Biological Activity:
Ibuprofen Lysine (NeoProfen) is a non-selective COX inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.33 mM. It is known to have an antiplatelet effect, though Ibuprofen Lysine (NeoProfen) is relatively mild and short-lived when compared with that of aspirin or other better-known antiplatelet agents. [1] Ibuprofen, indomethacin, and meclofenamate were potent inhibitors of the microsomal cyclooxygenase prepared from feline lung with IC50 of 0.33 mM, 29 μM, and 4.7 μM, respectively. [2]
