PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Ketoprofen – non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drug of carboxylic acids group, propionic acid derivative. Ithas anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect. Ketoprofen is a dualinhibitor of the inflammatory process. The mechanism of its action is connectedwith blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins, lipoxygenase and with anti-bradykininactivity and stabilization of lysosomal membranes, significant deceleration ofneutrophil activity.
Ketoprofen – is a painkiller that affects the central and peripheral nervoussystems, inhibits bradykininaction, the vasodilator and mediator of pain.
In horses, ketoprofen neutralizes the effect of endotoxins and preventsintestinal convulsions, which caused by bradykinin.
Ketoprofen is quickly absorbed. More than 98% binds to blood plasma proteinsand accumulates in inflamed tissues. In cows, the plasma peak-levels (8.025 ±1.9 mcg/ml) are achieved in less than one hour after intramuscularadministration. Significant concentrations of ketoprofen found in the synovialliquid and its levels is higher than in the plasma, and the half-life period is2-3 times higher than in the plasma. Ketoprofenis metabolized in the liver toinsignificant biologically active metabolites, and 90 % is excreted in theurine as glucuronide compounds.
