Flurbiprofen is a chiral 2-arylpropionate used clinically as a racemate. Previously a significant pharmacokinetic interaction between the enantiomers of flurbiprofen has been reported in both rats and humans. The possible mechanism for this interaction was believed to involve competitive protein bin

β¦ Synopsis
Flurbiprofen pharmacokinetics were studied in 15 normal male subjects after four oral doses. Plasma levels of total (bound + free) drug were monitored for 48 h and urine was collected for 96 h after the doses. All subjects demonstrated linear relationships between administered dose and total flurbiprofen AUC, indicating that oral clearance is independent of dose for the dose range evaluated in this study. Urinary recovery data indicated that the efficacy of absorption was dose independent.

The pharmacokinetics of one of the most widely used non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, naproxen, were studied in 28 healthy human volunteers at the two most commonly used dose levels, viz., 250 mg and 500 mg, in a cross-over design. The plasma levels of naproxen were analysed by a modified high-p
The purpose of this study was to develop quantitative structure-activity/pharmacokinetic relationships (QSAR/QSPKR) for 11 selected corticosteroids in man. Multiple linear regression analysis with an automatic forward step-wise inclusion algorithm was used to construct QSAR/QSPKR models from molecul
The pharmacokinetic parameters of ibuprofen enantiomers after a single 600 mg dose and repeated 3 x 400 mg doses of Nurofen@ were determined in 12 healthy volunteers. Terminal half-lives were similar for both enantiomers, but plasma levels of S-ibuprofen were higher than those of R-ibuprofen, due to
Ibuprofen is a chiral drug which is used clinically as a racemate. The pharmacological properties of ibuprofen reside almost exclusively with the S( +)-enantiomer. However, a portion of R( -)-ibuprofen is metabolically inverted to its pharmacologically active, mirror-image form. To investigate the i
