Ketoprofen plasters of 70 cm(2) size using DuroTak acrylic adhesive polymers were developed either containing 30 mg (Ketotop-L) or 60 mg drug (Ketotop-P). The in vitro skin permeation profile was obtained in hairless mouse skin and showed the permeation rate of Ketotop-P to be twice that of Ketotop-L. The plasma concentration profile of ketoprofen was determined in Sprague-Dawley rats after applying a 3 x 3 cm(2) plaster. AUC(0-24h) and C(max) of Ketotop-P were 260.92 microg.h/ml and 25.09 microg/ml, respectively, which were about twice the values of Ketotop-L. The hind paw edema induced by carrageenan injection was measured for 6 h after applying a 2 x 2 cm(2) plaster, and the area under the time-response curve (AUR) value was significantly lower in Ketotop-P attached rats (180.70%.h) than in those with the Ketotop-L (298.65%.h) and the control (407.04%.h) groups, indicating a stronger anti-inflammatory action of Ketotop-P. However, the analgesic effect of the two formulations did not show a statistically significant difference. In conclusion, Ketotop-P was able to achieve higher plasma concentration of ketoprofen, thereby exhibiting higher and more constant anti-inflammatory effect compared with Ketotop-L.

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Ketoprofen Plaster and Diclofenac Plaster for Osteoarthritis-Related Knee Pain: A Multicenter, Randomized, Active-Controlled, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Phase III Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of ketoprofen plasters and diclofenac plasters after 3 weeks of administration in patients with osteoarthritis-related knee pain.
Methods: This multicenter, randomized, active-controlled, open-label, parallel-group, noninferiority phase III study randomized 236 adults with osteoarthritis-related knee pain for 3 weeks with ketoprofen plaster 30 mg twice daily (n = 118) or diclofenac plaster 15 mg once daily (n = 118). The primary efficacy end point was the mean change from baseline to week 3 in the mean knee pain intensity score during walking, as measured by a 100-mm visual analog scale with a predefined noninferiority margin of 10.
Analgesic effect of S (+)-flurbiprofen plaster in a rat model of knee arthritis: analysis of gait and synovial fluid prostaglandin E levels.

Institute for Integrated Sports Medicine, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: We developed S (+)-flurbiprofen plaster (SFPP), a novel NSAID patch containing S (+)-flurbiprofen (SFP), a potent cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy of SFPP by analysing its effect on the gait disturbance and measuring the prostaglandin E (PGE ) production in synovial fluid in a rat model of knee arthritis.
Methods: Knee inflammation was induced in rats by intra-articular injection of a yeast suspension.

Background: Topical analgesic drugs are used for a variety of painful conditions. Some are acute, typically strains or sprains, tendinopathy, or muscle aches. Others are chronic, typically osteoarthritis of hand or knee, or neuropathic pain.

Preclinical Research The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of multiple applications of S(+)-flurbiprofen plaster (SFPP), a novel Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) patch, for the alleviation of inflammatory pain and edema in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) model as compared to other NSAID patches. The AIA model was induced by the injection of Mycobacterium butyricum and rats were treated with a patch (1.0 cm × 0.

Background: Use of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions has become widely accepted because they can provide pain relief without associated systemic adverse events. This review is an update of 'Topical NSAIDs for chronic musculoskeletal pain in adults', originally published in Issue 9, 2012.
Objectives: To review the evidence from randomised, double-blind, controlled trials on the efficacy and safety of topically applied NSAIDs for chronic musculoskeletal pain in adults.
