Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to examine whether or not ketoprofen enters the cerebrospinal fluid after a single oral dose of 1 mg.kg-1 syrup, and to find out what is the lowest plasma concentration that will achieve a measurable level in the cerebrospinal fluid. METHODS We measured ketoprofen concentrations both in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of 10 young and healthy children (aged 9-86 months) after surgery with spinal anaesthesia. Samples of cerebrospinal fluid were collected 30 min after drug administration, at the same time as venous blood samples. A validated high-performance liquid chromatography method with a lower limit of 0.02 microg x ml(-1) was used to detect ketoprofen concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma. RESULTS Ketoprofen was detectable in the cerebrospinal fluid only in the child who had the highest plasma concentration, 7.4 microg x ml(-1), while at plasma concentrations 6.5 microg x ml(-1) or less, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations remained unmeasurable. The detected CSF/plasma ratio was 0.008. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that ketoprofen at a dose of 1 mg x kg(-1) is too low to produce measurable CSF levels within 30 min of oral administration.

Abstract
The chiral inversion of ketoprofen has been previously demonstrated in cattle, but no studies have been performed on different ages and metabolic situations in the animals. The aim of this work was to study any modifications of the stereoconversion of ketoprofen that occur by reason of age, lactation or gestation in dairy cows. Holando Argentino cattle were divided into three groups: 8 cows in early lactation, 8 pregnant cows and 8 newborn calves. Four animals from each group received the enantiomer R-(-)-ketoprofen by intravenous administration; the other four animals received the S-(+) enantiomer, all at doses of 0.5 mg/kg. Blood samples were collected at standardized times after dosing and assayed for ketoprofen by high-performance reversed-phase liquid chromatography (HPLC). The percentage inversion of R-(-)-ketoprofen to S-(+)-ketoprofen was 50.5% (SD +/- 2.4) in the preruminants, 33.3% (SD +/- 1.7) in cows in early lactation and 26.0% (SD +/- 5.1) in cows in gestation. These results indicate a differing enantioselective metabolic behaviour for one compound in one species under different physiological situations.

Abstract
We evaluated a new restricted access media (RAM) precolumn for direct analysis of drugs in plasma using a column switching HPLC system. The new RAM material was prepared by the modification of the external surface of porous silica with hydrophilic methylcellulose (MC), followed by modification of the internal surface with octadecylsilane (ODS). The external surface of the MC-immobilized ODS silica material (MC-ODS) suppressed the adsorption of proteins, while the internal surface of MC-ODS retained various types of drugs, such as ketoprofen, propranolol, caffeine and atenolol in plasma samples. In addition, MC-ODS allowed direct analysis of drugs in a 1000-microL plasma sample to monitor trace amounts of analytes contained. Reduced efficiency and clogging of the MC-ODS precolumn and/or the analytical column were not observed even after the repetitive injection of plasma sample up to 40 mL. Our results indicated that the MC-ODS precolumn could be used in pharmacodynamic and clinical studies.

Abstract
The main subject of the study was a toxicological investigation of biological specimens coming from two cases of intoxication with mixture of drugs. Two young people decided to commit suicide by the use of mixture of drugs mainly analgesic in approximately equal doses. For one person the dose of drugs administered turned out to be fatal while second person survived with the symptoms of acute intoxication. The analysis carried out with the use of liquid chromatographic method with mass detection (HPLC/MS) confirmed the presence of mixture of drugs in blood of living person and in postmortem specimens of the victim in significant concentrations. The toxicological findings have delivered information for discussion in medico-legal and ethical aspects.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether topical ketoprofen, which has been reported to provide analgesic effects in clinical studies, reaches predictable tissue concentrations high enough to account for the reported analgesia. Intramuscular ketoprofen was used as positive control. METHODS Muscle and subcutaneous tissue concentrations were assessed by microdialysis. Plasma and tissue concentrations after intramuscular injection were described using a three-compartment population pharmacokinetic model. The prediction performance of the model was assessed by superimposing tissue concentrations of 12 subjects that did not participate in the present study. RESULTS Most dialysate concentrations after topical dosing of ketoprofen (100 mg) were below the quantification limit of 0.47 ng/ml. Plasma concentrations increased slowly and reached an apparent plateau of 7-40 ng/ml at 10-12h. No decline was observed up to 16 h. Tissue concentrations after intramuscular injection (100 mg) were about 10 times higher than those after topical dosing. Tissue concentrations measured in the majority of the 12 subjects that did not participate in the present study were found within the range of two-thirds of the predicted concentrations. CONCLUSION Predictable and cyclooxygenase-inhibiting concentrations of ketoprofen were achieved in subcutaneous and muscle tissue after intramuscular but not after topical dosing. Thus, the tissue concentrations of ketoprofen after topical administration can hardly explain the reported clinical efficacy of topical ketoprofen.

Abstract
A high performance frontal analysis(HPFA) method was developed to determine the unbound concentration of drugs in drug-human serum albumin (HSA) mixture under binding equilibrium. The sample was injected directly onto an internal-surface reversed-phase silica column (ISRP). The mobile phase was 67 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, I = 0.17 mol/L). When a large volume of sample solution under drug-HSA binding equilibrium was directly injected, the drug was eluted as a trapezoidal peak with a plateau, and the drug concentration in this region was the same as that of the unbound drug in the sample solution. The eluate of plateau region was collected and a small volume was injected onto a reversed-phase HPLC column. This HPFA-HPLC method was employed in the determination of unbound concentration in both ketoprofen (KP)-HSA and cefoperazone (CP)-HSA mixtures. The unbound concentrations of drugs obtained by using HPFA-HPLC were compared with those determined with ultrafiltration-HPLC. The effects of sample volume and flow rate of mobile phase on the plateau formation were investigated. It was found that the minimum injection volume to achieve a trapezoidal peak varied with drugs. The flow rate showed no effect on the trapezoidal peak formation. The unbound concentrations of KP and CP obtained were about the same by using HPFA-HPLC or ultrafiltration-HPLC and precisions were similar for both methods.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic parameters were established for enantiomers of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketoprofen (KTP) administered as the racemic mixture at a dose of 2.2 mg/kg and as separate enantiomers, each at a dose of 1.1 mg/kg to a group of six horses (five mares and one gelding). A four-period cross-over study in a LPS-induced model of acute synovitis was used. After administration of the racemic mixture S(+)KTP was the predominant enantiomer in plasma as well as in synovial fluid. Unidirectional inversion of R(-) to S(+)KTP was demonstrated but the inversion was less marked than previously reported. It is suggested that this reduction could be because of the influence of the inflammatory reaction on hepatic metabolism. The disposition of KTP enantiomers after administration of the racemic mixture was similar to those observed after administration of S(+) and R(-)KTP. The S(+) and R(-)KTP concentrations in synovial fluid were low and short lasting. After administration of R(-)KTP significant concentrations of the optical antipode were detected in synovial fluid.

Abstract
A new, automatic method for the clean-up, preconcentration, separation, and quantitation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in biological samples (human urine and serum) using solid-phase extraction coupled on-line to capillary electrophoresis is proposed. Automatic pretreatment is carried out by using a continuous flow system operating simultaneously with the capillary electrophoresis equipment, to which it is linked via a laboratory-made mechanical arm. This integrated system is controlled by an electronic interface governed via a program developed in GWBasic. Capillary electrophoresis is conducted by using a separation buffer consisting of 20 mM NaHPO4, 20 mM beta-cyclodextrin and 50 mM SDS at pH 9.0, an applied potential of 20 kV and a temperature of 20 degrees C. The analysis time is 10 min and the detection limits were between 0.88 and 1.71 microg mL(-1). Automatic clean-up and preconcentration is accomplished by using a C-18 minicolumn and 75% methanol as eluent. The limit of detection of NSAIDs can be up to 400-fold improved when using sample clean-up. The extraction efficiency for these compounds is between 71.1 and 109.7 microg mL(-1) (RSD 2.0-7.7%) for urine samples and from 77.2 to 107.1 microg mL(-1) (RSD 3.5-7.1%) for serum samples.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to develop a method for kinetic analysis of drug transfer to cutaneous blood flow and to evaluate the effect of iontophoresis on drug transfer to cutaneous blood. Cathodal iontophoresis of ketoprofen (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) was conducted to rats (applied electrical current 0.14 and 0.70 mA/cm2; application time 5, 15, 30, 60 and 90 min), and the drug concentrations in skin, cutaneous vein and systemic vein were determined. Transfer rate of ketoprofen from skin to cutaneous blood (R(SC)) was calculated by modifying a physiological pharmacokinetic model. The time-course of R(SC) for 0.70 mA/cm2 showed that the value of R(SC) was initially increased, following a gradual decrease with time after 30-min application. The effect of electrical current on drug transfer to cutaneous blood flow was estimated from the comparison to passive diffusion (without electrical current). The R(SC) value at 30-min application was almost proportional to the electrical current, and the enhancement ratio for 0.14 and 0.70 mA/cm2 was 17 and 73, respectively. Consequently, our results suggest that the change of drug transfer to cutaneous blood flow by iontophoresis may depend on the application period and the magnitude of electrical current.

Abstract
Egg white protein-bonded columns were developed for HPLC. These columns can be used under aqueous mobile phase and separate various kinds of drug enantiomers. Hyphenated techniques using protein-bonded columns with LC/MS and/or column switching have been recognized as integral methods in pharmaceutical research to analyze drug enantiomers. Therefore, these methods are very useful for research fields of pharmacokinetics and pharmacology.

Abstract
Published data conflict with respect to the enantioselective protein binding parameters of R(-) and S(+) ketoprofen. We studied whether differences in experimental conditions used and/or presence of interfering compounds could provide a possible explanation for these discrepancies. Equilibrium dialysis, supported by ultrafiltration (67 mM Sörensen phosphate buffer pH 7.4, 580 microM HSA, 37 degrees C) allowed the characteristics of the binding sites to be determined according to Scatchard's analysis. (R) and (S)-ketoprofen concentrations were measured by HPLC. The free (R)-ketoprofen/free (S)-ketoprofen (F(R)/F(S)) concentration ratio was calculated. The effect of octanoic acid (OA) found in currently marketed intravenous HSA solutions, and hippuric acid (HA), on F(R)/F(S) concentration ratio was considered. Two classes of binding sites were characterized for both enantiomers. The free (S)-ketoprofen concentrations remained equal to those of the (R)-antipode at low concentrations of racemate (2-35 microg ml(-1)) indicating non-stereoselective albumin binding over the therapeutic range. From 35 microg ml(-1), the free (S)-ketoprofen concentrations were slighty greater than those of its antipode. Both OA and HA induced an increase of the free fraction of the enantiomers by a two-fold to a 15-fold order of magnitude. OA, but not HA, showed a more pronounced effect for the (S)-form leading to a marked decrease in F(R)/F(S) concentration ratio (0.61). Differences in HSA preparations used and/or the presence of interfering compounds may explain the variability in the reported protein binding characteristics of ketoprofen enantiomers.

Abstract
The popularity of packed-column supercritical fluid, subcritical fluid, and enhanced fluidity liquid chromatographies (pcSFC) for enantiomeric separations has increased steadily over the past few years. The addition of a significant amount (typically 20-95%) of a viscosity lowering agent, such as carbon dioxide, to the mobile phase provides a number of advantages for chiral separations. For example, higher mobile-phase flow rates can often be attained without a concomitant loss in chromatographic efficiency since diffusion coefficients, and optimum velocities, are typically higher in pcSFC. Ultratrace enantioselective quantitation of drugs in biomatrixes is an ideal application for these chromatographic attributes. To demonstrate the utility of this approach, a pcSFC tandem mass spectrometry (pcSFC-MS/MS) method was compared to a LC-MS/MS method for quantitation of the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of ketoprofen (kt), a potent nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drug, in human plasma. After preparation using automated solid-phase extraction in the 96-well format, kt enantiomers were separated on a Chirex 3005 analytical column using isocratic conditions. Validation data and study sample data from patients dosed with either orally or topically administered ketoprofen were generated using both pcSFC and LC as the chromatographic methods to compare and contrast these analytical approaches. Generally, most analytical attributes, including specificity, linearity, sensitivity, accuracy, precision, and ruggedness, for both of these methods were comparable with the exception that the pcSFC separation provided a roughly 3-fold reduction in analysis time. A 2.3-min pcSFC separation and a 6.5-min LC separation provided equivalent, near-baseline-resolved peaks, demonstrating a significant time savings for analysis of large batch pharmacokinetic samples using pcSFC.

Abstract
The reported therapeutic benefits of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in slowing periodontal disease progression appear intimately linked to the effective inhibition of local prostaglandin synthesis. This randomized, partially double-blind, controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of the NSAID, ketoprofen (KTP), on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) prostanoids. 42 subjects, ages 35-57 years, with moderate to advanced adult periodontitis were recruited and monitored for 22 days. On day 1, subjects were randomized for 1 of 5 treatments: i) 0.5% KTP gel; ii) 1.0% KTP gel; iii) 1.0% KTP alternate gel; iv) 2.0% KTP gel; v) 25 mg KTP capsule (positive control). Subjects applied 1 ml of gel topically to their gingiva or administered one capsule p.o., b.i.d. for 14.5 days. GCF samples were collected from posterior, interproximal sites on days 1 (pre-dosing; 1, 2, 3, 6 h), 8 (pre-dosing; 2 h), 15 (pre-dosing; 2 h) and 22 (post-treatment). GCF levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) were determined using RIA, and expressed in ng/ml and % reduction from baseline (%Effect). Neither a significant difference among groups nor a dose response in % effect for either prostanoid was evident, both overall and among cohorts with elevated baseline mediator levels ([PGE2]>34 ng/ml; [LTB4]>300 ng/ml). When data were combined from all groups, significant (p<0.01) % reductions in GCF PGE2 were noted at 1 and 2 h post-dosing (29% and 24% respectively). In comparing topical versus systemic formulations, all topical formulations were as equipotent as systemic dosing in altering local prostaglandin levels despite lower KTP exposures with gel treatments. These data indicate that both topical and systemic KTP therapies pharmacodynamically reduce GCF PGE2 levels in adult periodontitis subjects, allowing for potential inhibition of disease progression.

Abstract
Isotachophoresis (ITP) was applied for the determination of some antirheumatic drugs (fenoprofen, naproxen, ibuprofen, and ketoprofen) in human serum. The leading electrolyte contained hydrochloric acid (10 mmol x L(-1)), creatinine (pH 4.5) and methylhydroxyethyl cellulose (0.1%). The terminating electrolyte was 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (10 mmol x L(-1)) adjusted with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane to pH 6.9. The ITP separations were carried out in column-coupling configuration of the separation unit provided with a preseparation column of 160 x 0.8 mm inner diameter (ID) and analytical column of 160 x 0.3 mm ID. The limit of detection for ibuprofen, fenoprofen, and naproxen in serum by direct sampling was 0.008, 0.005 and 0.004 mmol x L(-1). The limit of detection for ketoprofen in serum after ethanol precipitation was 0.001 mmol x L(-1).

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen (KP) enantiomers were studied in ten female and eight male camels after a single intravenous dose (2.0 mg/kg) of racemic KP. A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the quantitation of the R- and S-enantiomers without derivatization of the samples using a S,S-Whelk-01 chiral stationary phase column. The data collected (median and range) were as follows: the areas under the curve to infinity (AUC) (microg/mL per h) were 22.4 (13.5-29.7) and 19.8 (13.8-22.1) for R- and S-KP, respectively, in female camels while the corresponding values in male camels were 16.0 (12.9-22.4) and 14.4 (11.0-19.3). In both sexes, the AUC for the R-enantiomer was significantly larger than that of the S-enantiomer. Total body clearances (Cl(t)) were 44.6 (33.7-74.1) and 50.6 (45.2-72.4) mL/kg per h for R- and S-KP, respectively, in female camels and were 62.8 (44.6-77.8) and 69.6 (51.8-91.1) mL/kg per h for R- and S-KP, respectively, in male camels. In both sexes of camels, the Cl(t) values for R-KP were significantly lower than its corresponding antipode. The steady-state volumes of distribution (Vss) were 97.9 (82.8-147.2) and 102.0 (90.1-169.0) mL/kg for R- and S-KP, respectively, in female camels and were significantly different from each other, while the respective values in male camels were 151.5 (105.3-222.3) and 154.0 (114.7-229.0) mL/kg but were not significantly different from each other. The volumes of distribution (area) followed a similar pattern, where the values for R- and S-KP in female camels were 118.5 (95.6-195.2) and 137.6 (115.8-236.2) mL/kg, respectively, and the respective values in male camels were 215.6 (119.1-270.1) and 229.1 (143.3-277.4) mL/kg. The elimination half-lives (t1/2beta) were 1.88 (1.42-2.34) h and 1.83 (1.67-2.26) h for R- and S-KP, respectively, in female camels and were significantly different from each other, while the corresponding values in male camels were 2.11 (1.50-4.20) and 2.33 (1.52-3.83) h for R and S-KP, respectively, but were not significantly different from each other. The mean residence time followed a similar pattern. All pharmacokinetic parameters for R- and S-KP in female camels were significantly different from their corresponding values in male camels. The extent of protein binding for R- and S-KP was evaluated in vitro by ultrafiltration. The extents of protein binding for R- and S-KP were not significantly different from each other when each enantiomer was supplemented separately. However, when the enantiomers were supplemented together, protein binding of R-KP was significantly higher than that of S-KP in female but not in male camels.

Abstract
The objective of our study is to establish a novel method for the in vivo evaluation of transdermal delivery. In this study, cathodal iontophoresis of ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was performed in the thoracic area of rats at a constant direct current, and blood samples were collected from cutaneous vein passing through the thoracic part of the body. After the iontophoresis, the plasma ketoprofen concentration in cutaneous vein ipsilateral to the application site was significantly higher than that in systemic vein. On the other hand, the plasma concentration in cutaneous vein contralateral to the application site was not significantly different from that in systemic vein. A comparison of the time-course curves demonstrated that, for the duration of iontophoresis, the plasma ketoprofen concentration in cutaneous vein ipsilateral to the application site increased with the amount of ketoprofen absorbed in the skin. These results suggest that the plasma concentration in the cutaneous vein ipsilateral to the application site is related with the transfer of drug from skin to cutaneous blood circulation. Therefore, the measurement of plasma concentration in cutaneous vein close to the application site would allow us to directly quantify the local behavior of iontophoretic transdermal absorption.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective method was developed for the determination of (R)-ketoprofen ((R)-kt) and (S)-ketoprofen ((S)-kt) in human plasma using chiral liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Plasma samples spiked with stable-isotope-labeled [(13)C(1), (2)H(3)]-(R and S)-ketoprofen, for use as the internal standards, were prepared for analysis using automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) in the 96-well microtiter format. The enantiomers were separated on an (R)-1-naphthylglycine and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (Chirex 3005) 250x2.0 mm i.d. analytical column, equipped with a 30x2.0 mm i.d. guard column using isocratic mobile phase conditions. The (R)- and (S)-kt levels were quantifiable from 0.05 to 2500 ng ml(-1) by constructing two separate curves from calibration standards covering the same range. The first curve ranged from 0.05 to 100 and the second from 100 to 2500 ng ml(-1). A concentration of 0.05 ng ml(-1) of either enantiomer was easily detected using a 1 ml plasma sample volume. The average method accuracy, evaluated at four levels over an extended period, was better than +/-3% over the entire range. The precision for the same set of quality control samples ranged from 4.0 to 7.0 % RSD (n = 24). The method was applied to the evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters in human plasma obtained from volunteers who received 25 mg of kt by peroral administration of Actron caplets or by topical administration of Oruvail gel.

Abstract
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Its pharmacokinetics has not been determined in small children. The objective here was to determine the pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen syrup, 0.5 mg/kg, in two groups of 10 children. Group 1 was from ages 6 months up to 2 years (7/10 younger than 1 year), and Group 2 was from ages 2 to 7 years. Venous blood samples were collected before drug administration and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours after. A validated HPLC method was used to determine plasma levels of ketoprofen. The lower limit of quantification was 0.02 microgram/ml of plasma. Ketoprofen syrup was absorbed rapidly, the plasma level reaching its maximum at 0.5 hours, with C0.5 hours = 3 micrograms/ml. The pharmacokinetics was similar between the two groups of children. The elimination half-life, 2.0 hours in Group 1 or 1.9 hours in Group 2, was similar to that reported in adults.

Abstract
The group of LiChrospher ADS (alkyl-diol silica) sorbents that make part of a unique family of restricted-access materials, have been developed as special packings for precolumns used in the LC-integrated sample processing of biofluids. The advantage of these sorbents lies in the direct injection of untreated biological fluids, that is without sample clean-up, the elimination of the protein matrix with a quantitative recovery together with an on-column enrichment. The present method is based on previous work applying UV detection at 260 nm for ketoprofen determinations. Plasma samples introduced to the ADS precolumn using a 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. After washing with the buffer the ADS column was backflushed with the mobile phase 0.01 M phosphate buffer-6% (v/v) 2-propanol-5 mM octanoic acid at a pH of 5.5, thus transporting the analytes to the chiral-HSA (human serum albumin) (100x4.0 mm) column where the separation of the ketoprofen enantiomers was achieved with a resolution factor of 1.4. The developed column-switching method was fully applicable to plasma injections.

Abstract
The stereoselective binding of ketoprofen (KP) to human serum was studied in patients with liver diseases and was compared with that of normal volunteers. The serum protein binding of racemic KP was found to be decreased in hepatic patients whereas, interestingly, the stereoselectivity of KP was increased. The ratio of unbound concentrations of the KP enantiomers (FR/FS) showed positive linear correlation with albumin concentrations. Inhibition of KP binding to human serum albumin (HSA) induced by lithocholate, lithocholate sulfate and bilirubin was studied. The data presented in this paper strongly suggest that the variation of stereoselective binding of KP in patients suffering from liver diseases was mainly caused by the decrease of HSA levels and secondly by the stereoselective inhibition induced by the increased concentrations of bile acid and its metabolite.

Abstract
Making up part of the unique family of restricted access materials (RAM) the Lichrospher ADS (alkyl-diol silica) sorbents have been developed as special packing materials for precolumns used for LC-integrated sample processing of biofluids. The advantage of such phases consists of direct injection of untreated biological fluids without sample clean-up and elimination of the protein matrix together with an on-column enrichment. The plasma samples, with internal standard phenacetin added (not essential), were brought onto the precolumn (C-18 ADS, 25 micron, 25 x 4 mm i.d.) using a phosphate buffer, 0.1 M, pH 7.0. After washing with the buffer, the ADS column was backflushed with the mobile phase phosphate buffer 0. 05 M pH 7.0: acetonitrile (80:20), thus transporting the analytes onto a reversed-phase column Ecocart 125-3 HPLC cartridge with a LiChrocart 4-4 guard column, both packed with LiChrospher 5 micron 100 RP-18; after separation detection was performed in UV at 260 nm. Essential features of the method include the novel precolumn packing, the absence of sample pretreatment, a quantitave recovery, good precision and accuracy, as well as a considerable reduction of analysis time compared to conventional manual methods applied in bioavailability studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE A pharmacokinetic study was carried out in rats to investigate the effect of arthritis on the glucuronidation of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen. METHODS An i.v. bolus dose of R,S-ketoprofen (10 mg/kg) was administered to control (n = 6) and adjuvant-induced arthritic rats (n = 6). All experiments were carried out in bile-exteriorized animals. Concentrations of R- and S-ketoprofen in plasma, bile and urine, and of their glucuronides in bile and urine were determined by HPLC. In a separate series of experiments, the ex vivo plasma protein binding of R- and S-ketoprofen was measured in control and arthritic rats following i.v. administration of R,S-ketoprofen. RESULTS As a result of a significant decrease in plasma albumin concentrations in arthritic rats, the unbound fraction of R- and S-ketoprofen was significantly increased (approximately 2-fold) in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis. Total (i.e., bound plus unbound) plasma clearances of R- and S-ketoprofen were not different in arthritic rats. Unbound plasma clearances of both ketoprofen enantiomers, however, were significantly reduced (by 53% and 61%, respectively). This was due to a significant impairment in the formation of the R- and S-ketoprofen glucuronides. There was no apparent effect of adjuvant-induced arthritis on the chiral inversion of R- to S-ketoprofen. CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant-induced arthritis in the rat leads to a significant impairment in the in vivo glucuronidation of R- and S-ketoprofen.

Abstract
Platelet function is impaired by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with prominent anti-inflammatory properties. Their safety in patients undergoing intracranial surgery is under debate. Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were randomized to receive either ketoprofen, 100 mg, three times a day (ketoprofen group, n = 9) or a weak NSAID, acetaminophen, 1 g, three times a day (acetaminophen group, n = 9) starting immediately after the diagnosis of aneurysmal SAH. Treatment was continued for 3 days postoperatively. Test blood samples were taken before treatment and surgery as well as on the first, third, and fifth postoperative mornings. Maximal platelet aggregation induced by 6 microM of adenosine diphosphate decreased after administration of ketoprofen. Aggregation was lower (P < .05) in the ketoprofen group than in the acetaminophen group just before surgery and on the third postoperative day. In contrast, maximal platelet aggregation increased in the acetaminophen group on the third postoperative day as compared with the pretreatment platelet aggregation results (P < .05). One patient in the ketoprofen group developed a postoperative intracranial hematoma. Coagulation (prothrombin time [PT], activated partial thromboplastin time [APPT], fibrinogen concentration, and antithrombin III [AT III]) was comparable between the two groups. Ketoprofen but not acetaminophen impaired platelet function in patients with SAH. If ketoprofen is used before surgery on cerebral artery aneurysms, it may pose an additional risk factor for hemorrhage.

Abstract
In an attempt to improve the skin penetration of ketoprofen, various transdermal formulations were prepared, and their in vitro skin permeability and in vivo percutaneous absorption were evaluated. In vitro permeation studies were performed using a modified Franz cell diffusion system in which permeation parameters such as cumulative amount at 8 hr Q8hr, steady-state flux Jss, or lag time tL were determined. In the in vivo percutaneous absorption study using the hairless mouse, maximum concentration Cmax and area under the curve at 24 hr AUC24h were measured. The optimal transdermal formulation (oleo-hydrogel formulation) of ketoprofen showed a Q8hr value of 227.20 micrograms/cm2, a Jss value of 29.61 micrograms/cm2/hr, and a tL value of 0.46 hr. The Q8hr and Jss values were about 10-fold (p < .01) higher than those (Q8hr = 19.61 micrograms/cm2; Jss = 2.66 micrograms/cm2/hr) from the K-gel and about 3.5-fold (p < .01) than those (Q8hr = 60.00 micrograms/cm2; Jss = 7.99 micrograms/cm2/hr) of the K-plaster. In the in vivo percutaneous absorption, the Cmax (6.82 micrograms/ml) and AUC24h (55.74 micrograms.hr/ml) values of the optimal formulation were significantly (p < .01) higher than those of K-gel and K-plaster. The relative bioavailability of the oleo-hydrogel following transdermal administration in reference to oral administration was about 37%, and the Cmax value (4.73 micrograms/cm2) in the hypodermis following topical administration was much higher than those from the conventional products (Cmax of K-gel and K-plaster were 0.92 +/- 0.19 microgram/cm2 and 1.27 +/- 0.37 microgram/cm2, respectively). These data demonstrate that the oleo-hydrogel formulation of ketoprofen was more beneficial than conventional products (K-gel and K-plaster) in enhancing transdermal permeation and skin absorption of ketoprofen. Furthermore, there was a good correlation between in vitro permeation parameters and in vivo percutaneous absorption parameters.
