Evaluation of machine-learning methods for ligand-based virtual screening [PDF]
Machine-learning methods can be used for virtual screening by analysing the structural characteristics of molecules of known (in)activity, and we here discuss the use of kernel discrimination and naive Bayesian classifier (NBC) methods for this purpose ...

Similarity-based virtual screening using 2D fingerprints [PDF]
This paper summarises recent work at the University of Sheffield on virtual screening methods that use 2D fingerprint measures of structural similarity. A detailed comparison of a large number of similarity coefficients demonstrates that the well-known ...

Clinical experience with cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are chronic conditions requiring long-term therapy for pain relief. Currently prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) provide symptomatic efficacy, but are frequently associated with gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities such as dyspepsia and ulcerations.

Reduction in the risk of human breast cancer by selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors
BackgroundEpidemiologic and laboratory investigations suggest that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have chemopreventive effects against breast cancer due to their activity against cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the rate-limiting enzyme of the ...

Celecoxib inhibits proliferation and survival of chronic myelogeous leukemia (CML) cells via AMPK-dependent regulation of β-catenin and mTORC1/2. [PDF]
CML is effectively treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, the efficacy of these drugs is confined to the chronic phase of the disease and development of resistance to TKIs remains a pressing issue.

BACKGROUND The development of non-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (tNSAIDs) and, more recently, of selective inhibitors of the cycloooxygenase-2 isoform (COXIBs), has contributed greatly towards the effective management of patients with ...

Recent development on COX-2 inhibitors as promising anti-inflammatory agents: The past 10 years
Cyclooxygenases play a vital role in inflammation and are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Two cyclooxygenases are described, the constitutive cyclooxygenase-1 and the inducible cyclooxygenase-2, for which the target inhibitors are the ...
