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).

Methotrexate disodium
0 ImagesSynonyms: Amethopterin disodium; CL14377 disodium; WR19039 disodiumMethotrexate disodium (Amethopterin disodium; CL14377 disodium; WR19039 disodium) is an orally active antifolate (Antifolate). Methotrexate disodium inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), blocks tetrahydrofolate production, suppresses purine/pyrimidine synthesis and transmethylation, and causes intracellular accumulation of AICAR. Methotrexate disodium promotes extracellular adenosine release, regulates the cytokine network, and inhibits the alarmin function of HMGB1. Methotrexate disodium induces apoptosis and cytotoxicity, upregulates the expression of iNOS and COX-2, suppresses hippocampal neurogenesis, and induces pulmonary fibrosis. Methotrexate disodium is used in the research of various immune and inflammation-related diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as pulmonary fibrosis and breast cancer.

Xanthohumol
0 ImagesXanthohumol is one of the principal flavonoids isolated from hops, the inhibitor of diacylglycerol acetyltransferase (DGAT), COX-1 and COX-2, and shows anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic activities. Xanthohumol also has antiviral activity against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), rhinovirus, HSV-1, HSV-2 and cytomegalovirus (CMV).
-
Hederagenin
0 ImagesHederagenin is a triterpenoid saponin with orally active and antitumor activity. Hederagenin can inhibit the expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB in cells induced by LPS stimulation. Hederagenin also increases ROS production in cancer cells, disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential, and induces apoptosis. Hederagenin also sensitizes cancer cells to Cisplatin (HY-17394) and Paclitaxel (HY-B0015), enhancing induced apoptosis. Hederagenin can also bind to SKP2, with KD = 67.9 μM. Hederagenin also has preventive potential against alcoholic liver injury.

Diclofenac Sodium
0 ImagesSynonyms: GP 45840Diclofenac Sodium (GP 45840) is a potent and nonselective anti-inflammatory agent, acts as a COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 4 and 1.3 nM for human COX-1 and COX-2 in CHO cells, and 5.1 and 0.84 μM for ovine COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Diclofenac Sodium induces apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) via the activation of the caspase cascade.

EIPA hydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: L593754 hydrochloride; MH 12-43 hydrochloride; Ethylisopropylamiloride hydrochlorideEIPA (L593754) hydrochloride is an orally active TRPP3 channel inhibitor with an IC50 of 10.5 μM. EIPA hydrochloride also enhances autophagy by inhibiting Na+/H+-exchanger 3 (NHE3). EIPA hydrochloride inhibits macropinocytosis as well. EIPA hydrochloride can be used in the research of inflammation and cancers, such as gastric cancer, colon carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma.
-
Ketoprofen
0 ImagesSynonyms: RP-19583Ketoprofen (RP-19583) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Ketoprofen can inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase with IC50 values of 2 nM (COX-1) and 26 nM (COX-2). which is potential in the research of inflammation, immunology, and metabolic disease such as obesity.
-
Isoacteoside
0 ImagesSynonyms: IsoverbascosideIsoacteoside is a natural product that can significantly inhibit the formation of glycation end products. Isoacteoside regulates the AKT/PI3K/m-TOR/NF-κB signaling pathway, induces apoptosis in OVCAR-3 cell. Isoacteoside exhibits antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and neuroprotective activities.
-
Rebamipide
0 ImagesSynonyms: OPC12759; ProamipideRebamipide (OPC12759) is an orally active gastroprotective agent that enhances the production of endogenous PGs (especially intragastric PGE2) by inducing COX-2 expression, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa from injury. Rebamipide exerts anti-proliferative activity against gastric cancer cells. Rebamipide can be used in studies of mucosal protection, gastroduodenal ulcer, gastritis and gastric cancer.
