Ibuprofen (Advil)

Build a chemical structure model of the NSAID painkiller medicine Ibuprofen (Advil) utilizing Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo Instruments

Ibuprofen's chemical structure is known as 2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propionic acid with one of the propionic hydrogens is substituted with a 4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl group. The drug is produced as a racemic mixture where the R-enantiomer is converted to the S-enantiomer by the enzyme alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase. The S-enantiomer is believed to exhibit the stronger pharmacological activity of the two.

A molecular model of Ibuprofen in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
