Abstrakt: Human blood monocytes were incubated in vitro with ibuprofen, naproxen, and indomethacin at clinially relevant concentrations and were subsequently tested for chemotactic responsiveness In a modified Boyden chamber with zymosan-activated serum as the chemotactic agent. Ibuprofen and naproxen Inhibited monocyte chemotaxis at concentrations above 25 μg/ml. The inhibition was dose dependent end a 50% inhibition (ID50) was seen at 70 and 62 μ/ml. respectively. Indomethacin inhibited monocyte chemotaxis at concentration above 1 μg/ml, but never reached ID50. It is concluded that the suppression of blood monocyte migration (ID50) is not a general property of all nonsteroidal antilriflammatory drugs.
