For ten points, name these compounds produced by nearly every cell in the body, but which got their name from the Swedish physiologist Ulf von Euler from their discovery in semen.
Their synthesis is blocked by non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like aspirin and naproxen, which work by inhibiting cyclooxygenases. Derived from the parent compound arachidonic acid, these eicosanoid compounds are used as messengers for many different intercellular messages, but most significantly, pain.
