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. (S)-Ibuprofen is an enantiomer that more potently inhibits COX activity, thromboxane formation, and platelet aggregation than the (R)-form.{27415,27418} (S)-Ibuprofen also inhibits activation of NF-?B more effectively than (R)-ibuprofen (IC50s = 62 and 122 µM, respectively).{6935} However, the enantiomers are equipotent in blocking superoxide formation, ?-glucuronidase release, and LTB4 generation by stimulated neutrophils (IC50 values range from 0.14 to 0.58 µM).{27418} A majority of (R)-ibuprofen can be inverted to (S)-ibuprofen in humans after oral administration.{27417,1208,27416}
