title: Inhibition of ornithine-decarboxylase produced by S(+) and R(-) ibuprofen in rats.
abstract: The differences between the S(+) and R(-) ibuprofen enantiomers in anti-inflammatory activity were assayed by measuring the release of 14CO2 in rats treated with labelled 14COOH-ornithine. Furthermore we investigated in vitro the inhibitory activity on ornithine-decarboxylase and the anti-inflammatory activity of R(-) and S(+) ibuprofen by using the carrageenin-induced paw oedema test in the rat.
