(+)-2-(4-biphenyl)propionic acid

(+)-2-(4-biphenyl)propionic acid is a small molecule compound belonging to the class of biphenyl propionic acids. It is an experimental drug that acts as an inhibitor of prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 (also known as cyclooxygenase 1 or COX1), which is involved in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 inhibition reduces the formation of pro-inflammatory mediators, suggesting potential anti-inflammatory activity. The compound has not been approved for clinical use and there are no reported indications or completed clinical trials[1].
