Celecoxib was based on the design of aspirin, which means that it is a: Selective COX-1 inhibitor. Second generation NSAID. Non-selective COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitor. More potent drug than aspirin. Functionally, the difference between aspirin and celecoxib is that: A Aspirin inhibits the production of arachidonic acid, while celecoxib inhibits the activation of inflammation. B. Celecoxib binds irreversibly to COX-2, whilst aspirin binds both COX-1 and COX-2 reversibly. C. Aspirin irreversibly binds to COX-1 and COX-2, while celecoxib binds reversibly to COX-2 only. D. A and $B$ are correct.
