General description
Ibuprofen is a commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing properties. It can hinder the effectiveness of various antihypertensive medications, including β-adrenergic blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and diuretics. Ibuprofen exists in an unbound state in cerebrospinal fluid and is accumulated in the synovial fluid of inflamed joints in arthritis patients.[1]
Application
Ibuprofen has been used:
- to study its vascular and pulmonary effects on neonatal lung development[2]
- to study its effects on cell apoptosis, cell proliferation, and histology changes in human cholangiocarcinoma cell lines[3]
- in the preparation of a terpene-based therapeutic deep eutectic system (THEDES) to investigate its physicochemical, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties[4]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor that has greater activity against COX-1 than against COX-2.
