S-(+)-Ketoprofen ((S)-(+)-Ketoprofen) works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. It belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or certain diseases and would otherwise go on to cause swelling, inflammation and pain. By blocking cyclo-oxygenase, S-(+)-Ketoprofen prevents the production of prostaglandins and therefore reduces inflammation and pain. Along with Peripheral analgesic action it possesses central analgesic action.S-(+)-Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is manufactured by Menarini, under the tradename Keral. It is available in the UK, as S-(+)-Ketoprofen trometamol, as a prescription-only drug and in Latin America as Miracox, produced by Stein in Costa Rica. In Italy it is available as an over the counter-drug under the tradename Enantyum. In Lithuania it is available as over the counter-drug uder tradename Dolmen.

(S)-Ketoprofen-d3 is a deuterated compound of (S)-Ketoprofen. (S)-Ketoprofen has a CAS number of 22161-81-5. Dexketoprofen works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. It belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or certain diseases and would otherwise go on to cause swelling, inflammation and pain. By blocking cyclo-oxygenase,  dexketoprofen prevents the production of prostaglandins and therefore reduces inflammation and pain.

(R)-Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits oral activity and analgesic properties. Unlike its counterpart, (R)-Ketoprofen does not significantly enhance the increase of inflammatory cytokines (such as Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Interleukin-1 (IL-1)) induced by LPS. However, it can inhibit the anti-inflammatory activity of (S)-Ketoprofen.

Ketoprofen lysine salt is a lysine salt of ketoprofen, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug

Ketoprofen (RP-19583) is a propionic acid derivative and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase I and II, decreasing the formation of prostaglandin and thromboxane precursors. This reduction in prostaglandin synthesis, mediated by prostaglandin synthase, is responsible for its therapeutic effects. Additionally, Ketoprofen decreases thromboxane A2 formation via thromboxane synthase, inhibiting platelet aggregation.
