In the last 7 years, we have studied 123 patients with allergic reactions to topical arylpropionic anti-inflammatory drugs. We have investigated the rate of sensitization and the irritant potential of one of them, ketoprofen, and its cross-reactivity with such other derivatives as ibuproxam, ibuprofen, naproxen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, and thiaprofenic acid. Sensitization was single in most cases, and ketoprofen was the drug most often involved. The combination most frequently found was ketoprofen plus ibuproxam. The most frequent cross-reactions were to fragrance mix, especially cinnamic aldehyde and balsam of Peru, both contact and photocontact sensitizers. Because there is a ketonic group in the molecule of ketoprofen and cinnamic aldehyde and after conversion of thiaprofenic acid, this could be the trigger for this particular allergy and cross-reactivity.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
