An irreversible COX inhibitor is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that permanently inactivates cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. This permanent inactivation leads to a prolonged reduction in pain and inflammation, as the affected COX enzymes cannot be reactivated. Examples of irreversible COX inhibitors include certain forms of aspirin. Unlike reversible inhibitors, the effects of irreversible inhibitors may last until new COX enzymes are synthesized by the body.

What is the difference between non-selective COX inhibitor and Cox 2 inhibitors?
non selective cox inhibitor .. inhibit both type of cox selective cox2 inhibitors ... inhibit only cox 2 !! the difference between them . is the action of cox 1 or 2 or both
Does Aspirin inhibit vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation by blocking synthesis of the prostaglandin?
Aspirin (acetlysalicylic acid) is an irreversible inhibitor of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX-I and COX-II) enzymes which are responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into the prostaglandins. It is supposed that this happens due to the acetylation effects of aspirin.
Is there a safe alternative to celebrex?
Celebrex is a COX-2 inhibitor class of drug. Other COX-2 inhibitors are Bextra and Vioxx. Consult your physician. see http://www.answers.com/Cox-2+inhibitor?cat=health

Are celecoxib and Ibuprofen both COX 2 inhibitors?
celecoxib is a preferential COX 2 inhibitor,it selectively inhibit the COX2 nzyme with out intefering with th COX 1 enzyme.ibuprofen inhibits both enzyme celecoxib is a preferential COX 2 inhibitor,it selectively inhibit the COX2 nzyme with out intefering with th COX 1 enzyme.ibuprofen inhibits both enzyme
What happens if an inhibitor is irreversible?
Irreversible inhibition refers to the inactivation of an enzyme by a tightly, typically covalent, bound inhibitor. The kinetics for irreversible inhibition do not follow competitive or non-competitive kinetics.

What are the medicinal properties of basil?
COX inhibitor (anti-inflammatory), carnminitive, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and others.
Difference between reversible and irreversible inhibitors?
Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that bind to enzymes and decrease their activity. The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from entering the enzyme's active site and/or hinder the enzyme from catalyzing its reaction. Inhibitor binding is either reversible or irreversible. Irreversible inhibitors usually react with the enzyme and change it chemically. These inhibitors modify key amino acid residues needed for enzymatic activity. In contrast, reversible inhibitors bind non-covalently and different types of inhibition are produced depending on whether these inhibitors bind the enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex, or both.
What is an enzymes activity is slowed or stopped called?
When an enzyme's activity is slowed or stopped, it is referred to as enzyme inhibition. This can occur through various mechanisms, including competitive inhibition, where an inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site, or non-competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor binds to a different part of the enzyme, altering its function. Enzyme inhibition can be reversible or irreversible, depending on how the inhibitor interacts with the enzyme.
