Pelubiprofen, 2-[4-(Oxocyclohexylidene methyl)phenyl]propionic acid, is one of the 2-arylpropionic acid class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It has wide variety of indications proposed: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, post-operative trauma, backache, neck-shoulder syndrome and dental pain. Pelubiprofen is a prodrug of 2-arylpropionic acid with relatively selective effects on cyclooxygenase-2 activity. Antiinflammatory properties of pelubiprofen are due to its ability to both decrease prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting the activities of cyclooxygenases (COXs) and IkB kinase-b (IKK-b). Pelubiprofen was found to have an anti-edema effect in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats, one of the well-established acute inflammatory models in vivo. Pelubiprofen was well tolerated in single doses up to 120mg and at a dosage of 180 mg/day. No drug accumulation was evident, suggesting that it may be useful for long term treatment.

In Vitro Use Guide

RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cell line. Pelubiprofen potently diminished PGE2 productions through inhibition of COX enzyme activity (IC50 values for COX-1 and COX-2 are 10.66 +/-0.99 and 2.88 +/-1.01 uM, respectively), but also reduced the expressions of COX-2, inducible nitric oxide (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-1b (IL-1b), and IL-6 at transcriptional level in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Pelubiprofen attenuated the LPS-induced transcription activity and the DNA binding activity of NF-kB, which was accompanied by a parallel reduction of degradation and phosphorylation of inhibitory kappa B-a (IkB-a) and consequently by decreased nuclear translocation of NF-kB. Pelubipofen inhibited the LPS-induced phosphorylation of IKK-b and transforming growth factor-b activated kinase-1 (TAK1).
