In this research, as a part of the development of fast and reliable HPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of ibuprofen (IBP) enantiomers in human plasma, the possibility of IBP acylglucoronide (IBP-Glu) back-conversion was assessed. This involved investigation of in source and in vitro back-conversion. The separation of IBP enantiomers, its metabolite and rac-IBP-d3 (internal standard), was achieved within 6 min using Chiracel OJ-RH chromatographic column (150 × 2.1 mm, 5 μm). The followed selected reaction monitoring transitions for IBP-Glu (m/z 381.4 → 205.4, m/z 381.4 → 161.4 and m/z 205.4 → 161.4) implied that under the optimized electrospray ionization parameters, in source back-conversion of IBP-Glu was insignificant. The results obtained after liquid-liquid extraction of plasma samples spiked with IBP-Glu revealed that the amount of IBP enantiomers generated by IBP-Glu back-conversion was far <20% of lower limit of quantification sample. These results indicate that the presence of IBP-Glu in real samples will not affect the quantification of the IBP enantiomers; thereby reliability of the method was improved. Additional advantage of the method is the short analysis time making it suitable for the large number of samples. The method was fully validated according to the EMA guideline and was shown to meet all requirements to be applied in a pharmacokinetic study.

Highly diastereoselective self-assembly reactions give both enantiomers (Λ and Δ) of anti-parallel triple-stranded bimetallic Co(ii) and Co(iii) cationic helices, without the need for resolution; the first such reaction for Co. The complexes are water soluble and stable, even in the case of Co(ii). Studies in a range of cancer and healthy cell lines indicate high activity and selectivity, and substantial differences between enantiomers.

The interaction between chiral drugs and biomimetic membranes is of interest in biophysical research and biotechnological applications. There is a belief that the membrane composition, particularly the presence of cholesterol, could play a pivotal role in determining enantiospecific effects of pharmaceuticals. Our study explores this topic focusing on the interaction of ibuprofen enantiomers (S- and R-IBP) with cholesterol-containing model membranes.

Ibuprofen (IBP), the 29th most prescribed drug in the United States in 2019, is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) comprising two enantiomers, (R)-IBP and (S)-IBP, collectively known as (RS)-IBP. This critical review examines analytical techniques for the enantioselective separation and determination of IBP enantiomers, crucial for pharmaceutical and clinical applications. The review focuses on state-of-the-art methods, including chromatographic techniques including high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and some other techniques.

In this paper, a fluorescence method for chiral detection of ibuprofen and its enantiomer was developed. The L-cystenine-capped ZnS:Mn quantum dots were synthesized and functionalized with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-QDs). The β-CD-QDs exhibited different quenching effect to the S-(+)-ibuprofen and the R-(-)-ibuprofen based on the advantage of the inclusion complex of cyclodextrin.

Nanomaterials with intrinsic enzymatic activity are often referred to as nanozymes. They exhibit many advantages over natural enzymes such as temporal and thermal stability, recyclability, controllable activity, and ease of large-scale preparation. Many efforts have been made in the past 5 years in order to improve their specificity for chiral substrates.
