Product Information

• Name: (S)-Naproxen Sodium
• Synonyms: (S)-6-Methoxy-a-methyl-2-naphthaleneacetic acid sodium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has been used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. Naproxen sodium is the sodium salt of naproxen. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. The rate constant for this reaction was determined by measuring the disappearance of COX enzyme from calf thymus DNA and bacterial DNA. This process is inhibited by naproxen sodium in vitro, which leads to less COX enzyme synthesis. Naproxen sodium also inhibits inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis as well as promoting blood clotting by inhibiting platelet aggregation.
