Arachidonic acid leelamide is a phospholipase A2 inhibitor. Phospholipase A is a hydrolase responsible for the release of arachidonic acid from the sn2 position of phospholipids. The released arachidonic acid is then converted to mediators of inflammation
Cryogenine is an alkaloid originally isolated from H. salicifolia that has anti-inflammatory activity.1 It inhibits prostaglandinsynthetase (IC50 = 424 μM). Cryogenine (100 mg kg per day, p.o.) reduces paw edema and the mean arthritic index in a rat model of adjuvant-induced polyarthritis.2 |1. Lema, W.J., Blankenship, J.W., and Malone, M.H.

Isofezolac (LM 22070) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its potent inhibition of prostaglandin-synthetase. This compound exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties [1] [2].
Zomepirac is a prostaglandinsynthetase inhibitor. Zomepirac is an orally effective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has antipyretic actions.
