Compound: FDB011872 (Arachidonic acid)
Term: Lumiracoxib Action Pathway
Definition: the mechanism of action of lumiracoxib is thought to be due to its ability to block prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase 2 (cox-2), also called prostaglandin g/h synthase 2. cox-2 catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin g2 and prostaglandin g2 to prostglandin h2.
