The inhibition of COX-2 is paramount for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic function of the selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib. ibuprofen inhibit COX-2 and
Comments NSAIDs (Ibuprofen) and selective COX-2 inhibitors (Celecoxib) Celecoxib (Celebrex) and other COX-2 Selective Inhibitors Non
The selectivity of diclofenac for COX-2 over COX-1 inhibition in vitro is lower than that of celecoxib, but diclofenac provides greater COX-2
Celecoxib predominantly inhibits the COX-2 enzyme; referred to as selective COX-2 inhibition. Celecoxib is therefore less likely to produce
In study of combination therapy of COX-2 inhibitors with other antitumor drugs, the most commonly used COX-2 inhibitor was celecoxib. Celecoxib is a COX-2 specific inhibitor with only a weak effect on COX-1. Compared with other NSAIDs, celecoxib has a lower rate of gastrointestinal and renal adverse events.
Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor (IC50 values are 15 and 0.04 μM for COX-1 and COX-2 respectively).
In this lecture, we discuss COX-2 Inhibitors (Celecoxib) - Therapeutic NSAIDs (Ibuprofen) and selective COX-2 inhibitors (Celecoxib).
inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, primarily via selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and at therapeutic concentrations in humans, celecoxib is not highly effective in inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) isoenzyme. Celecoxib is times more selective for COX-2 compared to COX-1.
Selective COX-2 inhibitors are NSAIDs that block more COX-2 than COX-1. Celecoxib (Celebrex) is currently the only selective COX-2 inhibitor available by
