Ibuprofen

동의어: 2-(4-Isobutylphenyl)propionic acid, p-Isobutylhydratropic acid, (±)-Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Brufen, Nuprin, 15687-27-1

Ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative and one of the most widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the world. First synthesized by Boots in the 1960s, it remains a staple in both prescription and over-the-counter medicine for its reliable analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. The compound is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, with the S(+)-form responsible for the majority of its pharmacological activity.

Chemically, ibuprofen is a small lipophilic molecule that acts by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), thereby reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Its relatively simple structure and well-characterized safety profile have made it a benchmark NSAID for pain and inflammation management, from headaches and dental pain to arthritis and soft tissue injuries.

For pharmaceutical manufacturers, ibuprofen is supplied as a high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that meets current pharmacopeial monographs (USP/EP/BP). It is available in various particle sizes and grades to suit different formulation needs, including immediate-release tablets, suspensions, and topical gels. Our material is produced under cGMP conditions and comes with full regulatory documentation to support your product development and commercial production.

Function & Mechanism

• COX inhibition: Reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and thereby lowering pain, fever, and inflammation.
• Analgesic effect: Effective against mild to moderate pain, including headache, dental, and musculoskeletal pain.
• Antipyretic action: Acts on the hypothalamus to reset the body’s temperature set point during fever.
• Anti-inflammatory activity: Reduces swelling and joint stiffness, particularly useful in arthritis and soft tissue injuries.
• Platelet function: Reversibly inhibits platelet aggregation, but with shorter duration than aspirin.
