A rapid, sensitive, stereospecific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for simultaneous quantitation of ketoprofen enantiomers, probenecid and their conjugates in biological fluids. Following addition of the internal standard, indoprofen, the constituents were extracted into isooctane-isopropanol (95:5), water-washed, extracted with chloroform, then evaporated and the residue sequentially derivatized with ethyl chloroformate and L-leucinamide hydrochloride. The formed diastereomers were chromatographed on a reversed-phase column with a mobile phase of 0.06 M KH2PO4-acetonitrile-triethylamine (65:35:0.1) at a flow-rate of 1 ml/min and a detection wavelength of 275 nm. The minimum quantifiable concentration was 0.5 micrograms/ml in 100 microliters of rat plasma and urine samples. The intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation for this method are less than 10%. The assay is successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study. The simultaneous analysis of probenecid with several other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was also successful.

The synthesis of optically active compounds requires determination of ee, er, and enantiomeric purity. The aim of the present paper is to review the synthesis of several chiral derivatizing reagents (CDRs) in a rational manner, which were successful for the separation and isolation of enantiomers of a variety of active pharmaceutical ingredients and other important and useful racemates. Besides, the application of (i) certain enantiomerically pure amines, either directly or by incorporating each of them as chiral auxiliary in difluorodinitrobenzene or cyanuric chloride moieties to construct the CDR, (ii) (S)-ketoprofen and (S)-levofloxacin as chiral platforms, and (iii) a few isothiocyanates, have been suitably included.

Profenoid drugs are a kind of common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and their chiral enantiomers often have huge differences in pharmacological activities. In this work, a novel chiral separation system by capillary electrophoresis (CE) was constructed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a quasi-stationary phase (QSP), and the enantioseparation of six profenoid drugs was efficiently accomplished. Under optimal chromatographic conditions, the enantioseparation performance of the AuNP@BSA-based chiral separation system was greatly improved compared with that of free BSA (Resolutions, Ibuprofen: 0.

Among inherently chiral selectors of axial stereogenicity, usually resulting in very good enantiodiscrimination performances, the biindole-based family has the additional advantage of very easy functionalization of the two nitrogen atoms with a variety of substituents with desirable properties. Aiming to evaluate the possibility of exploiting such feature to enhance the enantiodiscrimination ability of the archetype structure, a series of three inherently chiral monomers were designed and synthesized, characterised by a 2,2'-biindole atropisomeric core conjugated to bithiophene wings enabling fast and regular electrooligomerization, and functionalised at the nitrogen atoms with an ethyl, a methoxyethyl, or a hydroxyethyl substituent. Nitrogen alkylation was also exploited to obtain for the first time the chemical resolution of the biindole selectors without employing chiral HPLC.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of the potential impurities of dexketoprofen, including the distomer R-ketoprofen. After screening the separation capability of four polysaccharide columns (Lux Amylose-1, Lux Amylose-2, Lux Cellulose-1 and Lux Cellulose-2) in polar organic and in reversed-phase modes, appropriate enantioseparation was observed only on the Lux Amylose-2 column in an acidified acetonitrile/water mixture. A detailed investigation of the mobile phase composition and temperature for enantio- and chemoselectivity showed many unexpected observations.

It poses a growing threat due to its racemic mixture, enantiomers, and transformation products, which have ecotoxicological effects on various organisms, including invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, and microorganisms. Furthermore, ketoprofen is bioaccumulated and biomagnified throughout the food chain, threatening the ecosystem function.
