Objective: The present study aimed at testing the effect of S- and R-ibuprofen on thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)), collagen-epinephrine closure time (CEPI-CT) and collagen-adenosine 5'-diphosphate closure time (CADP-CT) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated and non-stimulated human whole blood.

Materials And Methods: Whole blood was incubated with S- or R-ibuprofen with and without prior stimulation with LPS. To verify ibuprofen's potential effects on TXB(2), varying ratios of concentrations of S- and R-ibuprofen ranging from 0 to 100% were used. TXB(2) levels were measured by ELISA. The effects of S- and R-ibuprofen enantiomers on platelet aggregability were tested utilizing a PFA-100 apparatus.

Results: In non-stimulated and LPS-stimulated whole blood, S-ibuprofen markedly decreased TXB(2) levels at concentrations ranging from 10 to 200 microg/ml. R-ibuprofen showed its inhibiting effect at concentrations >100 microg/ml. In inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions, CEPI-CT was prolonged at concentrations of 12.5 and 75 microg/ml for S-ibuprofen and at a concentration of 150 microg/ml of combined R- and S-ibuprofen. S-ibuprofen was significantly more effective than R-ibuprofen (p < 0.05). The combined use of S- and R-ibuprofen did not additively or synergistically prolong CEPI-CTs. CADP-CTs remained unaffected by both enantiomers.

Conclusions: S-ibuprofen was more effective than the R-ibuprofen enantiomer in inhibiting TXB(2) plasma levels and aggregability of thrombocytes in non-inflammatory and inflammatory conditions.

With the global implementation of wastewater reuse, accurately assessing the soil ecological risk of chiral pollutants from wastewater necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their enantioselective toxicity to soil animals. Ibuprofen (IBU) is the most prevalent chiral pharmaceutical in municipal wastewater. However, its enantioselective toxicity toward soil animals and the underlying mechanism remain largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study developed a quick and effective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to measure ibuprofen enantiomers in very small volumes of mouse blood using just 5 μL of blood for analysis.
  • - The method achieved precise separation of the enantiomers and demonstrated a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) superior to previous techniques, validated by standard curves ranging from 0.04 to 80.00 μg/mL.
  • - Results from pharmacokinetic studies revealed significant differences in the profiles of (R)-(-)-ibuprofen and (S)-(+)-ibuprofen, confirming that (R)-(-)-ibuprofen converts to (S)-(+)-ibuprofen in the

Drugs and drug metabolites containing a carboxylic-acid moiety can undergo in vivo conjugation to form 1-β-O-acyl-glucuronides (1-β-O-AGs). In addition to hydrolysis, these conjugates can undergo spontaneous acyl migration, and anomerisation reactions, resulting in a range of positional isomers. Facile transacylation has been suggested as a mechanism contributing to the toxicity of acyl glucuronides, with the kinetics of these processes thought to be a factor.

The characterization of the time course of ibuprofen enantiomers can be useful in the selection of the most sensitive analyte in bioequivalence studies. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling and simulation represents the most efficient methodology to virtually assess bioequivalence outcomes. In this work, we aim to develop and verify a PBPK model for ibuprofen enantiomers administered as a racemic mixture with different immediate release dosage forms to anticipate bioequivalence outcomes based on different particle size distributions.
