COX
Cyclooxygenase
Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Drugs, like Aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The main COX inhibitors are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

4-CPPC
0 Images4-CPPC is a selective MIF-2 inhibitor with a Ki of 33 µM. 4-CPPC inhibits the COX2/PGE2 pathway, reduces the levels of COX2 and mPGES-1, and decreases the production of PGE2. 4-CPPC attenuates the formation of early atherosclerotic lesions in hyperlipidemic mice, and lowers the levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. 4-CPPC inhibits MIF-2-triggered cell migration. 4-CPPC improves hindlimb motor function in rats with contusion-induced spinal cord injury. 4-CPPC can be used in studies related to atherosclerosis and spinal cord injury.
