Usage

Description

Propanoic acid, 2-(acetyloxy)-, (2R)-, commonly known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is widely used for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It functions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in transmitting pain signals in the body. Ibuprofen is available over-the-counter and can be found in various forms such as tablets, capsules, and topical gels.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Propanoic acid, 2-(acetyloxy)-, (2R)is used as an analgesic for relieving pain associated with conditions such as headaches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and muscle aches. It is also used as an antipyretic to reduce fever and as an anti-inflammatory agent to alleviate inflammation in conditions like arthritis.
Used in Over-the-Counter Medications:
Ibuprofen is used as an active ingredient in various over-the-counter medications for its ability to provide quick relief from pain, fever, and inflammation. It is a popular choice due to its accessibility and effectiveness in managing mild to moderate pain and discomfort.

Vancomycin binding to low-affinity ligands: Delineating a minimum set of interactions necessary for high-affinity binding

Bacterial resistance to vancomycin has been attributed to the loss of an intermolecular hydrogen bond between vancomycin and its peptidoglycan target when cell wall biosynthesis proceeds via depsipeptide intermediates rather than the usual polypeptide int

Stereoisomeric lactoyl β methylcholine iodides. Interaction with cholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase

The preparation and absolute configuration of the stereoisomeric forms of lactoyl β methylcholine iodide with the 2 racemic forms of the molecule are reported. None of the stereoisomers were substrates for the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, whereas two stereoisomers (L lactoyl β methylcholine and D lactoyl L β methylcholine iodide) were poor substrates for cholinesterase. Results are analyzed in the light of previous studies of the chiral requirements of these 2 enzymes and an attempt is made to define the rate limiting or prohibited step in the enzyme catalyzed reaction with these compounds.

A simple procedure for the synthesis of enantiopure α-acetoxy ketones

Cross-coupling reactions of α-acetoxy carboxylic acid chlorides with organocopper reagents, derived from Grignard reagents, cuprous bromide and lithium bromide, provide a simple and straightforward method for the synthesis of enantiopure α-acetoxy ketones.

Modifying oligoalanine conformation by replacement of amide to ester linkage

Oligo(lactic acid) is an ester-analogue of short oligoalanine sequence and adopts a rigid left-handed helical structure. In this study, oligo(lactic acid) was incorporated into oligoalanine sequences and their conformations were studied by vibrational circular dichroism and electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. The results suggested that oligo(lactic acid) moiety in these sequences maintains a left-handed helix and increases the conformational propensity of the oligoalanine moiety to form a left-handed polyproline type II-like helix. The importance of the chirality of oligo(lactic acid) moiety for the oligoalanine conformation was also studied. The results obtained in this study should be useful in developing ester-containing oligopeptides that function better than normal peptides.
