Bioactivity | Ibuprofen ((±)-Ibuprofen) sodium is an orally active, selective COX-1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 13 μM. Ibuprofen sodium inhibits cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and induces cell apoptosis. Ibuprofen sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent and a nitric oxide (NO) donor. Ibuprofen sodium can be used in the research of pain, swelling, inflammation, infection, immunology, cancers[1][2][5][8]. |
Invitro | Ibuprofen sodium (24 h) inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 activity with IC50 values of 13 μM and 370 μM[1].Ibuprofen sodium (500 μM, 48 h) inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and induces apoptosis in AGS cells (Adenocarcinoma gastric cell line)[2].Ibuprofen sodium (500 μM, 48 h) downregulates transcription of Akt, VEGF-A, PCNA, Bcl2, OCT3/4 and CD44 genes, but upregulates RNA levels of wild type P53 and Bax genes in AGS cell[2].Ibuprofen sodium (500 μM, 24 h) restores microtubule reformation, microtubule-dependent intracellular cholesterol transport, and induces extension of microtubules to the cell periphery in both cystic fibrosis (CF) cell models and primary CF nasal epithelial cells[3].Ibuprofen sodium (500 μM, 24 h) enhances UV-induced cell death in MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells by a photosensitization process[4].

In Vivo | Ibuprofen sodium (fed in animal feedings, 300 mg/kg, 14 days) reduces overall tumor growth and enhances anti-tumor immune characteristics without adverse autoimmune reactions in a model of postpartum breast cancer[5].Ibuprofen sodium (subcutaneous injection, 60 mg/kg, every second day for 15 days) reduces the risk of neuropathy in a rat model of chronic Oxaliplatin‑induced peripheral neuropathy[6].Ibuprofen sodium (oral administration, 20 mg/kg, every 12 hours, 5 doses total) decreases muscle growth (average muscle fiber cross-sectional area) without affecting regulation of supraspinatus tendon adaptions to exercise[7].Ibuprofen sodium (oral administration, 35 mg/kg, twice daily) attenuates the Inflammatory response to pseudomonas aeruginosa in a rat model of chronic pulmonary infection[8].
