:2-Naphthalen-2-yl-propionic acid
Description:
2-Naphthalen-2-yl-propionic acid, also known as naproxen, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) characterized by its ability to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever. It features a naphthalene ring structure substituted with a propionic acid group, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. The compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in water and higher solubility in organic solvents. Its molecular structure allows it to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. 2-Naphthalen-2-yl-propionic acid is commonly used in the treatment of various conditions, including arthritis, menstrual pain, and other inflammatory disorders. Additionally, it has a relatively long half-life, allowing for less frequent dosing compared to some other analgesics. As with many NSAIDs, potential side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort and cardiovascular risks, necessitating careful consideration in patients with pre-existing conditions.

CAS:<p>Naphthalen-2-ylpropanoic acid is a molecule that is used as an oral drug. It is a potentiator of opioid analgesics and has been shown to inactivate some types of bacterial cells. Naphthalen-2-ylpropanoic acid binds to the naphthol group of β-lactam antibiotics, which leads to their inactivation by covalent binding. This compound also inhibits the production of acetaminophen, which may be due to its inhibition of glutathione reductase enzymes. Naphthalen-2-ylpropanoic acid has been found to be safe for use in infants and children, as well as for adults, with no significant adverse effects observed at therapeutic doses.</p>Formula:C13H12O2Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:200.23 g/mol
