Ibuprofen
2-(4-Isobutylphenyl)propionic acid · CAS 15687-27-1
Ibuprofen is a racemic API where the enantiomeric ratio and the level of related substances decide whether a generic file clears review. Our material is supplied with chiral HPLC data and a full related-substances profile rather than a summary assay figure alone.
For softgel and suspension customers we can provide a milled grade with a tighter particle size window and a documented polymorph check, so the finished-product dissolution method does not need re-validation.
