Abstract

A study on absorption and elimination in the urine of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-propiohydroxamic acid (ibuproxam, Ibudros) (400 mg film tablets) after administration to healthy volunteers is reported. In the plasma, only a minimum concentration of ibuproxam as such could be found: instead its chief metabolite ibuprofen mainly present, with top peaks at 45 min. The maximum ibuprofen concentration in the plasma--when obtained through metabolization of ibuproxam--is significantly higher than after administration of an equal dose of ibuprofen. This phenomenon is related to the chemico-physical characteristics of the two compounds.
