Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor
An EC 3.1.4.53 (3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase) inhibitor that specifically blocks the action of phosphodiesterase IV.
Application(s): non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
An anti-inflammatory drug that is not a steroid. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins.
