CAS 7782-24-3: (+)-2-Phenylpropionic acid
Description:(+)-2-Phenylpropionic acid, also known as ibuprofen, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is characterized by its chiral nature, existing as a single enantiomer, which contributes to its pharmacological activity. The molecular formula of (+)-2-Phenylpropionic acid is C15H16O2, and it features a phenyl group attached to a propionic acid moiety. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid with moderate solubility in water and higher solubility in organic solvents. Its mechanism of action primarily involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. In addition to its therapeutic uses, (+)-2-Phenylpropionic acid is also studied for its potential side effects, including gastrointestinal irritation and cardiovascular risks, particularly with long-term use. Overall, its effectiveness and relatively favorable safety profile make it a widely used medication in various clinical settings.
