Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s):	Bronsted acid A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Bronsted base). (via oxoacid )

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.
