(R)-Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase.(R)-Naproxen prevents the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin precursors, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins. (R)-Naproxen′s mode of action involves reversible inhibition of the COX enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. This inhibition occurs through the binding of the compound to the active site of the enzyme, preventing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins.
