Build a chemical structure model of the NSAID painkiller medicine Ibuprofen (Advil) utilizing Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo Instruments
Ibuprofen's molecular structure consists of an aromatic ring with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and an isobutyl side chain. Ibuprofen is a medication classed as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce fever and treat pain or inflammation caused by conditions such as headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps, or minor injury. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins by decreasing the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).
