In the present study, prodrug of ketoprofen was synthesized and evaluated in vitro to optimize the prodrug, and in vivo to observe the reduction in gastrointestinal disturbance and enhanced colonic anti-inflammatory potential for the prodrug. The prodrug was synthesized by coupling ketoprofen with L-glycine (KET-GLY). In vitro reversion of KET-GLY to ketoprofen was carried out in different pHs and in pH 6.8 containing optimized rat fecal material. In vivo healing potential of KET-GLY was evaluated in acetic acid-induced experimental colitis model. In vitro reversion studies suggested that KET-GLY remained intact in stomach but released the free drug at pH 6.8 containing fresh rat fecal material, where the colonic microfloral enzymes (amidase) hydrolyzed the KET-GLY amide linkage, releasing the free drug. In vivo evaluation indicated KET-GLY to be less toxic in stomach, with enhanced anti-inflammatory potential in the colonic region. These findings suggested KET-GLY to be better in action compared with the parent drug.
