4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)benzoic acid

Description:

4-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)benzoic acid, also known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It features a benzoic acid core with a hydroxypropan-2-yl group at the para position, contributing to its biological activity. The molecular structure includes a carboxylic acid functional group, which enhances its solubility in polar solvents. Ibuprofen is typically administered orally and is effective in treating pain, fever, and inflammation. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), leading to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. The substance is generally well-tolerated, though it can cause gastrointestinal side effects and should be used with caution in individuals with certain health conditions. Its pharmacokinetics involve rapid absorption and metabolism, with a relatively short half-life, necessitating multiple doses for sustained therapeutic effects.
