Suprofen is an arylpropionic acid analgesic/antiinflammatory agent with close structural resemblance to ketoprofen. It is more potent in many assays than indomethacin and ketoprofen and appears better tolerated.

Suprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent similar to flurbiprofen. Suprofen and flurbiprofen are phenylalkanoic acids that inhibit the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes responsible for conversion of arachadonic acid from cell membranes into various prostaglandins. These prostaglandins mediate certain aspects of ocular inflammation including disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier, uveal vasodilation, increases in intraocular pressure, and leakage of white blood cells and protein from uveal vessels into the aqueous humor. Prostaglandins cause iris sphincter constriction (miosis) independent of cholinergic mechanisms. Suprofen can inhibit this intraocular miosis and may also be useful in the management of uveal inflammation (usually in addition to topical steroids).
