Biological activities

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Ibuprofen is used for pain relief, fever reduction. Ibuprofen prevents the constitutive activation of NF-kappaB and IKKalpha in PC-3 and DU-145 cells. Ibuprofen blocks stimulated activation of NF-kappaB in LNCaP cells.[1] Ibuprofen inhibits anandamide deamidation at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, with a Ki of 82 µM.[2] Ibuprofen exists as an R(-)- and S(+)-enantiomer. R(-)-ibuprofen blocks the activation of NF-κB in response to T-cell stimulation with an IC50 of 121.8 µM. In contrast, the S(+)-enantiomer prevents activation of NF-κB in response to T-cell stimulation with an IC50 of 61.7 µM.[3] Ibuprofen decreases iNOS protein levels. Ibuprofen inhibits PGE2 formation.[4] Ibuprofen inhibits thromboxane B2 (TXB2)-release induced by calcium ionophore in human platelets with an IC50 of 1.27 µM.[5] Ibuprofen (1-3.75 mg/kg) produces an optimal survival rate of 80% compared to only 11% in the vehicle-treated group. Ibuprofen also significantly improves survival over nontreated shocked controls.[6]
