2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoic 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 carboxylic acid functional group and a hydroxyl group, which contribute to its biological activity. The compound is characterized by its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation. It is typically administered orally and is well-absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The substance is generally considered safe when used as directed, but it can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort and, in some cases, cardiovascular issues with long-term use. Its solubility in organic solvents and moderate solubility in water make it suitable for various pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, 2-Hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoic acid is often included in over-the-counter medications for pain relief and fever reduction, highlighting its significance in both clinical and consumer health contexts.
