(R)-(-)-2-Fluoro-alpha-methyl-4-biphenylacetic acid, commonly known as Flurbiprofen, is the (R)-enantiomer of flurbiprofen (also known as tarenflurbil), a research compound investigated as a gamma-secretase modulator for Alzheimer's disease; unlike racemic flurbiprofen, it is essentially inactive as a COX inhibitor. It is also employed in research for studying enantiomeric activity in drug development. This chemical has a CAS number of 51543-40-9, molecular formula C15H13FO2, and a molecular weight of 244.26 g/mol. It must be stored at 2 to 8°C and is classified with the signal word "Danger" due to its hazardous properties. Molekula supplies Flurbiprofen from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
