Naproxen is a potent, non-steroidal, non-selective anti-inflammatory cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibitor. Inhibits COX-1 expression in HUVECS at a concentration of 5µg/ml. This COX inhibitor is indicated for the treatment of pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness. Research indicates that the S-naproxen is a more active form than the R-naproxen. The S-naproxen enantiomer was observed to inhibit platelet aggregation, and both enantiomers decrease production of thromboxane B2. Naproxen has been demonstrated to block A? fibril growth and form a complex with copper (II).
