"It is known that nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-κB), present in the cytoplasm of cells, plays a role in the transcription of genes associated with inflammation when activated.13,14 NF-κB p65 can be activated by SARS-CoV-2 through the activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).15,16 In vitro studies have shown that ibuprofen can suppress NF-κB p65 activity, thereby reducing inflammation in COVID-19 patients.17 Patients with PD have a higher susceptibility to COVID-19 infection due to their advanced age."

"In the case of RELA, ibuprofen was also able to inhibit the increase in RELA by inflammatory cytokines in a significant manner (p < 0.05), confirming the anti-inflammatory properties of ibuprofen in our model.At the protein level, the expression of COX-1 and COX-2 was verified by Western blotting using samples of inflammation studies."
