General description

(S)-(+)-Ibuprofen is the enantiomer associated with the anti-inflammatory action of ibuprofen, which is widely used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug in racemic form.

Application

(S)-(+)-Ibuprofen may be used as a starting material to synthesize hydrogelators with the potential ability to release it via enzyme-mediated hydrolysis.
Enantiomeric form of the anti-inflammatory agent ibuprofen used in pharmacokinetic studies.

Following our previous research on anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), we report on the design and synthesis of 4-(aryloyl)phenyl methyl sulfones. These substances were characterized for their capacity to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) isoenzymes. Molecular modeling studies showed that the methylsulfone
