Biochem Physiol Actions: Vedaprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has been found to have antimicrobial activity. Vedaprofen is primarily used as a veterinary analgesic and anti-inflammatory for arthritis and pain. Its anti-inflammatory activity is due to cyclooxygenase inihbition, while its antimicrobial activity is less certain. Vedaprofen can kill B. subtilis by permeabilizing its membrane. Other studies have shown vedaprofen can target the Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III beta subunit.
