The safety of COX-2 inhibitors

Orvosi Hetilap, 2008
A nemszteroid gyulladáscsökkentők (NSAID) a leggyakrabban alkalmazott gyógyszerek közé tartoznak világszerte. Az NSAID-ok súlyos emésztőszervi mellékhatásokat okozhatnak, a szerek a tápcsatorna bármely szakaszát károsíthatják. A ciklooxigenáz-2- (COX-2-) gátlók (coxibok) kifejlesztésétől változatlan gyulladáscsökkentő hatás mellett kedvezőbb ...

HNE as an inducer of COX-2

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2017
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an inducible isoform responsible for high levels of prostaglandin (PG) production during inflammation and immune responses, mediate a variety of biological actions involved in vascular pathophysiology. COX-2 is induced by various stimuli, including proinflammatory cytokines, to result in PG synthesis associated with ...

Selective Inhibitors of Cox-2

1995
The main target of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is prostaglandin G/H synthase (PGHS), also known as cyclooxygenase (COX), which exists as two isoforms. In order to evaluate the contributions of PGHS isoforms to physiological and pathological conditions and their sensitivity to inhibition by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, we ...

COX-2 and colon cancer

Inflammation Research, 1998
The role of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in colorectal tumorigenesis in mice was studied by Oshima et al. to determine the effects of COX-2 gene knockouts and a new COX-2 inhibitor. In the study, heterozygous Apcdelta716 knockout mice, a mouse model of human familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), were either crossed to COX-2 gene knockout mice, or fed chow ...

COX-2 and Colorectal Cancer

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2003
Metabolites of arachidonic acid participate in normal growth responses and in aberrant cellular growth and proliferation, including carcinogenesis. The key step in the conversion of free arachidonic acid to prostaglandins is catalyzed by the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX). There are two COX enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2.

COX-2 in cancer

2004
Multiple epidemiological studies indicate that the use of aspirin and other NSAIDs are associated with reduced risk of malignancies especially in the digestive tract. In addition, another NSAID sulindac causes regression of colorectal adenomatous polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) [1, 2]. Recent studies suggest that COX-2 is a

The discovery of COX-2

2004
For over 3000 years various herbal medicines, such as extracts of willow bark, or dried leaves of myrtle or meadowsweet have been used with apparent anecdotal success for the treatment of the pain and swelling of inflammatory disease. By the middle of the nineteenth century the active constituent of these various herbal remedies was found to be ...

COX-2 Inhibitors and the Kidney

Hospital Practice, 2001
Prostaglandins produced by the COX-2 isoform of cyclooxygenase may be important for renal function--and perhaps even more so in diseases that render the kidney highly prostaglandin-dependent. COX-2 inhibitors may thus have much the same renal risks that a standard NSAID does. Several clinical trials have already focused on the new drugs' renal effects.

Biochemistry of Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 Inhibitors and Molecular Pathology of COX-2 in Neoplasia

Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 2000
Several types of human tumors overexpress cyclooxygenase (COX) -2 but not COX-1, and gene knockout transfection experiments demonstrate a central role of COX-2 in experimental tumorigenesis. COX-2 produces prostaglandins that inhibit apoptosis and stimulate angiogenesis and invasiveness.
