Drugs that specifically inhibit the COX-2 enzyme were formulated and put into clinical trials during the past 5 years. These drugs are now available to treat patients in the United States. Specific COX-2 inhibitors offer the benefit of being able to treat the pain and inflammation of arthritis...
Cox-2 inhibitor - an anti-inflammatory drug that fights pain and blocks Cox-2 activity without impeding the activity of Cox-1; increases the risk of heart attacks; "Cox-2 inhibitors reduce the symptoms of arthritis without endangering the stomach and kidneys" anti-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory...
Prostanoids that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever are synthesized through the action of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme that is constitutively expressed in the brain but can be induced in other tissues by cytokines. In both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, COX-2 inhibitors have be...
COX-2 inhibitorsBackground/Aims: The role of COX-2 for renal function during renal development, for physiology and pathophysiology of renal diseases and the side effects of available COX-2 inhibitors, has gained increasing interest. We aimed therefore to review the respective role of renal COX-2...

andketoprofenare available as over-the-counter drugs in the United States. The cox-2 inhibitors, such as celecoxib (Celebrex), selectively inhibit clooxygenase-2 (cox-2), an enzyme that causes pain and inflammation in arthritic joints, but do not interfere with cox-1, which protects the stom...
Indol-2-ones as selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2Indol-2-ones as selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2The present invention relates to cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors of formula I: pharmaceutical compositions containing them, to their medicinal use, and to their preparations. Th...
Thus, a strong association exists between COX-2 expression and meningioma tumor grade. More aggressive tumors express COX-2 with more intensity. Thus, studies examining COX-2 inhibitors for anticancer intervention are further warranted. Clinical evidence supports a link between meningioma formation and ...
Abstract Inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) have been heralded as new, effective therapies for both pain relief and cancer prevention. However, recent findings indicate that COX2 inhibitors, when used long term, significantly increase the risk of death from heart attack or stroke. To read ...
may not be the mechanism by which COX2 regulates the aging process. Currently, how COX2 induces aging phenotypes is not clear. At the cellular level, COX2 inhibitors suppressed the replicative senescence, while PGE2promoted cellular senescence [58-60], suggesting the involvement of prostaglandins ...
