Pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating degenerative brain disease

Abstract

The present invention relates to an ibuprofen conjugate in which ibuprofen (S-(+)-ibuprofen) is covalently linked to a guanidine-terminal-group-bound sugar alcohol derivative and to a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. The ibuprofen conjugate in which ibuprofen is covalently linked to a guanidine-terminal-group-bound sugar alcohol derivative can more effectively penetrate into the brain by passing through the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thus enabling efficient drug delivery to the brain, whereby administration of the ibuprofen conjugate in an optimal dose can minimize side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can prevent or treat degenerative brain disease.
