Electrochemical behavior and determination of ketoprofen at glassy--carbon electrode

Abstract

Ketoprofen (2-(3-benzoylphenyl)-propionic acid) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic actions, that make it valuable in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and to relieve mild to moderate pain (Medina-López, Vara-Gama, Soria-Arteche, Moreno-Rocha, & López-Muñoz, 2018) . The widespread and growing medical application needs to be followed by the development of analytical techniques for detection of ketoprofen traces in various body fluids or wastewaters.
