Abstract
Computer-based drug design is increasingly used in strategies for discovering new molecules for therapeutic purposes. The targeted drug is ketoprofen (KTP), which belongs to the family of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are widely used for the treatment of pain, fever, inflammation and certain types of cancers. In an attempt to rationalize the search for 72 new potential anti-inflammatory compounds on the COX-2 enzyme, we carried out an in silico protocol that successfully combines molecular docking towards COX-2 receptor (5F1A), ADMET pharmacokinetic parameters, drug-likeness rules and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP). It was found that six of the compounds analyzed satisfy with the associated values to physico-chemical properties as key evaluation parameters for the drug-likeness and demonstrate a hydrophobic character which makes their solubility in aqueous media difficult and easy in lipids. All the compounds presented good ADMET profile and they showed an interaction with the amino acids responsible for anti-inflammatory activity of the COX-2 isoenzyme. The calculation of the MEP of the six analogues reveals new preferential sites involving the formation of new bonds. Consequently, this result allowed us to understand the origin of the potential increase in the anti-inflammatory activity of the candidates. Finally, it was obtained that six compounds have a binding mode, binding energy, and stability in the active site of COX-2 like the reference drug ketoprofen, suggesting that these compounds could become a powerful candidate in the inhibition of the COX-2 enzyme.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show a good property for pain treatment by modulating inflammatory response. However, the underlying therapeutic effect and related mechanism of BMSCs on inflammatory pain remain unclear. Therefore, we explored the function and potential mechanism of BMSCs performing in a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain model in this study. Here, BMSCs were injected into the CFA-treated rats, and we used behavioural tests to evaluate the changes in hypersensitivity. High-throughput sequencing was used to screen out the hub genes. Molecular biology experiments were performed to detect the level of P2X3 or inflammatory mediators in rats and observed the distribution of P2X3 in neural cells. Furthermore, the function of the P2X3 was explored via inhibitor and activator experiments. Finally, we found that BMSCs alleviated hyperalgesia and spinal levels of pro-inflammatory factors in CFA-treated rats. High-throughput sequencing showed that P2X3 and P2X7 were identified as hub genes, and only the expression level of P2X3 was significantly down-regulated after BMSCs treatment. Immunohistochemistry showed that P2X3 mainly colocalized with microglia and astrocytes. The levels of P2X3 and pro-inflammatory factors were all significantly reduced after BMSC injection. Moreover, similar attenuation was found in the CFA-treated rats after injecting the P2X3 inhibitor, and a P2X3 antagonist reversed the attenuation induced by the BMSCs. These findings suggest that BMSCs exerted a therapeutic effect on inflammatory pain by inhibiting the expression of P2X3 and the excessive production of inflammatory mediators was associated with an increased P2X3 level and BMSC therapy reverse these effects.

Conjugation with Tris Decreases the Risk of Ketoprofen-Induced Mucosal Damage and Reduces Inflammation-Associated Methane Production in a Rat Model of Colitis. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2329. [PMID: 37765297 PMCID: PMC10535093 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15092329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
We have designed a new compound from the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketoprofen (Ket) and 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (Tris) precursors, with the aim to reduce the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects of NSAID therapies. We investigated mucosal reactions in a standard rat model of colitis together with methane generation as a possible indicator of pro-inflammatory activation under this condition (approval number: V./148/2013). Whole-body methane production (photoacoustic spectroscopy) and serosal microcirculation (intravital videomicroscopy) were measured, and mucosal damage was assessed (conventional histology; in vivo laser-scanning endomicroscopy). Inflammatory markers were measured from tissue and blood samples. Colitis induced an inflammatory response, morphological colonic damage and increased methane output. Ket treatment lowered inflammatory activation and colonic mucosal injury, but macroscopic gastric bleeding and increased methane output were present. Ket-Tris reduced inflammatory activation, methane emission and colonic mucosal damage, without inducing gastric injury. Conjugation with Tris reduces the GI side effects of Ket and still decreases the inflammatory response in experimental colitis. Methane output correlates with the mucosal inflammatory response and non-invasively demonstrates the effects of anti-inflammatory treatments.

Abstract
In the treatment of pain, especially chronic pain, the rule of multimodal therapy applies, based on various painkillers mechanisms of action. The aim of the conducted study was to evaluate the in vitro penetration of ketoprofen (KET) and lidocaine hydrochloride (LH) through the human skin from a vehicle with transdermal properties. The results obtained with the use of the Franz chamber showed statistically significantly higher penetration of KET from the transdermal vehicle as compared to commercial preparations. It was also shown that the addition of LH to the transdermal vehicle did not change the amount of KET permeated. The study also compared the penetration of KET and LH by adding various excipients to the transdermal vehicle. Comparing the cumulative mass of KET that penetrated after the 24-h study, it was observed that the significantly highest permeation was found for the vehicle containing additionally Tinctura capsici, then for that containing camphor and ethanol, and the vehicle containing menthol and ethanol as compared to that containing Pentravan® alone. A similar tendency was observed in the case of LH, where the addition of Tinctura capsici, menthol and camphor led to a statistically significant higher penetration. Adding certain drugs such as KET and LH to Pentravan®, and substances such as menthol, camphor or capsaicin, can be an interesting alternative to administered enteral drugs especially in the group of patients with multiple diseases and polypragmasy.

Abstract
Side effects of Ketoprofen and ketoprofen lysine salt (KLS) may be inter alia from the central nervous system, kidneys and liver. After binge drinking people often use ketoprofen, which increases the risk for the occurrence of side effects. The aim of the study was to compere effects of ketoprofen and KLS on the nervous system, kidneys and liver after ethyl alcohol intoxication. There were 6 groups of 6 male rats which received: ethanol; 0.9%NaCl; 0.9%NaCl and ketoprofen; ethanol and ketoprofen; 0.9%NaCl and KLS; ethanol and KLS. On day 2, the motor coordination test on a rotary rod and memory and motor activity test in the Y-maze were performed. Hot plate test was performed on day 6. After euthanasia brains, livers and kidneys were taken to histopathological tests. Motor coordination was significant worse in group 5 vs 1,3, p 0.05. Spontaneous motor activity of group 6 was significant better than that of groups 1,5. Pain tolerance of group 6 was significant worse than that of groups 1,4,5. Liver and kidney mass were significantly lower in group 6 vs group 3,5 and vs group 1,3, respectively. The histopathologic examination of the brains and kidneys revealed normal picture in all groups, without signs of inflammation. In the histopathologic examination of the livers in one animal in group 3 some of the specimens showed perivascular inflammation. After alcohol ketoprofen is a better painkiller than KLS. Spontaneous motor activity is better after KLS after alcohol. Both drugs have a similar effect on the kidneys and liver.

Exploration of the Safety and Solubilization, Dissolution, Analgesic Effects of Common Basic Excipients on the NSAID Drug Ketoprofen. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020713.

Abstract
Since its introduction to the market in the 1970s, ketoprofen has been widely used due to its high efficacy in moderate pain management. However, its poor solubility and ulcer side effects have diminished its popularity. This study prepared forms of ketoprofen modified with three basic excipients: tris, L-lysine, and L-arginine, and investigated their ability to improve water solubility and reduce ulcerogenic potential. The complexation/salt formation of ketoprofen and the basic excipients was prepared using physical mixing and coprecipitation methods. The prepared mixtures were studied for solubility, docking, dissolution, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), in vivo evaluation for efficacy (the writhing test), and safety (ulcerogenic liability). Phase solubility diagrams were constructed, and a linear solubility (AL type) curve was obtained with tris. Docking studies suggested a possible salt formation with L-arginine using Hirshfeld surface analysis. The order of enhancement of solubility and dissolution rates was as follows: L-arginine > L-lysine > tris. In vivo analgesic evaluation indicated a significant enhancement of the onset of action of analgesic activities for the three basic excipients. However, safety and gastric protection indicated that both ketoprofen arginine and ketoprofen lysine salts were more favorable than ketoprofen tris.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently administered orally with modified-release formulations. The attainment of modified-release drugs is commonly achieved through the coprecipitation of the active principle with a biodegradable polymeric carrier in the form of micro or nanoparticles. In this review, some coprecipitation studies of three highly prescribed NSAIDs (in particular, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and diclofenac sodium) have been analyzed. The techniques employed to micronize the powder, the polymers used, and the main results have been classified according to the type of release required in different categories, such as delayed, immediate, prolonged, sustained, and targeted release formulations. Indeed, depending on the pathology to be treated, it is possible to achieve specific therapeutic objectives, ensuring that the drug is released at a higher or lower dissolution rate (if compared to conventional drugs) and/or at a different time and/or in a specific site of action.

Abstract
This work developed high drug-load pellets for colon targeting in minimal steps by coupling hot-melt extrusion (HME) with a die-surface cutting pelletizer, offering a potential continuous pellet manufacturing process. Ketoprofen (KTP) was selected as a model drug for this study due to its thermal stability and severe upper gastrointestinal side effects. Low and high methoxyl grade pectins were the enzyme-triggered release matrix, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HME 4 M/HME 100LV) was used as a premature release-retarding agent. The powder X-ray diffraction technique and the differential scanning calorimetry results revealed that KTP exists in the solid-solution state within the polymeric matrix after the HME step. The scanning electron micrographs of the fabricated pellets showed a smooth surface without any cracks. The lead formulation showed the lowest premature drug release (∼13%) with an extended KTP release profile over a 24 h period in the presence and absence of the release-triggering enzyme. The lead formulation was stable for 3 months at accelerated stability conditions (40 °C/75 ± 5% RH) concerning drug content, in vitro release, and thermal characteristics. In summary, coupling HME and pelletization processes could be a promising technology for developing colon-targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
New derivatives of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were synthesized via conjugation with L-amino acid isopropyl esters. The characteristics of the physicochemical properties of the obtained pharmaceutically active ionic liquids were determined. It has been shown how the incorporation of various L-amino acid esters as an ion pair affects the properties of the parent drug. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of the obtained compounds was evaluated. The proposed structural modifications of commonly used drugs indicate great potential for use in topical and transdermal preparations.

Abstract
Anwulignan (AN) is a monomer lignan from Schisandra sphenanthera Rehd. et Wits (Schisandra sphenanthera fructus, Schisandra sphenanthera). The protective effect of AN against the indomethacin (IND)-induced gastric injury to mice and the related mechanism of action was investigated in this study. The effect of AN was mainly assessed by observing the gastric tissue morphology, gastric ulcer index (GUI), ulcer inhibition rate (UIR), gastric juice volume (GJV) and pH value. Chemical colorimetry, immunofluorescence, ELISA, and Western blot were used to detect related factors in the gastric tissue. The results showed that AN reduced the GUI, increased the UIR, inhibited the GJV, and increased the gastric pH value. AN significantly increased cyclooxygenase-1, cyclooxygenase-2, and prostaglandin E2 expression levels in the gastric tissue, activated nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), increased heme oxygenase-1 expression, enhanced the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, and decreased the malondialdehyde content. AN reduced the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κ gene binding (NF-κB) p65 and its nuclear translocation, the key protein of NF-κB signaling pathway in the gastric tissue, and the content of the pathway downstream signaling molecules, including interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α, to play an anti-inflammatory role. AN inhibited the downstream signals B-cell lymphoma 2-associated x protein and cleaved caspase-3 in gastric tissue, and activated B-cell lymphoma 2, to play an antiapoptotic role, which were further verified by Hoechst staining. Therefore, AN has a significant protection against the gastric injury induced by IND in mice, and the mechanism may be concerned in its activation of Nrf2, inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway, and anti-apoptotic effect. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Anwulignan (AN) significantly reduced the indomethacin-induced gastric injury in mice, and its antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and antiapoptosis were considered to be involve in the effect, suggesting that AN should be a potential drug or food supplement for gastric injury induced by indomethacin.

Abstract
Abstract
Ketoprofen (K) belongs to the family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and demonstrates analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. K is one of the most commonly used NSAIDs because of the speed and effectiveness of its activity. K is currently used for the treatment of pain and treatment of symptoms in rheumatic diseases, however, many researchers are looking for new uses of K. The aim of the review was to present the possible applications of K as indicated in current literature. We searched research literature and compiled all the reports (2015 onwards) we could find about new possible employments of K in health practices. Many studies have been aimed at obtaining new uses of K. This article describes the use of ketoprofen lysine salt for treating injured gastric mucosa, the anti-allergic potential of K, the employment of K in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, human lymphedema and seizures, as well as the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of K, prospects for the use of K in oncology and transplantology. The findings of the review confirm that K, its derivatives and complexes have many newly discovered effects. It is likely that in the future, K will have more indications than it has today.

The Anti-Inflammation and Anti-Nociception Effect of Ketoprofen in Rats Could Be Strengthened Through Co-Delivery of a H 2S Donor, S-Propargyl-Cysteine. J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:5863-5875. [PMID: 34785926 PMCID: PMC8590460 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s333326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Ketoprofen (KETO) is a traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) with good analgesic and antipyretic effects. However, as NASIDs, the toxicity of KETO towards gastrointestinal (GI) system might limit its clinical use. S-propargyl-cysteine (SPRC) is an excellent endogenous H2S donor showed wide application in the field of anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, or even the protection of cardiovascular system through the elevation of endogenous H2S concentration. As recently studies reported, co-administration of H2S donor might potentially mitigate the GI toxicity and relevant side effects induced by series of NSAIDs. METHODS In this study, we established a SPRC and KETO co-encapsulated poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) microsphere (SK@MS), and its particle size, morphology, storage stability and in vitro release profile were firstly investigated. The elevation of endogenous H2S level of SK@MS was then calculated, and the pharmacodynamic study (anti-inflammation and analgesic effects) of SK@MS, SPRC, and KETO towards adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) in rats were also studied. Finally, to test the potential side effect, the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine were resected from rats and examined by H&E staining. RESULTS A monodispersed SK@MS could be observed under the SEM, and particle size was calculated around 25.12 μm. The loading efficiency (LE) for SPRC and KETO were 6.67% and 2.64%, respectively, while the encapsulation efficiency (EE) for SPRC and KETO were 37.20% and 68.28%, respectively. SK@MS showed a sustained release of SPRC and KETO in vitro, which was up-to 15 days. SK@MS could achieve a long-term elevation of the H2S concentration in vivo, while SPRC showed an instant H2S elevation and metabolize within 6 h. Interestingly, the KETO did not show any influence on the H2S concentration in vivo. After establishment of AIA model, neither SPRC nor KETO showed scarcely anti-inflammation and anti-nociception effect, while conversely, SK@MS showed an obvious mitigation towards paw edema and pain in AIA rats, which indicated an improved anti-inflammation and anti-nociception effect when co-delivery of SRC and KETO. Besides, low stimulation towards major organs in rats observed in any experimental group. CONCLUSION A monodispersed was successfully prepared in this study, and SK@MS showed a sustained SPRC and KETO release in vitro and H2S release in vivo. In the pharmacodynamics study, SK@MS not only exhibited an excellent anti-inflammation and analgesic effects in AIA rats but also showed low stimulation towards rats.

Kuczyńska J, Nieradko-Iwanicka B. The effect of ketoprofen lysine salt on mucosa of rat stomach after ethyl alcohol intoxication. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 141:111938. [PMID: 34328086 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ketoprofen is a commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Side effects of ketoprofen occur mainly from the gastrointestinal tract due to the inhibition of cyclooxygenaze-1. Binge drinking at least once a week is reported by 80 million Europeans. On the day after many of them use NSAIDs. This increases the risk for damage of gastric mucosa. AIM The aim of the study was to check if use of ketoprofen lysine salt (KLS) has any gastroprotective effect on mucosa of rat stomach after ethyl alcohol intoxication. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 6 groups of 6 male rats which received: RESULTS: In groups 1, 2 and 3 the histopathologic examination of the stomachs revealed normal picture, without signs of inflammation. In the group 4, 5 and 6 within the mucosa and submucosa there were visible numerous infiltrates of inflammatory cells, consisting mainly of lymphocytes, plasmocytes and eosinophilia. Total leukocyte count was elevated in group 3, 4, 6. There was a significant decrease of blood urea concentration in group 6 vs 2 and significant decrease of serum albumin in group 6 vs 1 and 2, and total protein vs group 1. CONCLUSION Side effects of ketoprofen occur mainly from the gastrointestinal tract. KLS has no gastroprotective effect after ethanol-gastric injury and does not protect gastric mucosa from damage produced by binge drinking. Therefore it should not be used after drinking distilled spirits.
