Ketoprofen (RP-19583) is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, acting as a potent inhibitor of COX, with IC50s of 2 nM and 26 nM for COX-1 and COX-2 in human blood monocytes, respectively.
Ketoprofen (Compound 2) is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, acting as a potent inhibitor of COX, with IC50s of 2 nM and 26 nM for COX-1 and COX-2 in human blood monocytes, respectively[1].
Ketoprofen (RP-19583) (0.32-10 mg/kg, s.c) dose-dependently inhibits acid-induced depression of nesting (IC50, 2.05 mg/kg), and reverses CFA-induced such depression at 0.1-10 mg/kg, with an IC50 of 0.18 mg/kg in mice[2].
