NSAIDs mechanism of action (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
"Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
inhibit the cyclooxygenase isoenzymes COX1 and COX2 with varying degrees of specificity for the COX2 isoform. As a result, the conversion of arachidonic acid to
prostaglandins (PGs) is inhibited. The main effects of PGs throughout the body are listed." Inspired by Figure 1 in PMID:32322101.Please use the New WikiPathways
