Ibuprofen Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

description

Ibuprofen belongs to a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic. It has excellent anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect with less adverse reactions. It has been widely used in the world, as the world's best-selling non-prescription drugs. It, together with aspirin and paracetamol are listed as the three key antipyretic analgesics products. In our country, it is mainly used in pain alleviation and anti-rheumatism, etc. It has much less applications in the treatment of cold and fever compared with paracetamol and aspirin. There are a dozens of pharmaceutical companies qualified for production of ibuprofen in China. But the bulk of the domestic market sales of ibuprofen have been occupied by Tianjin Sino-US Company.
The Ibuprofen was co-discovered by Dr. Stewart Adams (later he becomes a professor and won the Medal of the British Empire) and his team including CoLinBurrows and Dr. John Nicholson. The aim of the initial study was to develop a "super aspirin" to obtain an alternative for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis that is comparable to that of aspirin but with less serious adverse reactions. For other drugs such as phenylbutazone, it has a high risk of causing adrenal suppression and other adverse events such as gastrointestinal ulcers. Adams decided to look for a drug with good gastrointestinal resistance, which is particularly important for all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Phenyl acetate drugs have aroused people's interest. Although some of these drugs have been found to be at risk of causing ulcers based on the dog's test, Adams is aware of that this phenomenon may be due to a relatively long half-life of the drug clearance. In this class of drugs there is a compound – ibuprofen, which has a relatively short half-life, sustaining only 2 hours. Among the screened alternative drugs, although it is not the most effective, it is the most secure. In 1964, ibuprofen had become the most promising alternative to aspirin.

Indications

  • Alleviate the acute phase of various kinds of chronic arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, spondyloarthropathies, gouty arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as persistent symptoms of joint swelling and pain. It can be used for the non-cause treatment and control of disease.
  • For the treatment of various kinds of non-joint soft tissue rheumatic pain, such as shoulder pain, tenosynovitis, bursitis, myalgia and post-exercise pain.
  • For the treatment of acute mild to moderate pain such as: post-surgery, post-trauma, post-strain, primary dysmenorrhea, toothache, headache and so on.
  • It has an antipyretic effect against the fever of adults and children.

Used in Particular Diseases

Acute Gouty Arthritis:
Dosage and Frequency: 800 mg four times a day

Increase stroke risk

Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly used non-prescription painkillers, commonly used in the treatment of arthritis, muscle pain, neuralgia, headache, migraine, toothache, dysmenorrhea or low back pain. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal found that people who have taken a large number of antipyretic drugs, ibuprofen, have a 3-fold increase in the risk of getting stroke or heart disease.
Researchers from the University of Berne in Switzerland reviewed 31 clinical trials involving more than 11.6 million patients. Patients were treated with one of seven common analgesics. The results showed that patients subjecting to long-term administration of large doses of ibuprofen not only have a risk of getting stroke increased by 3 times, but also have significantly increased risk of suffering heart attack and heart disease death. However, the study also showed that occasionally taking ibuprofen for the treatment of headache will not be dangerous. The study also found that commonly used analgesic diclofenac sodium also has a similar problem.
The study found a health risk associated with long-term use of ibuprofen, being similar to the anti-arthritis drug rofecoxib (Velcro), which was halted in 2004 due to safety concerns.

Precautions

1.For late pregnancy women, it can prolong the pregnancy, causing dystocia and prolonged pregnancy course. Pregnant women and lactating women should not administrate it.
2. Inhibition of platelet aggregation; it can extent the bleeding time. This effect will disappear at 24 hours after withdrawal of the drug.
3. It can increase the blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine content, further reducing the creatinine clearance rate. The following circumstances should be used with caution:

  • Bronchial asthma can be aggravated after treatment.
  • Heart failure, high blood pressure; medication can cause water retention, edema.
  • Hemophilia or other hemorrhagic diseases (including coagulation disorders and platelet dysfunction); medication can cause prolonged bleeding time, increase the bleeding tendency.
  • Patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers are prone to get gastrointestinal side effects, including generating new ulcers.
  • Patients of renal dysfunction, after administration, can get increased renal adverse reactions, and even get renal failure.
  • During long-term medication, it should be regularly checked of blood phase and liver, kidney function.

Drug Interactions

  • Drinking or combination with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can increase the gastrointestinal side effects, and have the risk of ulcers. Long-term combination with acetaminophen can increase the toxic side effects on the kidney.
  • Combination with aspirin or other salicylic acid drugs causes no increase in the efficacy, but cam cause gastrointestinal adverse reactions and increase of the bleeding tendency.
  • Combination with heparin, dicoumarol and other anticoagulants as well as platelet aggregation inhibitors has the risk for increasing bleeding.
  • Combination with furosemide can weaken the sodium excretion effect and antihypertensive effect.
  • Combination with verapamil and nifedipine can increase the plasma concentration of the product.
  • Ibuprofen can increase the plasma concentration of digoxin; pay attention to adjusting the dose of digoxin upon co-administration.
  • Ibuprofen can enhance the role of anti-diabetic drugs (including oral hypoglycemic agents).
  • The goods, when used in combination with antihypertensive drugs can affect the antihypertensive effect of the latter one.
  • Probenecid can reduce the excretion of the goods, increase the concentration of blood, thereby increasing the toxicity, so it is proper to reduce the dosage upon co-administration.
  • The goods can reduce the excretion of methotrexate, increase the blood concentration which can reach up to the level of poisoning, so the goods should not be used with medium or large doses of methotrexate.

Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal symptoms include indigestion, stomach burning sensation, stomach pain and nausea as well as vomiting. This usually appears in 16% long-term administrators. These symptoms will disappear upon drug withdraw. In most cases, the patients can tolerate even without withdrawal. A small number (<1%) of patients can get gastric ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding. This are also cases of perforation due to ulcer.
  • Neurological symptoms such as headache, lethargy and dizziness; Tinnitus (rare) appears in 1% to 3% of patients.
  • Renal insufficiency is rare, mostly occur in patients of potential kidney disease; but a small number of patients may obtain lower extremity edema.
  • Other rare symptoms also include rash, bronchial asthma attack, elevated liver enzymes and leukopenia.
  • During medication, there might be emergence of gastrointestinal bleeding, liver and kidney dysfunction, visual impairment, abnormal blood and allergic reactions, etc., that should be discontinued.

Description

Ibuprofen is a white, crystalline anti-infl ammatory drug used in numerous medications. It is the active ingredient marketed under various trade names including Advil, Motrin, and Nurofen. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-infl ammatory drug (NSAID) used as a pain reliever (analgesic), fever reducer (antipyretic), and inflammation reducer. Infl ammation is a general physiological response to tissue damage characterized by swelling, pain, and heat.
Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which in turn interferes with the synthesis of prostaglandins. COX exists as several coenzyme forms that are similar in structure: COX-1, COX-2, COX-3; ibuprofen is a nonselective inhibitor of both COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is continually produced in mammalian cells throughout the body in response to physiological stimuli. It is responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which get their name because it was originally believed they were synthesized in the prostate gland. In fact, prostaglandins are synthesized throughout the body and act like hormones by stimulating action in target cells. Prostaglandins, which are fatty acid compounds consisting of a 20-carbon chain including a 5 carbon ring, are involved in numerous physiological processes including renal function, blood clotting, and stomach mucus production. COX-2 is synthesized only in specifi c parts of the body (kidneys, brain, trachea) as needed and is therefore called an induced enzyme. COX-2 produces prostaglandins in response to tissue damage and infl ammation. Infl ammatory prostaglandins produce swelling, pain, and fever.

History

Ibuprofen was developed while searching for an alternative pain reliever to aspirin in the 1950s. It and related compounds were synthesized in 1961 by Stewart Adams, John Nicholson, and Colin Burrows who were working for the Boots Pure Drug Company in Great Britain. Adams and Nicholson filed for a British patent on ibuprofen in 1962 and obtained the patent in 1964; subsequent patents were obtained in the United States. The patent of Adams and Nicholson was for the invention of phenylalkane derivatives of the form shown in Figure 49.1, where R1 could be various alkyl groups, R2 was hydrogen or methyl, and X was COOH or COOR, with R being alkyl or aminoalkyl groups. The first clinical trials for ibuprofen were started in 1966. Ibuprofen was introduced under the trade name Brufen in 1969 in Great Britain. It was introduced in the United States in 1974. Ibuprofen was initially off ered by prescription, but it became available in over-the-counter medications in the 1980s.

Uses

A common goal in the development of pain and inflammation medicines has been the creation of compounds that have the ability to treat inflammation, fever, and pain without disrupting other physiological functions. General pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2. A medication's specificaction toward COX-1 versus COX-2 determines the potential for adverse side effects. Medications with greater specificity toward COX-1 will have greater potential for producing adverse side effects. By deactivating COX-1, nonselective pain relievers increase the chance of undesirable side effects, especially digestive problems such as stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. COX-2 inhibitors, such as Vioxx and Celebrex, selectively deactivate COX-2 and do not aff ect COX-1 at prescribed dosages. COX-2 inhibitors are widely prescribed for arthritis and pain relief. In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that an increased risk of heart attack and stroke was associated with certain COX-2 inhibitors. This led to warning labels and voluntary removal of products from the market by drug producers; for example, Merck took Vioxx off the market in 2004. Although ibuprofen inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2, it has several times the specificity toward COX-2 compared to aspirin, producing fewer gastrointestinal side effects.

Uses

Antibiotic

Uses

Cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor; analgesic; anti-inflammatory.

Uses

A selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor (IC50=14.9uM). Inhibits PGH synthase-1 and PGH synthase-2 with comparable potency

Definition

ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is propionic acid in which one of the hydrogens at position 2 is substituted by a 4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl group.

Indications

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is used as an analgesic and antipyretic as well as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative joint disease. The most frequently observed side effects are nausea, heartburn, epigastric pain, rash, and dizziness. Incidence of GI side effects is lower than with indomethacin.Visual changes and cross-sensitivity to aspirin have been reported. Ibuprofen inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 about equally. It decreases platelet aggregation, but the duration is shorter and the effect quantitatively lower than with aspirin. Ibuprofen prolongs bleeding times toward high normal value and should be used with caution in patients who have coagulation deficits or are receiving anticoagulant therapy.

Manufacturing Process

Isobutylbenzene is first acetylated to give isobutylacetophenone. 4-ibutylacetophenone (40 g), sulfur (11 g) and morpholine (30 ml) were refluxed for 16 hours, cooled, acetic acid (170 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (280 ml) were added and the mixture was refluxed for a further 7 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo to remove acetic acid and the concentrate was diluted with water.
The oil which separated was isolated with ether, the ethereal solution was extracted with aqueous sodium carbonate and this extract was acidified with hydrochloric acid. The oil was isolated with ether, evaporated to dryness and the residue was esterified by refluxing with ethanol (100 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (3 ml) for 5 hours. The excess alcohol was distilled off, the residue was diluted with water, and the oil which separated was isolated with ether. The ethereal solution was washed with sodium carbonate solution; then with water and was dried. The ether was evaporated off and the oil was distilled to give ethyl 4-i-butylphenylacetate.
Sodium ethoxide from sodium (3.67 g) in absolute alcohol (64 ml) was added over 20 minutes with stirring to a mixture of ethyl 4-i-butylphenylacetate (28.14 g) and ethyl carbonate (102 ml) at 100°C. The reaction flask was fitted with a Fenske column through which alcohol and then ethyl carbonate distilled. After 1 hour when the still head reached 124°C heating was discontinued. Glacial acetic acid (12 ml) and water (50 ml) was added to the stirred ice-cooled mixture and the ester isolated in ether, washed with sodium carbonate solution, water and distilled to give ethyl 4-i-butylphenylmalonate.
Ethyl 4-i-butylphenylmalonate (27.53 g) in absolute alcohol (25 ml) was added with stirring to a solution of sodium ethoxide From sodium (2.17 g) in absolute alcohol (75 ml). Ethyl iodide (15 ml) was added and the mixture refluxed for 2% hours, the alcohol distilled and the residue diluted with water, extracted with ether, washed with sodium bisulfite, water, and evaporated to dryness.
The residual oil was stirred and refluxed with sodium hydroxide (75 ml of 5 N), water (45 ml) and 95% ethanol (120 ml). Within a few minutes a sodium salt separated and after 1 hour the solid was collected, washed with ethanol, dissolved in hot water and acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid to give the methyl malonic acid which was collected and dried in vacuo MP 177° to 180°C (dec.).
The malonic acid (9 g) was heated to 210° to 220°C in an oil bath for 20 minutes until decarboxylation had ceased. The propionic acid was cooled and recrystallized from light petroleum (BP 60° to 80°C). Two further recrystallizations from the same solvent gave colorless prisms of 2-(4- isobutylphenyl)propionicacid MP 75° to 77.5°C. (The procedure was reported in US Patent 3,228,831.)

Therapeutic Function

Antiinflammatory

World Health Organization (WHO)

Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, was introduced in 1969. It was approved for sale without prescription in packages containing no more than 400 mg, in the United Kingdom in 1983. This action was followed by the USA, Canada and several European countries. Since this time reports of suspected adverse effects have increased. Most of these relate to gastrointestinal disturbances, hypersensitivity reactions but aseptic meningitis, skin rashes and renal damage have been recorded.

General Description

Ibuprofen, 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (Motrin,Advil, Nuprin), was introduced into clinical practice followingextensive clinical trials. It appears to have comparableefficacy to aspirin in the treatment of RA, but with a lowerincidence of side effects. It has also been approved for usein the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea, which is thoughtto be caused by an excessive concentration of PGs and endoperoxides. However, a recent study indicates that concurrentuse of ibuprofen and aspirin may actually interferewith the cardioprotective effects of aspirin, at least in patientswith established cardiovascular disease. This is becauseibuprofen can reversibly bind to the platelet COX-1isozymes, thereby blocking aspirin’s ability to inhibit TXA2synthesis in platelets.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Biochem/physiol Actions

Primary TargetCOX-1

Pharmacokinetics

Ibuprofen is rapidly absorbed on oral administration, with peak plasma levels being generally attained within 2 hours and a duration of action of less than 6 hours. As with most of these acidic NSAIDs, ibuprofen (pKa = 4.4) is extensively bound to plasma proteins (99%) and will interact with other acidic drugs that are protein bound.

Clinical Use

Ibuprofen is indicated for the relief of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, the relief of mild to moderate pain, the reduction of fever, and the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

Synthesis

Ibuprofen, 2-(4-iso-butylphenyl)propionic acid (3.2.23), can be synthesized by various methods [88–98]. The simplest way to synthesize ibuprofen is by the acylation of iso-butylbenzol by acetyl chloride. The resulting iso-butylbenzophenone (3.2.21) is reacted with sodium cyanide, giving oxynitrile (3.2.22), which upon reaction with hydroiodic acid in the presence of phosphorus is converted into 2-(4-iso-butylphenyl)propionic acid (3.2.23), which subsequently undergoes phases of dehydration, reduction, and hydrolysis.
CB4336930-1.jpg
Another way to synthesize ibuprofen consists of the chloromethylation of iso-butylbenzene, giving 4-iso-butylbenzylchloride (3.2.24). This product is reacted with sodium cyanide, making 4-iso-butylbenzyl cyanide (3.2.25), which is alkylated in the presence of sodium amide by methyl iodide into 2-(4-iso-butylbenzyl)propionitrile (3.2.26). Hydrolysis of the resulting product in the presence of a base produces ibuprofen (3.2.23).

Drug interactions

Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin-II antagonists: antagonism of hypotensive effect; increased risk of nephrotoxicity and hyperkalaemia.
Analgesics: avoid concomitant use of 2 or more NSAIDs, including aspirin (increased side effects); avoid with ketorolac (increased risk of side effects and haemorrhage); possibly reduced antiplatelet effect with aspirin.
Antibacterials: possibly increased risk of convulsions with quinolones.
Anticoagulants: effects of coumarins and phenindione enhanced; possibly increased risk of bleeding with heparins, dabigatran and edoxaban - avoid long term use with edoxaban.
Antidepressants: increased risk of bleeding with SSRIs and venlaflaxine.
Antidiabetic agents: effects of sulphonylureas enhanced.
Antiepileptics: possibly increased phenytoin concentration.
Antivirals: increased risk of haematological toxicity with zidovudine; concentration possibly increased by ritonavir.
Ciclosporin: may potentiate nephrotoxicity.
Cytotoxics: reduced excretion of methotrexate; increased risk of bleeding with erlotinib.
Diuretics: increased risk of nephrotoxicity; antagonism of diuretic effect; hyperkalaemia with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Lithium: excretion decreased.
Pentoxifylline: increased risk of bleeding.
Tacrolimus: increased risk of nephrotoxicity.

Environmental Fate

Ibuprofen has a high water solubility and low volatility, which suggest a high mobility in the aquatic environment. This makes it a commonly detected chemical of the pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment. It is not as persistent, however, as many other chemicals. Ibuprofen undergoes photodegradation with exposure to direct and indirect sunlight, although degradation products can have effects on aquatic environments.

Metabolism

Metabolism occurs rapidly, and the drug is nearly completely excreted in the urine as unchanged drug and oxidative metabolites within 24 hours following administration. Metabolism by CYP2C9 (90%) and CYP2C19 (10%) involves primarily ω-, and ω1-, and ω2-oxidation of the p-isobutyl side chain, followed by alcohol oxidation of the primary alcohol resulting from ω–oxidation to the corresponding carboxylic acid. All metabolites are inactive. When ibuprofen is administered as the individual enantiomers, the major metabolite isolated is the S-(+)-enantiomer whatever the configuration of the starting enantiomer. Interestingly, the R-(–)-enantiomer is inverted to the S-(+)-enantiomer in vivo via an acetyl–coenzyme A intermediate, accounting for the observation that the two enantiomers are bioequivalent in vivo. This is a metabolic phenomenon that also has been observed for other arylpropionic acids, such as ketoprofen, benoxaprofen, fenoprofen, and naproxen.

Toxicity evaluation

The mechanisms of ibuprofen-induced toxicity have not been clearly defined. Acute renal failure is postulated to result from decreased production of intrarenal prostaglandins via inhibition of the cyclooxygenase pathway. In turn, this will decrease the renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. Ibuprofen also interferes with prostaglandin synthesis in the gastrointestinal system, which can contribute to its irritating effect on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Anion gap metabolic acidosis is likely caused by elevated lactate due to hypotension and hypoperfusion and also due to ibuprofen and its metabolites, which are all weak acids. Seizures have been reported in large ibuprofen overdoses, but the mechanism of toxicity remains unknown. In massive overdoses, ibuprofen is thought to have cellular toxicity disrupting mitochondrial energy processes causing the formation of lactic acid.
