Propionic acid type non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
ChEBI: A racemate composed of equal amounts of (R)- and (S)-vedaprofen. Used for control of pain and inflammation particularly associated with chronic musculoskeletal disorders and soft tissue trauma in dogs and horses and for tr
atment of pain due to horse colic.
Vedaprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) th at has been found to have antimicrobial activity. Vedaprofen is primarily used as a veterinary analgesic and anti-inflammatory for arthritis and pain. Its anti-inflammatory activity is due to cyclooxygenase inihbition, while its antimicrobial activity is less certain. Vedaprofen can kill B. subtilis by permeabilizing its membrane. Other studies have shown vedaprofen can target the Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III β subunit.
