Analogues of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) oxicams, in which the active group was linked to a quaternary ammonium function [(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-1, 1-dioxide-3-carboxamido)2-methylpyridinium iodide or piroxicam-N(+) and [3-(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-1, 1-dioxide-3-carboxamido)propyl]trimethylammonium iodide or propoxicam-N(+)] were synthesized. Compounds were labeled with tritium for piroxicam-N(+) and carbon-14 for propoxicam-N(+). Pharmacokinetic studies conducted on rats showed that these molecules were able to highly concentrate in joint cartilages but their bioavailability by the oral way was low. Only propoxicam-N(+) exhibited a sufficient water solubility to be administered intravenously. This molecule was able to restore proteoglycans biosynthesis in cultured articular chondrocytes treated with Interleukin-1beta with an efficiency identical to that of indomethacin. These results suggest that the functionalization of oxicam derivatives by a quaternary ammonium group greatly increases their affinity toward articular cartilage without eliminating their pharmacological activity. New drugs synthesized according to this scheme could be useful to obtain a significant decrease of the efficient administered dose and consequently an attenuation of adverse effects such as digestive toxicity.
