Pharmacological aspects of chiral nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs

Abstract: Most NSAIDs are chiral molecules: they exist under 2 configurations of non-superimposable mirror images which are termed enantiomers or optical isomers or optical antipodes. Direct or indirect (resolution) methods are used to separate this equal mixture of compounds. Some of the enantiomers of the NSAIDs are able to undergo chiral inversion from the inactive R(-) to the active S(+) form. The pharmacokinetics in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism, protein binding and elimination may be different for … Show more

“…The R( -) enantiomer can, however, have analgesic effects, as demonstrated with flurbiprofen (Brune et al 1991). The pharmacokinetic characteristics of the enantiomers usually observed after administration of a racemic mixture differ for some of these drugs (ibuprofen, etodolac, flurbiprofen), while both enantiomers of other compounds present an identical behaviour (ketoprofen) [Jamali 1988;Muller et al 1990]. Furthermore, in some species, the R form of several NSAIDs could undergo unidirectional metabolic inversion to its S mirror-image, by action of a stereospecific enzyme, acety1coenzyme Athioesterase.…”

“…Physiologic characteristics such as metabolic profile (Knihinicki et al, 1990;Rudy et al, 1991), protein binding in serum (Lagrange et al, 2000;Nagao et al, 2003), plasma concentrations (Foster and Jamali, 1988;Geisslinger et al, 1993Geisslinger et al, , 1994Patel et al, 2003), as well as pharmacologic effects (Muller et al, 1990), differ among enantiomers. Accordingly, the effect of NSAIDs and NSAIDs-Glu on the renal excretion of MTX probably differs among enantiomers or diastereomers.…”

“…The NSAIDs are classified into different groups based on their chemical structure and mechanism of action (Table 1). NSAIDs are generally chiral molecules (except diclofenac), but mostly a single enantiomer is pharmacologically active [26]. …”
