2-hydroxy arachidonic acid: a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

<h4>Background</h4>Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a family of COX1 and COX2 inhibitors used to reduce the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators. In addition, inflammation often leads to a harmful generation of nitric oxide. Efforts are being done in discovering safer...
