Cyclooxygenases and prostaglandin E2 receptors in growth plate chondrocytes in vitro and in situ : prostaglandin E2 dependent proliferation of growth plate chondrocytes [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in bone development and metabolism. To interfere therapeutically in the PGE2 pathway, however, knowledge about the involved enzymes (cyclooxygenases) and receptors (PGE2 receptors) is essential.

Spherical harmonics coefficients for ligand-based virtual screening of cyclooxygenase inhibitors. [PDF]
Molecular descriptors are essential for many applications in computational chemistry, such as ligand-based similarity searching. Spherical harmonics have previously been suggested as comprehensive descriptors of molecular structure and properties.

SELECTIVE CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 INHIBITORS
The identification of COX-2 less than a decade ago has been followed by an unprecedented period of discovery and drug development. An awareness of the existence of two COX isoforms has led to potential novel insights into disease pathogenesis (arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, cancer) and the regulation of normal physiology (brain, kidney).

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 ...

Update on Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors [PDF]
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs represent the most commonly used medications for the treatment of pain and inflammation, but numerous well-described side effects can limit their use. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors were initially touted as a therapeutic strategy to avoid not only the gastrointestinal but also the renal and cardiovascular side ...

Wide therapeutic time window for nimesulide neuroprotection in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat [PDF]
Results from several studies indicate that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved ischemic brain injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of the selective COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide on cerebral infarction and ...
