Description

• General description: Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Flurbiprofen is a non-selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is widely used against rheumatoid arthritis. It is also effective against vernal keratoconjunctivitis, post-operative ocular inflammation, herpetic stromal keratitis, excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy and ocular gingivitis.[1]
• Application: Flurbiprofen may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples[2][3] by various analytical techniques.[1][2][3][4]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Fluibiprofen is a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, which is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) and PGG2 to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) in the prostaglandin synthesis pathway. This decreases the prostaglandins which cause inflammation, pain, swelling and fever. Flurbiprofen inhibits the activity of both COX-1 and -2. The S enantiomer inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and has both anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, while the R enantiomer does not inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and displays only analgesic activity.
• Analysis Note: These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available.
• Other Notes: This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
