Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluibiprofen is a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, which is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) and PGG2 to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) in the prostaglandin synthesis pathway. This decreases the prostaglandins which cause inflammation, pain, swelling and fever. Flurbiprofen inhibits the activity of both COX-1 and -2. The S enantiomer inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and has both anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, while the R enantiomer does not inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and displays only analgesic activity.

A series of 3-(4-biphenyl)-5-substituted phenyl-2-pyrazolines (2a-h) and 1-benzoyl-3-(4-biphenyl)-5-substituted phenyl-2-pyrazolines (3a-h) were synthesized by condensation of chalcones with hydrazine hydrate in solvent system ethanol and DMF. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, and were compared

A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives of biphenyl-4-yloxy acetic acid were synthesized in order to obtain new compounds with potential anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic activity and lower ulcerogenic potential. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by the carrageenan

Chinese herbs were screened for compounds which may be active against four targets involved in inflammation, using pharmacophore-assisted docking. Multiple LigandScout (LS) pharmacophores built from ligand-receptor complexes in the protein databank (PDB) were first employed to select compounds. These compounds
