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).

COX-2/5-LOX-IN-4
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-116763CAS No.: 443919-96-8COX-2/5-LOX-IN-4 (Compound 1) is a dual inhibitor that acts on both COX-2 and 5-LOX, with IC50 values of 0.05 μM for COX-2 and 0.003 μM for 5-LOX. By inhibiting the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway, COX-2/5-LOX-IN-4 reduces the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, alleviating inflammatory responses. In a rat ear edema model, intravenous administration (0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg) reduced edema by 41% and 44%, respectively, demonstrating significant anti-inflammatory effects. COX-2/5-LOX-IN-4 shows promise for studying the mechanisms of inflammatory diseases.

Leupeptin hemisulfate (Standard)
0 ImagesLeupeptin hemisulfate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Leupeptin hemisulfate (HY-18234A ). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Leupeptin hemisulfate is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor.
