- Abstract
- Ketoprofen-polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugates (KPEG) were prepared and their potential as a prolonged release system was investigated. Three KPEG conjugates were synthesized from ketoprofen and methoxy PEG with three different molecular weights by esterification in the presence of DCC. The KPEG conjugates were characterized by FT-IR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The rate of hydrolysis profile showed a specific acid-base catalysis pattern with a minimum at pH 4-5. The pharmacokinetic study after the intravenous and intramuscular administration of KPEG750 showed that the plasma levels of KP increased slowly and reached a maximum concentration at later time. The AUC of KPEG750 was higher than that after administering an equivalent dose of ketoprofen except 40 mg/kg dose of intramuscular administration. The tail-flick experiment and paw edema test after intramuscular administration showed that KPEG750 had extended analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects compared with ketoprofen. These results suggest that KPEG could be a promising NSAID prodrug with an extended pharmacological effect owing to delayed-release of parent drug. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
