AB  - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) such as Ibuprofen have a wide range of medical applications, ranging from pain relieve to cancer [1] treatment. However, some applications require long-term application, which can lead to gastrointenstinal complications and even fatal ulcers [2]. Neutron reflectometry and grazing incidence neutron scattering (GISANS) investigations of lipid films, revealed a change in layer thickness upon the introduction of Ibuprofen. This change in layer thickness can be attributed to a different apparent hydration of the film [3].We investigated the influence of ibuprofen on phospholipid layers of L-α- phosphatidylcholine (SoyPC) between 0 and 33 wt% of ibuprofen. Our investigations have revealed that ibuprofen induces a two-step ordering in such films depending on the concentration. While there is no ordering for the pure SoyPC film, at higher concentrations ordering occurs. This ordering is a superposition of hexagonal and simple cubic lattices.There is a reorganisation at even higher concentrations of ibuprofen, leaving a single hexagonal structure.[1] Thun, M.
