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).

Glafenine hydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: Glafenin hydrochlorideGlafenine (Glafenin) hydrochloride is a non-selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-based COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor. Glafenine hydrochloride exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-cell migration effects by inhibiting the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway and reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Glafenine hydrochloride can induce cell cycle arrest in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells and reduce the synthesis of the extracellular matrix protein Tenascin. Glafenine hydrochloride can be used in the research of inflammatory-related diseases, vascular restenosis and cystic fibrosis (CF).

Lornoxicam
0 ImagesSynonyms: Chlortenoxicam; Ro 13-9297Lornoxicam (Chlortenoxicam) is an orally active oxycontin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and anticancer activities. Lornoxicam exhibits good inhibitory effects on both COX-1 and COX-2 (COX-1: IC50=0.005 μM; COX-2:IC50=0.008 μM) and inhibits the production of NO by iNOS (IC50=65 μM) and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 (IC50=54 μM). Lornoxicam also inhibits tumor cell proliferation and migration and induces tumor cell apoptosis. Lornoxicam can be used in the study of inflammatory pain, colorectal cancer and breast cancer.

Geranial
0 ImagesSynonyms: (E)-3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-dienalGeranial is an aromatic compound. It can be isolated from the fruits of Litsea cubeba Lour and the rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale). Geranial inhibits LPS-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK1/3 and IκB in macrophages. It suppresses the secretion of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6, as well as the expression of pro-IL-1β, iNOS and COX-2. Geranial increases ROS. It can be used in the research of inflammatory diseases.
