Product Information

• Name: 2-[4-(2-Methylpropenyl)phenyl]propionic acid
• Synonyms: 2-{[4-(2-Methyl-1-propenyl)phenyl]}propionic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-[4-(2-Methylpropenyl)phenyl]propionic acid is an analgesic and antipyretic agent. It has been shown to have antiinflammatory properties, which are mediated through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. This agent binds to the enzyme cyclooxygenase and inhibits the biosynthesis of prostaglandins that are responsible for inflammation. 2-[4-(2-Methylpropenyl)phenyl]propionic acid also has optical antipyretic activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the release of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid in the hypothalamus. The optical antipyretic activity is most likely due to the enantiomers that this drug contains. 2-[4-(2-Methylpropenyl)phenyl]propionic acid has a pharmacologic profile that includes analgesic and antipyretic activities.END>>
