Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with diverse biochemical actions, most notably inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 (IC50s = 2.6 and 1.53 µM, respectively).{1286} It is commonly synthesized as a racemic mixture of (S) and (R) isomers (Item No. item 70280). (R)-Ibuprofen is an enantiomer that is generally not considered a COX inhibitor and is instead thought to be involved in pathways of lipid metabolism as it is incorporated into triglycerides along with fatty acids.{27416} The (R) enantiomer can, however, inhibit NF-?B activation (IC50 = 121.8 µM) in response to T-cell stimulation as well as block superoxide formation, ?-glucuronidase release, and LTB4 generation by stimulated neutrophils (IC50 values range from 40-100 µM).{6935,27418} 50-60% of (R)-ibuprofen is inverted to (S)-ibuprofen (Item No. 16793) in humans after oral administration.{27416,27417,10032}
