Advances in Preventive Therapy for Estrogen-Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Preventing breast cancer is an effective strategy for reducing breast cancer deaths. The purpose of chemoprevention (also termed preventive therapy) is to reduce cancer incidence by use of natural, synthetic, or biological agents.

Frataxin deficiency increases cyclooxygenase 2 and prostaglandins in cell and animal models of Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]
An inherited deficiency of the mitochondrial protein frataxin causes Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA); the mechanism by which this deficiency triggers neuro- and cardio-degeneration is unclear.

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).

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.

Arzanol, a prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl pyrone, inhibits eicosanoid biosynthesis and exhibits anti-inflammatory efficacy in vivo. [PDF]
Based on its capacity to inhibit in vitro HIV-1 replication in T cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in monocytes, the prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl α-pyrone arzanol was identified as the major anti-inflammatory and anti-viral ...

Ascorbic acid enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on neuronal cyclooxygenase-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 production. [PDF]
Inhibition of neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and hence prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been suggested to protect neuronal cells in a variety of pathophysiological situations including Alzheimer's disease ...

Cardiovascular Effects of the Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors [PDF]
Cyclooxyenase (COX)-2 selective inhibitors were developed to create a new class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with properties similar to those of nonselective NSAIDS but without their potential COX-1–mediated gastrointestinal toxicities.1,2 Studies of the various COX-2 selective inhibitors have shown that they are in fact associated ...
