3-(2-Isobutyl-4-methyl-benzoyl)-propionic acid, also known as ibuprofen, is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is derived from the chemical structure of 2-isobutyl-4-methyl-benzoyl, which is attached to a propionic acid chain. Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, leading to reduced inflammation, pain, and fever. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps, and arthritis, and is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and suspensions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 7315-76-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,3,1 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7315-76: (6*7)+(5*3)+(4*1)+(3*5)+(2*7)+(1*6)=96 96 % 10 = 6 So 7315-76-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
