(S)-(+)-2-Methoxy-2-(1-Naphthyl)Propionic Acid

Description:

(S)-(+)-2-Methoxy-2-(1-Naphthyl)Propionic Acid, commonly referred to as Naproxen, is a chiral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic and antipyretic properties. This compound features a methoxy group and a naphthyl moiety, contributing to its pharmacological activity. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. The (S)-enantiomer is the active form, known for its effectiveness in treating conditions such as arthritis, menstrual pain, and other inflammatory disorders. The compound is typically administered in its racemic form, but the (S)-enantiomer is primarily responsible for its therapeutic effects. In terms of physical properties, it is generally a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. Its stability and efficacy make it a widely used medication in both prescription and over-the-counter formulations. As with all NSAIDs, it is important to consider potential side effects, including gastrointestinal issues and cardiovascular risks.

(S)-2-Methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid

CAS: 102691-93-0

(S)-2-Methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid is a chiral molecule that can exist in two different forms, each of which has the same physical and chemical properties. The two enantiomers are not optically active, meaning they have the same degree of rotation when passed through a polarizing filter. It is an organic compound that is used as a flavoring agent in food chemistry and as a bioactive compound. (S)-2-Methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid also has been shown to function as an attractant for hemipteran insects such as mosquitoes, although it is not clear if this property is due to its aromatic or enantiomeric structure.
