The kinetics of fenoprofen release from poly[alpha,beta-(N-2-hydroxyethyl-DL-aspartamide)]-fenoprofen conjugate (PHEA-Fen) in aqueous buffer solutions (pH 10 and 1.1), simulated gastric (SGF) and intestinal fluids (SIF) was studied. In borate buffer pH 10, the following rate constants were obtained: k=0.2659 (t=60 degrees C) and k=0.0177 h(-1) (t=37 degrees C) and in glycine buffer solution pH 1.1 k=0.0036 h(-1). In SGF and SIF fenoprofen release did not occur in significant extend within 12 h. The hydrolysis of the ester bond between the polymeric carrier and fenoprofen followed the pseudo first-order kinetics, with activation energy indicative for the breakage of a sigma bond (E(a)=100.6 kJ mol(-1)). The concentration of the released fenoprofen was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Dressings with multiple functional performances (such as hemostasis, promoting regeneration, analgesia, and anti-inflammatory effects) are highly desired in orthopedic surgery. Herein, several new kinds of medicated nanofibers loaded with several active ingredients for providing multiple functions were prepared using the modified coaxial electrospinning processes. With an electrospinnable solution composed of polycaprolactone and fenoprofen as the core working fluid, several different types of unspinnable fluids (including pure solvent, nanosuspension containing tranexamic acid and hydroxyapatite, and dilute polymeric solution comprising tranexamic acid, hydroxyapatite, and polyvinylpyrrolidone) were explored to implement the modified coaxial processes for creating the multifunctional nanofibers.

A proof of concept for designing multi-drug-delivery systems suitable for self-drug-delivery is disclosed. Simple coordination chemistry was employed to anchor two kinds of drugs namely isoniazid (IZ - anti-tuberculosis), various non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory-drugs (NSAIDs) namely ibuprofen-IBU, fenoprofen-FEN, naproxen-NAP, diclofenac-DIC and mefenamic acid-MEF and Zn(NO) to synthesize a series of 1D coordination polymers namely IZIBU, IZFEN, IZNAP, IZDIC and IZMEF which were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD). The coordination polymers wherein both types of drugs were anchored to Zn(II) metal centers could easily be ground to nano-sized particles suitable for biological studies by hand grinding in a mortar and pestle.

The presence of various classes of pharmaceutical drugs in different environmental compartments has been reported worldwide. In South Africa, the detection of pharmaceuticals especially the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is recent, and more studies are being done in order to fully understand their fate in the aquatic environment. With considerations for the need of better sample preparation techniques, this study synthesized a molecularly imprinted polymer for the selective extraction of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, fenoprofen in aqueous environmental samples.

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of surfactant-based nanovesicular system (spanlastics) for topical delivery of fenoprofen calcium (FPCa) to eliminate its oral gastrointestinal adverse effects. FPCa-loaded spanlastics were prepared by thin film hydration (TFH) technique according to a full factorial design to investigate the influence of formulation variables on the drug entrapment efficiency (%EE), particle size (PS), deformability index (DI), and the % drug released after 24 h through the cellulose membrane (Q24h) using Design-Expert® software. The optimized formula (composed of Span 60 and Tween 60 as an edge activator at weight ratio of 8: 2 in presence of Transcutol P as a cosolvent in the hydration media) exhibited the highest %EE (49.
