Arylpropionic acid derivatives are an important class of NSAIDs. Ibuprofen, 2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propionic acid, is known as NSAIDs. Arylpropionic acid derivatives have a broad biological activity, including antibacterial, anticonvulsant and anticancer activity, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. In addition to the most powerful ingredients used in analgesic and antipyretic fields, such as ibuprofen, Oxaprozin, Ketoprofen, and Phenoprofen, aryl propionic acid derivatives play an important role in treating other symptoms. The possible improvements in the activity can be further achieved by slight modifications in the substituent on the basic aryl propionic acid. According to Grigoryan et al., 2019 studies reveal that the replacement of the carboxyl group by tetrazole ring, hydroxamate, ester, alcohol, and amide groups forms compound showing lower activity (antiinflammatory, anti-nociceptive, ulcerogenic activity). The presence of a carboxyl group in the parent molecule of aryl propionic acid is important for broad-spectrum pharmacological activity. This review focused on recent advances and recent research on aryl propionic acid derivatives compared to medicinal chemistry. INTRODUCTION: Medical chemistry is an area that determines the effect of chemical composition on biological activity. Medical chemistry has been expanded with the help of experimental methods for predicting the composition of new compounds that rely heavily on structural changes and the determination of biological properties.
