Effect of fenamates on prostaglandin E receptor binding.
The effect of fenamates on prostaglandin E receptor binding was examined in myometrial samples collected at hysterectomy. Sodium meclofenamate and mefenamic acid inhibited binding of PGE2 to its specific receptor in a dose-dependent manner, with an ED50 of 20 mumol/l and 200 mumol/l, respectively.
