Resumo

Fenoprofen, an anti-inflammatory agent, is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis at physiological substrate concentration. I50's of 1 μM to 100 μM were obtained when the concentration of arachidonate was increased from 1 μM to 82 μM. In contrast, a small change in I50 was observed with indomethacin. Kinetic studies indicated that inhibition by fenoprofen was competitive while that of indomethacin was non-competitive.
