General description

Ibuprofen Impurity B (PhEur) is a major impurity formed during the manufacturing of ibuprofen active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and was first developed to be used in the treatment of rheumatism. It exhibits chirality and structurally belongs to the class of 2-arylpropionic acids (2-APA). It hinders the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes in the synthesis of prostaglandins and is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gouty arthritis, and dysmenorrhoea. The S-(+)-enantiomer has been found to have more contribution in the anti-inflammatory activities of the compound than its R-(+)-enantiomer.[1][2][3][4]
This solution-based Certified Reference Material is suitable for use in ibuprofen monograph testing methods by HPLC in applications such as API release testing or pharmaceutical research. I
Ibuprofen Impurity B (PhEur) is a major impurity found in pharmaceutical manufacturing of ibuprofen active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). This solution-based Certified Reference Material is suitable for use in ibuprofen monograph testing methods by HPLC in testing applications such as API release testing or pharmaceutical research.

Application

Ibuprofen may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by chromatography techniques.[5]
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Ibuprofen is a chiral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the 2 arylpropionic acid (2-APA) class. A common structural feature of 2-APANSAIDs is a sp3-hybridised tetrahedral chiral carbon atom within the propionic acid side chain moiety with the S-(+)-enantiomer possessing most
