Loxoprofen, its trans-alcohol and cis-alcohol metabolites were evaluated for selectivity of inhibition of COX-2 over COX-1. The (2S,1'R,2'S)-trans-alcohol derivative was found to be the most active metabolite and to be a potent and nonselective inhibitor of COX-2 and COX-1 in both enzyme and human whole blood assays.
