The stereoselectivity of release of ketoprofen (KET) enantiomers from a biodegradable injectable implant containing racemic KET ( rac ‐KET) was investigated in vivo. A pre‐column chiral derivatization RP‐HPLC method was employed to assay diastereoisomeric derivatives of R ‐ and S ‐KET. The rac ‐KET injectable implant, once injected subcutaneously in rats, produced long‐lasting plasma levels of S ‐KET, which were always greater than those of R ‐KET. The difference in enantiomer concentration was to be related to stereoselective release, due to stereoselective interaction between D , L ‐PLG in the implant and KET enantiomers, as well as the chiral inversion of KET in vivo. The rac ‐KET injectable implant provided the sustained release of S ‐KET with effective plasma levels maintained for about 8 wk after a single injection. Chirality 2007. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
