General description

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drug, which finds a variety of therapeutic applications in relieving pain and inflammatory disorders.

Application

Ibuprofen has been used as a test compound in studying its removal from aqueous solutions via adsorption on titanium dioxide based multi-walled carbon nanotube membranes. It is also used as an external reference standard in order to validate the purity of the macro-cyclic peptides, an emerging therapeutic drug modality, using nuclear magnetic resonance technique (NMR).
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor that has greater activity against COX-1 than against COX-2.
