Copper ibuprofenate is a coordination complex consisting of copper(II) and the conjugate base of ibuprofen. The compound is prepared by the reaction of sodium ibuprofenate with copper(II) sulfate. [2] [3]

Copper ibuprofenate adopts a typical Chinese lantern structure, as seen for many transition metal carboxylate complexes. X-ray crystallography reveals a polymer with a bonding motif very similar to that of copper(II) trifluoroacetate. [1]

It has been suggested that copper complexes of anti-inflammatory drugs are more active than the parent drug [4] and produce fewer gastrointestinal side-effects. [5] In 2008, a United States patent was issued for the utilization of ibuprofenate complexes (including copper ibuprofenate) as a wood preservative. [6]
