title: Antioxidative properties of phenazone derivatives: differentiation between phenylbutazon and mofebutazon.
abstract: Both phenylbutazon and mofebutazon inhibit oxidative fragmentation of the methionine derivative, 2-keto-4-methylthio-butyric acid (KMB) by xanthine oxidase--or diaphorase mediated OH radical production. Differentiation of the two non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs is possible by means of determining oxygen reduction by xanthine oxidase or diaphorase in the presence of the naphthoquinone, juglone, where only mofebutazon shows an inhibitory effect.
