How effective are Peon tablets 80 mg from Japan for pain and iflammation (zaltoprofen, Zaxoprofen, Soleton)?

Studies of Japanese scientists showed that zaltoprofen is more potent than many other COX inhibitors, including meloxicam, etodolac, mofezolac, indomethacin and loxoprofen sodium, because of its inhibitory action on the nociceptive responses induced by a retrograde infusion of bradykinin (K. Hirate, A. Uchida et al. “Zaltoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, inhibits bradykinin-induced pain responses without blocking bradykinin receptors”. Neuroscience research, 2006, (4): 288-94).
