Biofor 389

BF389 (Biofor 389) is an orally active anti-inflammatory and analesis agent. BF389 is also an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase, with IC50s of 4 and 8 ug/mL for COX-1 and COX-2 respectively. BF389 can be used for arthritis research[1][2][3].

COX-1: 4 μg/mL (IC₅₀); COX-2: 8 μg/mL (IC₅₀); 5-LOX
