Ketorolac (RS37619) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), acting as a nonselective COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 20 nM for COX-1 and 120 nM for COX-2. Ketorolac tromethamine is used as 0.5% ophthalmic solution for the research of allergic conjunctivitis, cystoid macular edema, intraoperative miosis, and postoperative ocular inflammation and pain. Ketorolac tromethamine is also a DDX3 inhibitor that can be used for cancer research.
Ketorolac (RS37619) salt (0-30 μM
48 h) effectively kills the oral cancer cells[4]. Ketorolac salt (0-5 μM
48 h) inhibits the expression of DDX3 protein, and induces apoptosis in H357 cells[4]. Ketorolac salt (0-2.5 μM
0-16 h) inhibits the proliferation of oral cancer cells[4]. Ketorolac salt (0-50 μM) directly interacts with DDX3 and inhibits the ATPase activity[4].
Ketorolac (RS37619) (0.4% ketorolac tromethamine ophthalmic solution) shows powerful ocular anti-inflammatory activities in rabbits[1]. Ketorolac (4 mg/kg/day, p.o.
2 weeks) has no detrimental effect in the volume fraction of bone trabeculae formed inside the alveolar socket in rats[2]. Ketorolac (60 μg
intrathecal injection
once) attenuates the damage caused by spinal cord ischemia in rats[3]. Ketorolac salt (20 and 30 mg/kg
i.p.
two times in a week for 3 weeks) reduces oral carcinogenesis in mice[4].
