Toxicity Summary
The precise mechanism of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions of diflunisal is not known. Diflunisal is a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor. In animals, prostaglandins sensitize afferent nerves and potentiate the action of bradykinin in inducing pain. Since prostaglandins are known to be among the mediators of pain and inflammation, the mode of action of diflunisal may be due to a decrease of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues.

Hepatotoxicity
Diflunisal therapy is reported to be associated with a low rate of asymptomatic and transient serum aminotransferase elevations, which may resolve even with drug continuation. Marked aminotransferase elevations (>3 fold elevated) occur rarely. Clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice from diflunisal is uncommon; only case reports have been published. The clinical and histologic features of diflunisal hepatotoxicity, however, are distinct and resemble an immunoallergic hepatitis, which is quite different from the liver injury that occurs with aspirin or other salicylates (Case 1). The latency to onset ranges from 1 to 4 weeks and the pattern of enzyme elevations is typically cholestatic, but can also be mixed. Most patients have immunoallergic manifestations such as rash, fever and arthralgias; eosinophilia or atypical lymphocytosis are also common. A history of aspirin allergy has not been reported among cases with allergic reactions to diflunisal. Diflunisal is not a commonly used drug and is not mentioned in large case series on drug induced liver injury or acute liver failure.
Likelihood score: C (probable cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
The small amounts of diflunisal in milk do not appear to pose a serious risk to breastfeeding infants. However, a shorter-acting agent having more published information may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.

Diflunisal can cause developmental toxicity and female reproductive toxicity according to state or federal government labeling requirements.
Diflunisal is an organofluorine compound comprising salicylic acid having a 2,4-difluorophenyl group at the 5-position. It has a role as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a non-narcotic analgesic. It is an organofluorine compound and a monohydroxybenzoic acid. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid and a 1,3-difluorobenzene.
Diflunisal, a salicylate derivative, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIA) with pharmacologic actions similar to other prototypical NSAIAs. Diflunisal possesses anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity. Though its mechanism of action has not been clearly established, most of its actions appear to be associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis via the arachidonic acid pathway. Diflunisal is used to relieve pain accompanied with inflammation and in the symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Diflunisal is a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug. The mechanism of action of diflunisal is as a Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor.
Diflunisal is a salicylic acid derivative that is used in the therapy of chronic arthritis and mild to moderate acute pain. Diflunisal has been linked mild, transient elevations in serum aminotransferase levels during therapy as well as to rare instances of idiosyncratic drug induced liver disease.
Diflunisal is a difluorophenyl derivate of salicylic acid and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Diflunisal competitively inhibits both cyclooxygenase (COX) -1 and -2, with higher affinity for COX-1, and subsequently blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin precursors. This leads to an inhibition of the formation of prostaglandins that are involved in pain, inflammation and fever. Diflunisal differs from other salicylates, in that it is not metabolized to salicylic acid, hence it has a longer half-life.

Pharmacodynamics
Diflunisal is a nonsteroidal drug with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. It is a peripherally-acting non-narcotic analgesic drug. Habituation, tolerance and addiction have not been reported. Diflunisal is a difluorophenyl derivative of salicylic acid. Chemically, diflunisal differs from aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) in two respects. The first of these two is the presence of a difluorophenyl substituent at carbon 1. The second difference is the removal of the 0-acetyl group from the carbon 4 position. Diflunisal is not metabolized to salicylic acid, and the fluorine atoms are not displaced from the difluorophenyl ring structure.
