TFAP (CAT: I019813) is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). COX-1 is an enzyme involved in the production of prostaglandins, which play important roles in inflammation, pain, and other physiological processes. By selectively inhibiting COX-1, TFAP interferes with the synthesis of prostaglandins derived from arachidonic acid, leading to reduced inflammation and pain. This selective inhibition of COX-1 distinguishes TFAP from non-selective COX inhibitors, potentially minimizing unwanted side effects associated with COX-2 inhibition. TFAP’s selective COX-1 inhibitory activity may have therapeutic applications in conditions such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and other inflammatory disorders.
