Summary: Prostaglandins form a complex system of biological mediators which are involved in inflammatory processes regulation. Understanding biology is helpful in understanding the potential and profile of drugs influencing physiological and pathological processes. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to inhibit prostaglandin formation through inhibition of the cyclooxygenase pathway, thereby influencing biological responses.
Keywords: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, prostaglandins, perioperative and postoperative inflammation.
