Actions and Spectrum:
Central Nervous System (CNS):acetaminophen primarily acts on the CNS by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers involved in pain perception and body temperature regulation. It is thought to exert its analgesic effects by primarily targeting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, especially COX-2, in the CNS.
Endocannabinoid System:acetaminophen has also been found to indirectly modulate the endocannabinoid system in the CNS. It inhibits the uptake of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide, leading to increased levels of this neurotransmitter. Activating the endocannabinoid system may contribute to the analgesic effects of acetaminophen.
