2-(4-propylphenyl)propanoic acid

Description:

2-(4-Propylphenyl)propanoic acid, also known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is characterized by its propanoic acid backbone, which features a propyl group attached to a phenyl ring at the para position. This structural arrangement contributes to its effectiveness in inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation. The compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, with moderate solubility in water and higher solubility in organic solvents. Its melting point and boiling point are indicative of its stability under standard conditions. Ibuprofen is widely used in both prescription and over-the-counter formulations, making it one of the most commonly utilized medications for pain relief and inflammation management. Additionally, it has a well-established safety profile when used as directed, although it may cause gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects in certain populations.
