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).

Eicosatetraynoic acid
0 ImagesEicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA) is a non-metabolizable analog of Arachidonic acid (HY-109590) and also an inhibitor of the lipoxygenase (LOX)/cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway (ID50 = 8 μM and 4 μM). Eicosatetraynoic acid acts as a suicide substrate to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins. Eicosatetraynoic acid acts directly on cell membranes and membrane proteins to exert a wide range of effects, including blocking potassium channels, increasing cell membrane fluidity, elevating intracellular calcium levels, inhibiting DNA synthesis in tumor cells, inducing differentiation of certain cells, and specifically inhibiting the assembly and replication of orthopoxviruses. Eicosatetraynoic acid alleviates acute lung injury induced by chemicals such as phosgene.

Iminostilbene
0 ImagesIminostilbene is a chemical precursor of carbamazepine. Additionally, Iminostilbene is an orally active inhibitor of PKM2 (Pyruvate Kinase M2) and COX2 (Cyclooxygenase-2). Iminostilbene exerts its effects by inhibiting PKM2 and its interaction with HIF-1α and STAT3, reducing COX2 and iNOS expression, and decreasing LPS-induced release of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1, thereby suppressing macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses and improving myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Iminostilbene holds promise for research in inflammation regulation, cardiovascular diseases (such as MI/R injury), and macrophage-mediated immune-related diseases.
