The Uses of Pranoprofen
Pranoprofen is an anti-inflammatory used in ophthalmology.
What are the applications of Application
Pranoprofen is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory
Definition
ChEBI: Pranoprofen is a pyridochromene.
Manufacturing Process
A mixture of 100 g of ethyl 2-cyano-2-(5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]-pyridin-7yl)propionate, 500 ml of glacial acetic acid and 200 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid is refluxed for 48 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated, and the residue is dissolved in hot water. The solution is adjusted to pH 2 to 3 by addition of 10% sodium hydroxide. The resulting crystalline precipitate is washed thoroughly with water, and recrystallized from aqueous dioxane to give 74 g of 2-(5H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3-b]-pyridin-7yl)propionic acid as white crystals melting at 183°C to 183.5°C.
Therapeutic Function
Analgesic, Antiinflammatory
General Description
Pranoprofen is an arylalkanoic acid and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pranoprofen is used in eyes to treat chronic allergic conjunctivitis. It is also used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug after strabismus surgery.
