NCIt definition : A propionic acid derivative with analgesic, non-steroidal antiinflammatory and antirheumatic
properties. Fenoprofen inhibits both isozymes of cyclooxygenase; resulting in prostaglandin
synthesis inhibition, thereby blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins.
In addition, fenoprofen activates both peroxisome proliferator activated receptors
(PPAR)-alpha and -gamma, by which it may down-regulate leukotriene B4 production.;
