Product Description
Mechanism of action
Aminopyrin inhibits COX enzymes to reduce prostaglandin production, mediating analgesic and antipyretic effects. More importantly, its metabolism to reactive intermediates such as 4‑aminoantipyrine accounts for its historical toxicity and relevance in pharmacokinetic probe studies.
Benefits and advantages
Still used in the aminopyrine breath test to measure hepatic demethylation capacity and microsomal oxidative function. Highly valuable in hepatology research.
Side effects and risks
Agranulocytosis, hepatic necrosis, hypersensitivity, shock-like reactions. Requires strict PPE and dedicated ventilation.
