Description

Ketoprofene is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the arylpropionic acid class, widely recognized for its potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the formulation of various pain management and anti-inflammatory medications. This compound is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions developing treatments for conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, and post-operative inflammation. Ketoprofene CAS NO 22161-86-0 is supplied in high-purity grades to meet stringent pharmacopeial standards for global pharmaceutical production.

Application

• Primary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in oral solid dosage forms (e.g., tablets, capsules).
• Formulation of topical preparations such as gels, creams, and patches for localized pain relief.
• Manufacturing of sustained-release and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Use in veterinary pharmaceuticals for managing pain and inflammation in animals.
• Critical raw material in pharmaceutical research and development for new NSAID formulations.
• Reference standard in analytical laboratories for quality control and method validation.

Quality Control

Our Ketoprofene is manufactured and tested to meet or exceed the stringent requirements of major international pharmacopeias, including USP, EP, and BP. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing for identity, purity, and potency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting results for assay, related substances, residual solvents, and other critical parameters. Our quality management system is designed to ensure consistent supply and full traceability, supporting our clients' regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use.
