QUICK LINKS

Ketoprofen functions as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. This inhibition prevents the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins. At the molecular level, ketoprofen binds to the active site of the COX enzymes, interfering with the catalytic activity and ultimately disrupting the synthesis of prostaglandins. This mechanism of action makes ketoprofen useful in investigating the molecular pathways involved in inflammation and pain, as well as for studying the role of prostaglandins in various physiological and pathological processes.
