Abstract
Although acetaminophen and phenacetin do not inhibit PG synthesis when added directly to isolated rat platelets and when given orally, both drugs inhibit carrageenan-induced hindpaw edema--a widely used inflammatory assay method. It does not appear that the anti-inflammatory effects of these non-steroidal drugs (unlike other well-known non-steroidal drugs) can be explained on the basis of PG-synthetase inhibition.Entities:
