The mechanism is based on the arachidonic acid cascade. Arachidonic acid can form 2 types of pro-inflammatory substances called prostaglandins and leucotriens. This reaction is promoted by 2 enzymes respectively, cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipo-oxygenase, resulting in inflammation, pain and joint destruction. Most of the anti-arthritic drugs are only COX2 inhibitors. AKBA inhibits 5-lipo-oxygenase pathway.
