deal of water once exposed to binary compound surroundings.

Nimesulide is soluble in organic solvents like alcohol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide  (DMF).

Nimesulide is a unique non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that acts specifically on cyclo-oxygenase-2 and does not affect cyclo-oxygenase-1. Hence, it exerts its anti-inflammatory action characteristics of non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. 

Solubility of Nimesulide Increased on solubilization of drug in semi-polar solvents and non-ionic surfactants.
Solubility of Nimesulide was studied using different cosolvent mixtures and various classes of non-ionic surfactant. Solubility increased drastically (>70 mg/rnl) when polyethylene glycol 300 and polyethylene glycol 400 were used as solvents.
