Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory
actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act
by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts
arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition
of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory
actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects
