Background: Ibuprofen, commonly used in management of pains and inflammatory conditions, has been associated with renal damage. The protective role antioxidants against Ibuprofen-induced damage wistar rats were investigated this study. Methods: study was designed two parts; first, to induce kidney secondly, determine ibuprofen-induced injury. In the first phase, groups animals used; one group t...

Calcium phosphate bone substitute materials can be loaded with active substances for in situ, targeted drug administration. In this study, porous β-TCP pellets were investigated as an anti-inflammatory drug carrier. Porous β-TCP pellets were impregnated with an ethanolic solution of ibuprofen. The effects of contact time and concentration of ibuprofen solution on drug adsorption were studied. T...

High doses of ibuprofen have been shown to delay the progression of lung disease without serious adverse effects in patients with cystic fibrosis. To be effective, peak ibuprofen concentration of 50 to 100 mg/L has to be achieved. We developed an HPLC assay to rapidly determine plasma ibuprofen concentration. We used this assay to determine the pharmacokinetics of ibuprofen in patients with cys...

Ibuprofen kinetics were studied in 15 subjects after four oral doses. Plasma levels of both total and free ibuprofen were measured for 12 hr, and urine was collected for 48 hr after the doses. All subjects showed a nonlinear relationship between dose and total ibuprofen plasma AUC. Free ibuprofen plasma AUC, however, was linearly related to the dose, suggesting that oral clearance based on free...

prolonged and high fever may cause various disturbances in children, and prompt lowering of fever is essential. therefore, an appropriate treatment aimed at rapid lowering of fever and keeping the child afebrile is mandated. there have been various studies on the different types of anti-pyretic treatment in children. the aim of our study is to compare the antipyretic effect of acetaminophen and...

The aim of this study is investigating the transport mechanism of ibuprofen chiral isomers inside single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT) using mathematical modeling. To achieve this goal, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to evaluate the interactions of ibuprofen isomers with SWCNT in an aqueous solution. Results show that both chiral forms of ibuprofen molecules enter and remain i...

Ibuprofen is metabolized to chemically reactive acyl glucuronide and S-acyl-CoA metabolites that are proposed to transacylate glutathione (GSH) forming ibuprofen-S-acyl-GSH (I-SG) in vivo. Herein, we report the detection of novel metabolites of ibuprofen, namely ibuprofen-N-acyl-cysteinylglycine (I-N-CG), ibuprofen-N-acyl-cysteine (I-N-C), and the mercapturic acid conjugate, ibuprofen-S-acyl-N-...

BACKGROUND Rofecoxib is a potent cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor with a long duration of action. Its role in migraine has not been systematically evaluated. AIM To study the efficacy of rofecoxib in migraine. METHOD In a randomised placebo controlled trial rofecoxib 25 mg, ibuprofen 400 mg, and placebo were compared regarding their efficacy in relieving acute migraine attack. Migraine patients ...

Clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of ibuprofen therapy in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, an effect that is currently attributed to ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory properties. Yet, a few previous reports demonstrated an antimicrobial activity of ibuprofen as well, although none investigated its direct effects on the pathogens found in the CF lung, which is the focus of this work. Dete...
