Description

R(-)-Fenoprofen is the single enantiomer of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) fenoprofen. This specific stereoisomer is of significant interest in pharmaceutical research and development for its potential role in creating more targeted and efficacious therapeutic agents with potentially reduced side-effect profiles. It serves as a critical chiral building block and reference standard for analytical and pharmacological studies. Key industries requiring this compound include pharmaceutical R&D, contract research organizations (CROs), and academic institutions focused on stereochemistry and drug discovery.

Application

• Pharmaceutical research as a chiral intermediate for novel NSAID development.
• Analytical reference standard for method development and validation in chiral separation techniques (e.g., HPLC, SFC).
• Pharmacological studies to investigate the stereoselective metabolism and activity of fenoprofen.
• Use in academic and industrial settings for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR) of profen-class drugs.
• Production of high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for specialized clinical applications.
• Biochemical research targeting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme inhibition mechanisms.
