[Influence of antirheumatic phenylacetic acid derivatives on glycosaminoglycan metabolism of fibroblast culture (author's transl)].
Murine embryonic fibroblast monolayer cultures were used to study the influence of the antirheumatic phenylacetic acid derivatives ibufanac, ibuprofen, alclofenac and bufexamac and of phenylbutazone as a reference compound on glycosaminoglycan (GAG) metabolism viability and multiplication of cells cultured in vitro. The phenylacetic acid derivatives as well as phenylbutazone showed in concentrations between 10(-3) and 10(-5) M a significant inhibitory effect on GAG production and in concentrations between 10(-3) and 3.3 X 10(-4) M a cytostatic effect; bufexamac was cytostatically active up to the concentration of 10(-5) M. Ibufenac, ibuprofen and alclofenac exhibited a similar behaviour as other non-steroidal antirheumatic drugs regarding their influence of GAG metabolism and on cell multiplication.
