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.
Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS.
Piperidones are organic compounds consisting of a piperidine ring, which is a six-membered saturated ring containing five carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom, fused with a ketone functional group.
