Twelve healthy male subjects participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, three-period, crossover study to investigate the safety, tolerability, biochemical activity and pharmacokinetics of ibuprofen, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor and MK-0591, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, given as single entities and in combination. Each subject received for three consecutive 8-day periods, separated by 1 week washout, each of the following treatments: ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day with 125 mg MK-0591 twice a day, ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day with placebo for MK-0591 and MK-0591 125 mg twice a day with placebo for ibuprofen. Cyclooxygenase inhibition was measured by platelet thromboxane (TxB2) generation test, and 5-lipoxygenase inhibition was measured by urinary leukotriene E4 excretion and ex vivo LTB4 generation in calcium-ionophore-stimulated blood. TxB2 suppression on day 8 by ibuprofen was not affected by concomitant treatment with MK-0591. MK-0591 alone had no effect on TxB2 generation. Leukotriene biosynthesis was inhibited by more than 90% by MK-0591 alone and by combined treatment, while ibuprofen alone had no effect. Coadministration appears to affect the pharmacokinetics of MK-0591 (decrease of area under the plasma concentration-vs-time curve [AUC] and maximum plasma concentrations [Cmax]) and of ibuprofen (increase of AUC and half-lives of elimination (t1/2) of the (S)-enantiomer, increase of t1/2 the (R)-enantiomer). Combined treatment had no effect on creatinine clearance nor on the number and intensity of the reported adverse experiences.
