Biochem Physiol Actions: Tarenflurbil (or R-flurbiprofen) is an R enantiomer of racemic NSAID flurbiprofen that does not inhibit either cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) or cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). Tarenflurbil potently reduces levels of beta amyloid in human cells through direct inhibition of gamma-secretase.
