Despite the diverse chemical structure of aspirin-like drugs, the antinociceptive effect of NSAIDs is mainly due totheir common property of inhibiting cyclooxygenases involved in the formation of prostanoids. Prostanoids areformed by most cells and act as autocrine and paracrine lipid mediators. They are n
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also known as lipoglycans,
are large molecules consisting of a lipid and a polysaccharide
joined by a covalent bond; they are found in the outer
membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, act as endotoxins and
elicit strong immune responses in animals.
LPS is the major component of the outer membrane of
Gram-negative bacteria, contributing greatly to the structu
