Aims: To evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of sodium ibuprofenate (NaI) and its hypertonic variant (NaIHS) against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) and explore their potential to inhibit β-lactamase enzymes.
Methods: Antibacterial activity was assessed using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and time-kill assays. Antibiofilm activity was evaluated by measuring bacterial viability and biomass reduction in preformed biofilms. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe membrane effects. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to analyze the binding affinity of ibuprofen to the active sites of β-lactamases (CTX-M-15, KPC-2, OXA-23).
Results: NaI exhibited bactericidal activity at concentrations of 25-75 mm, with being the most susceptible. NaCl (≥0.5 M) enhanced bactericidal efficacy and lowered MBCs. Time-kill assays indicated rapid bacterial eradication within 2 hours, with NaIHS achieving similar results at lower concentrations. SEM confirmed membrane disruption. Both formulations reduced bacterial viability in biofilms, with NaIHS showing greater efficiency. studies suggest ibuprofen may inhibit β-lactamases, with enhanced interactions in saline environments.
Conclusion: Sodium ibuprofenate, particularly in its hypertonic form, demonstrates strong antibacterial, antibiofilm, and potential β-lactamase inhibitory activity, making it a promising candidate for treating MDR-GNB infections.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vehicle and chemical modifications of the structure of active compounds on the skin permeation and accumulation of ibuprofen (IBU). As a result, semi-solid formulations in the form of an emulsion-based gel loaded with ibuprofen and its derivatives, such as sodium ibuprofenate (IBUNa) and L-phenylalanine ethyl ester ibuprofenate ([PheOEt][IBU]), were developed. The properties of the obtained formulations were examined, including density, refractive index, viscosity, and particle size distribution.

The first reported example of circularly polarized luminescence from a chiral, molecular uranyl (UO) complex in solution is presented. This uranyl chiroptical activity is enabled by complexation with ibuprofen, an enantiopure chiral carboxylate ligand. Salt metathesis between [UOCl(thf)] and the sodium ibuprofenate salts results in the formation of the anionic tris complexes; these complexes are found to be luminescent in solution, both under visible excitation, directly targeting the metal, and through sensitization by UV absorption and energy transfer from the ligand.

Direct back-face transmission steady-state fluorescence was successfully applied to the study of aggregation of ibuprofen and ibuprofenate anion in solution taking advantage of its own fluorescence. The analysis of the experimental data involves the use of the differential reabsorption model to account for re-absorption phenomenon and the closed association model to describe aggregation. The fluorescence quantum yield of ibuprofenate increases when it aggregates in the presence of sodium, but it markedly decreases when 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium is used as counterion.

In this work, the free energy change in the process of transferring ibuprofenate from the bulk solution to the center of a model of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer at different NaCl concentrations was calculated. Two minima were found in the free energy profile: a local minimum, located in the vicinity of the membrane, and the global free energy minimum, found near the headgroup region. The downward shift of free energy minima with increasing NaCl concentration is consistent with the results of previous works.
