3.2.1. Procedure for the Synthesis of Compound 2 and 7
General procedure: Ibuprofen (1) and flurbiprofen (6) (2 mmol), in two separatereactions, were dissolved in ethanol (50 mL) followedby addition of sulphuric acid (1 mL) and refluxed for 6 h.The reaction progress was monitored by using pre-coatedsilica gel TLC plates under UV light using chloroform:methanol (9:1) as an eluent. The obtained esters (2, 7) werecollected from ethanol by rotary evaporation and recrystallized.A mixture of compound (2, 7) (0.011 mol) and hydrazinehydrate (0.02 mol) in ethanol (50 mL) was heated for 8h under reflux to get corresponding hydrazides (3, 8)(Scheme 1). This time, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether(1:1) was used as an eluent. The reaction progress was monitoredusing TLC plates. The solid compounds were obtainedby recrystallization from methanol. |

General procedure: To a solution of 0.1mol of the racemic acid in 100ml toluene, 0.5mol of corresponding alcohol (methanol, ethanol, propanol, n-butanol and iso-butanol) was added followed by few drops of sulphuric acid (98%) [41]. The mixture was stirred under reflux over night and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue was neutralized with 10% sodium hydrogen carbonate. The ester was extracted twice with 50ml chloroform and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum to afford the racemic ibuprofen esters. |

4.3. Synthesis of ibuprofen, naproxen and ketoprofen ethyl ester
General procedure: The reactant (2.5 g of racemic ibuprofen, naproxen or ketoprofen)was mixed with EtOH (100 mL) ethanol and sulfuric acid(1 mL). The mixture was stirred at 65 C overnight. Then calcium carbonate (2.5 g) was then added and the mixture was stirred again for 30 min. The precipitate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was dried under reduced pressure. The reaction was followedby Thin Layer Chromatography analysis (TLC) using hexane/isopropanol (99/1 v/v) as the eluent. 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AC-200.1 (200.1 MHz) spectrometer and confirmedthe purity of both esters. |

Ibuprofen (carboxylic acid) was esterified using alcohol (ethanol). Ibuprofen ethanoate (insoluble) was reacted with purified chitosan oligosaccharide with weight average molecular weight <3000 in an aqueous solution to form a homogenous solution containing ibuprofen-chitosan conjugate, Fig 1. Slight acidic medium of hydrochloric acid may enhance the conjugation process and increase solubility of ibuprofen chitosan conjugate in aqueous solution, Fig 2. |

Chitosan, a natural product obtained mainly from cramps and fish, has a high adsorption affinity towards fatty substances that may attach to its structure during the process of preparation. Thus, purification of chitosan needs the use of organic solvents such as n-hexane and ethanol to get rid of fatty materials or other impurities. These impurities may deactivate the primary amine groups (active sites) present in chitosan. Purification from these impurities may increase the ability for binding to drug molecules. Ibuprofen (carboxylic acid) was esterified using alcohol (ethanol). Ibuprofen ethanoate (insoluble) was reacted with purified chitosan in an aqueous solution, Fig 1. Slight acidic medium of hydrochloric acid was added to enhance the conjugation process and to solubilize chitosan polymer in aqueous solution. Ibuprofen ethanaote was then reacted with chitosan and a homogenous mixture of ibuprofen-chitosan conjugate was formed. |

The completion of reaction was monitored by TLC (25% Petroleum ether). The excess ethanol was removed by evaporation and to the resulting residue crushed ice was added to precipitate out the crude hydrazide 3, 8 and 12. The hydrazides were filtered dried over vacuum and were used further for the preparation of azomethine derivatives (Schiff bases) 4a-k, 9a-f and 13a-h.
