Mechanism-based inactivation of human recombinant P450 2C9 by the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug suprofen. (1/7)

The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (+ or -)-suprofen [alpha-methyl-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)benzeneacetic acid] was evaluated as a P450 2C9 inactivator. (+ or -)-Suprofen inactivated the diclofenac-4-hydroxylase activity of baculovirus-expressed P450 2C9 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, which was consistent with mechanism-based inactivation. The loss of activity followed pseudo-first-order kinetics and was suprofen- and NADPH-dependent. The kinetic parameters for inactivation kinact and KI were 0.091 min-1 and 3.7 microM, respectively, and the partition ratio was 101. Although P450 2C9 substrate S-warfarin partially protected against inactivation, reactive oxygen scavengers such as superoxide dismutase and catalase did not prevent inactivation. Extensive dialysis did not regenerate enzyme activity, suggesting that inactivation proceeded via covalent modification. Inactivated P450 2C9 lost <10% of its ability to form a CO-reduced complex, suggesting that inactivation may have resulted from covalent modification of apoprotein. Addition of exogenous nucleophiles such as glutathione and semicarbazide partially protected against inactivation. Apart from the metabolism of suprofen to 5-hydroxysuprofen, the formation of a suprofen-glutathione conjugate was also discernible in microsomal mixtures containing glutathione. Time of flight mass spectrometry revealed a protonated monoisotopic mass of 566.1304 for this conjugate, consistent with an elemental composition of C24H28N3O9S2. The mass spectrum indicated that conjugation had occurred on the intact thiophene ring, presumably via a thioether linkage. Further evidence for the formation of an electrophilic intermediate in suprofen-P450 2C9 incubations was obtained via the characterization of a novel pyridazine adduct upon addition of semicarbazide to the microsomal mixtures. The pyridazine derivative had a protonated monoisotopic mass of 257.0895 that was consistent with an elemental composition of C14H13O3N2. The formation of the stable pyridazine adduct suggested the generation of an electrophilic gamma-thioketo-alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde, analogous to that observed during the cytochrome P450-mediated bioactivation of furan. This electrophilic alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde represents a possible reactive intermediate that bioalkylates P450 2C9.  (+info)

A clinical trial in oral surgery of the analgesic efficacy of a suprofen/codeine combination. (3/7)

Suprofen as well as codeine have been shown to be effective analgesics. In this study, a 200-mg suprofen/60-mg codeine dose is scored for analgesic efficacy and safety compared to suprofen (200 mg), codeine (60 mg), and placebo. One hundred sixty-five healthy, adult patients were asked to rate degree of pain experienced over a six-hour period after medication. The combination treatment was found to offer maximum pain relief. Dentists should be aware that flank pain and renal function abnormalities have been reported in postmarketing surveillance.  (+info)

Effect of concurrent topical corticosteroid and NSAID therapy of experimental keratitis. (4/7)

The ability of suprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and prednisolone acetate, a corticosteroid, to suppress polymorphonuclear leukocyte invasion of the rabbit cornea during an experimental keratitis was evaluated following topical ophthalmic administration of either drug alone or both drugs concurrently. Suprofen therapy initiated immediately after induction of inflammation was ineffective. However, if suprofen therapy was begun 48 hr prior to the induction of inflammation, the drug was effective. In contrast, prednisolone acetate therapy begun after the induction of inflammation was effective; 48 hr of pretreatment with the corticosteroid produced a marked increase in its therapeutic effect. When administered according to the same regimen, concurrent therapy with suprofen and prednisolone acetate was significantly more effective than treatment with either drug alone. This result was obtained irrespective of whether concurrent therapy was initiated prior to or after the inflammatory event.  (+info)

Bioavailability and corneal anti-inflammatory effect of topical suprofen. (5/7)

The bioavailability in rabbit cornea and aqueous humor of an ophthalmic formulation of suprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was evaluated following topical administration of a single dose to the eye. The drug penetrated rapidly into the uninflamed cornea with intact epithelium; highest levels occurred during the first 30 to 45 min after instillation and decreased thereafter. The bioavailability of suprofen in cornea and aqueous humor following administration of a 1.0% concentration was twice that produced by a 0.5% concentration of the drug. Topical application of multiple doses of suprofen failed to suppress polymorphonuclear leukocyte invasion of the cornea if treatment was started after the induction of inflammation. Suprofen therapy initiated prior to the induction of corneal inflammation and maintained into the post-inflammation period did produce a significant (P less than 0.01) decrease in the numbers of PMNs that invaded the inflamed cornea. There was no significant difference (P greater than 0.05) in the corneal anti-inflammatory effect achieved by the 0.5% and 1.0% concentrations of suprofen when administered according to this regimen.  (+info)

Effect of (+/-)-2-[p-(2-thenoyl)phenyl] propionic acid (suprofen) on experimental allergic reactions. (6/7)

The effects of (+/-)-2-[p-(2-thenoyl)phenyl] propionic acid (suprofen), a new anti-inflammatory agent, on experimental allergic reaction and antibody formation were examined. The action was compared with those of ketoprofen, ibuprofen, indomethacin, tranilast, chlorpheniramine, prednisolone and/or cyclophosphamide. Suprofen inhibited homologous PCA in rats, immunological histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells and guinea pig lung tissues, Forssman cutaneous vasculitis (FCV) and the Arthus reaction in guinea pigs. The potency for inhibition of the PCA reaction was similar to that of ketoprofen and more potent than ibuprofen and trailast. As for the release of anaphylactic mediators, suprofen was less potent than tranilast in terms of histamine release, but not the release of the slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A). Suprofen inhibited FCA more potently than other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). The inhibition of the Arthus reaction by suprofen was similar to those of other NSAID and prednisolone. Suprofen hardly affected delayed hypersensitivity in guinea pigs and antibody (IgM or IgE) formation in mice or rats.  (+info)

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and endotoxin induced uveitis. (7/7)

Suprofen eye drop was instilled into one eye of 10 pigmented rabbits and then anterior uveitis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin of Shigella flexneri serotype 1A to evaluate the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug on endotoxin induced uveitis. The pupillary diameters were measured, and aqueous cell and flare gradings were recorded in 20 eyes of 10 rabbits for one week at an interval of 12 hours for the first 24 hours and then every 24 hours for a week. A difference between the treated and control groups were investigated. All the above parameters showed greatest changes at 12 or 24 hours after injection and became normal by one week. The two groups demonstrated statistically significant difference at 12 hours, day 1 and day 2 as for pupillary diameter, at day 1 and day 2 as for cell and at 12 hours and day 1 as for flare. Thus, it can be concluded that prostaglandins play a role in miosis, in the appearance of inflammatory cells and flare in endotoxin induced uveitis and the topical administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug can alleviate signs of anterior uveitis. Specific relationship between leukotriene B4 and aqueous cell was not demonstrated.  (+info)
