Ketoprofen (Item No. 10006661) is a non-selective, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug exhibiting IC50 values of 0.5 and 2.33 µM for human recombinant COX-1 and COX-2 (Item No. 60122), respectively.{1286} Ketoprofen is commonly used in vivo as a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers. (S)-Ketoprofen is a potent inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 (IC50s = 1.9 and 27 nM, respectively), whereas the (R)-enantiomer is 100 to 1,000 times less potent.{27037,7889} Notably, (S)-ketoprofen is known to be formed from the (R)-enantiomer in several animal species, except in humans and guinea pigs.{7889} Also, the pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen enantiomers and their glucuronide metabolites are altered in humans with rheumatoid arthritis or renal disease.{27035,27036}
