Description

2-(4-Ethylphenyl)-propanoic acid is a supplement that is used to relieve pain and inflammation. It belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This drug has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bronchitis. 2-(4-Ethylphenyl)-propanoic acid inhibits both prostaglandin synthesis and leukotriene synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1, which converts arachidonic acid into prostaglandins, and 5-lipoxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid into leukotrienes. This drug has also been shown to inhibit COX-2 production in human monocytes. The active form of this drug is metabolized through a number of metabolic transformations including hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases, oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes,
