Ibuprofen arginine
Ibuprofen arginine is an orally active L-arginine salt of Ibuprofen (HY-78131). Ibuprofen arginine inhibits COX-2-dependent PGE2 production, inhibits iNOS and NOX-2, and reduces pro-inflammatory mediators, nitrite, ROS, oxidative stress, and cytokine secretion. Ibuprofen arginine inhibits ERK1/2 and STAT3 phosphorylation and attenuates M1 polarization. Ibuprofen arginine can serve as a substrate to provide L-arginine to support iNOS-mediated nitrite production and eNOS-mediated NO release, reversing NOS inhibitor-induced dysfunction and L-NAME (HY-18729)-induced contraction. Ibuprofen arginine alleviates joint inflammation and has antibacterial activity. Ibuprofen arginine can be used in research on inflammation-related diseases and pain.

In Vitro
Ibuprofen arginine (Ibu-AR) exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in CFBE41o- bronchial epithelial cells and RAW 264.7 macrophages: it scavenges ROS, elevates NO, inhibits nitrite production, downregulates M1-related gene and protein levels such as TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS, and suppresses p-STAT3/p-ERK1/2 signaling, without altering TLR4 expression[1].
Ibuprofen arginate (24 h) inhibits COX-2-dependent PGE2 production in RAW264.7 and A549 cells without reducing cell viability[2].
Ibuprofen arginate (at increasing concentrations based on equimolar L-arginine; 24 h) can provide arginine substrate for iNOS in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages cultured in arginine-free medium; it can restore iNOS activity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages in the presence of ADMA, L-NMMA (HY-18732), or L-NAME (HY-18729)[2].
Ibuprofen arginate reverses L-NAME-induced contraction in isolated mouse thoracic aorta; it restores eNOS-dependent vasodilation in isolated rat thoracic aorta[2].
Ibuprofen arginine (IBP-arginine) (4%; 5 min) is the most effective antibacterial solution against multispecies root canal biofilms, reducing RLU by 96%; it reduces the percentage of viable cells in multispecies endodontic biofilms to 19.84%[4].
Ibuprofen arginine (4% diluted 1/100) maintains 62.14% and 60.18% 3T3-L1 fibroblast viability at 1 h and 24 h, respectively[4].

In Vivo
Ibuprofen arginine (114.8 mmol/kg; administered i.v. via the femoral vein; given as a single dose after the L-NAME pressor response is established) reverses the established L-NAME-induced pressor response in anesthetized male Wistar Kyoto rats[2].
