COX-2/CA II-1
COX-2/CA II-1 is an orally active dual selective inhibitor targeting COX-2 and hCA II. COX-2/CA II-1 inhibits COX-2 with an IC50 value of 0.13 μM (SI = 9.25 vs COX-1) and hCA II with a Ki value of 39.1 nM (SI = 933.8 vs hCA I). COX-2/CA II-1 demonstrates significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in animal models, shows improved gastric safety with reduced ulcerogenic liability, and exhibits intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects in rabbit glaucoma models. COX-2/CA II-1 can be used for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiglaucoma research.

In Vitro
COX-2/CA II-1 (compound 5b) inhibits COX-1 with an IC50 of 1.19 μM and COX-2 with an IC50 of 0.13 μM, corresponding to a selectivity index (SI) of 9.25[1].
COX-2/CA II-1 inhibits hCA XII with a Ki of 34.2 nM, hCA II with a Ki of 39.1 nM, and hCA I with a Ki of 36,510 nM, with selectivity indices SI I/II = 933.8 and SI XII/II = 0.87[1].
COX-2/CA II-1 binds to the hCA II active site (PDB: 1Z9Y), forming Zn coordination, hydrogen bonds with Thr199/Thr200 and Gln92, and hydrophobic interactions with Phe131[1].
COX-2/CA II-1 binds to the COX-2 active site (PDB: 5KIR), forming hydrogen bonds with Arg513, Phe518, Gln192 and Leu352, and π-π stacking with Tyr355[1].

In Vivo
COX-2/CA II-1 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose for 6 h) exhibits anti-inflammatory activity with an apparent early onset of action, reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema with inhibition rates of 22.8% (2 h), 49.2% (3 h), 56.6% (4 h), 73.0% (5 h) and 72.3% (6 h) in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model using adult male albino rats[1].
COX-2/CA II-1 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose for 24 h) attenuates gastric irritation, affording 50.2% (vs Ibuprofen) protection at 3 h and 35.5% protection (vs Ibuprofen) at the 24 h time point in acute Gastric Ulcer Model using adult male albino rats[1].
COX-2/CA II-1 (1% solution, 0.05 mL; topical administration) produces a rapid and significant reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) in hypertonic saline-induced glaucoma model using adult male New Zealand albino rabbits[1].

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co
