Ibuprofen arginate is the more soluble arginate salt form of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen. Ibuprofen arginate retains the inhibitory potency against COX-2 as ibuprofen and its sodium salt, however only ibuprofen arginate is able to augment cellular NO pathway through codelivery of the NOS substrate arginine. Ibuprofen arginate, but not the sodium salt form, is shown to reverse the inhibitory effects of the cardiotoxic hormone asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and NG-nitro-L-argininemethyl ester (L-NAME) against nitric oxide synthase (eNOS & iNOS) in cultures in vitro (Murine RAW264.7 macrophages and isolated mouse & rat aorta) and effectively prevent L-NAME-induced arterial blood pressure increase in anesthetized rats in vivo (0.5 mg/kg L-NAME; 114.8 μmol/kg ibuprofen arginate, equivalent to 20 mg/kg L-Arg via femoral artery cannulation).

Prostaglandins (PGs) and nitric oxide (NO) may be involved in the pathophysiology of depression. Since NSAIDs decrease PGs and NO production, they may have an antidepressant effect. The aim of the present work was to explore a possible antidepressant action

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus that is hardly reversible at the late stages. Since treatment of neuropathic pain is predominantly symptomatic, a prophylactic measure would be useful. Both ibuprofen and L-arginine exert antiallodynic effects on

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen, are among the most commonly used medications and produce their antiinflammatory effects by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. Their use is associated with increased risk of heart attacks caused by blocking COX-2 in the vasculature and/or kidney
