No. Neither contain appetite suppressants and in fact, taking both or either on an empty stomach will cause nausea, sometimes sever nausea depending on how empty the stomach is and the individual.

What is important about NSAID-s?
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,, are drugs with analgesic and antipyretic effects and which have, in higher doses, anti-inflammatory effects. The term "nonsteroidal" is used to distinguish these drugs from steroids, which have a similar eicosanoid-depressing, anti-inflammatory action.
Most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are weak acids, with a pKa of 3-5. They are absorbed well from the stomach and intestinal mucosa. They are highly protein-bound in plasma (typically >95%), usually to albumin, so that their volume of distribution typically approximates to plasma volume. Most NSAIDs are metabolised in the liver by oxidation and conjugation to inactive metabolites which are typically excreted in the urine, although some drugs are partially excreted in bile. Metabolism may be abnormal in certain disease states, and accumulation may occur even with normal dosage.
Uses
a. Antipyretic, analgesic and antiinflammatory; especially good for pain of headaches, muscles and joints
b. Aspirin also has antiplatelet activity since it causes irreversible inhibition of both cyclooxygenases and platelets are not able to synthesize cyclooxygenase. Thus, until the next generation of platelets develops, which takes 8-11 days, platelet function is disturbed. This enables aspirin to be used for prophylactic treatment of coronary artery disease, thrombotic CVA Cardiovascular Accident and hypercoaguable states.
c. Topical use of salicylic acid irritates skin and mucus membranes and so is used in the treatment of warts, corns and some fungi.
d. Rectal suspensions and suppositories of mesalamine are useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Sulfasalazine is ingested and in the colon breaks down to mesalamine.
ibuprofen is tylonel
Actually, Ibuprofen and Tylenol are 2 very different chemicals.
ASA stands for Acetylsalicylic Acid, or what is more commonly known as Aspirin. While the short answer to the question is 'No', it's not as simple as that. Anyone who has an allergy to ASA or to Ibuprofen needs to consult a doctor before taking either. They function in a similar manner.
Both do the following:
Inhibit the body's production of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that are produced by the body in small quantities and are involved in the regulation of processes like pain, fever and inflammation
Ibuprofen is iso-butyl-propanoic-phenolic acid.
Tylenol is a compound called Acetaminophen or Paracetamol.

No it's not a prodrug it works by acetylating the serine in the 530 position of COX and is then converted to salicylic acid which is inactive. It acts by preventing Arachadonic acid (AA) from entering the active site and forming PGG2, This is also true for COX2 even though it does allow AA to pass it doesn't form PGG2 instead forming 15-R-HETE.
