Abstract
Piroxicam is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin biosynthesis. Experiments utilizing cell culture and microsomes derived from various sources have demonstrated that piroxicam is a selective inhibitor of the cyclooxygenase step of arachidonic acid metabolism. Little blocking activity is observed at the phospholipase, thromboxane or prostacyclin synthetase, and arachidonic acid lipoxygenase steps.Entities:
