Anti inflammatry effects of NIM-03, a novel selective inhibitor of cycrooxygenase-2 (COX-2).

Anti-inflammatory effects of selective COX-2 inhibitors.

In this study, effects of rofecoxib, celecoxib, nimesulide on the acute phase of inflammation were studied in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model and their influence on the chronic phase of inflammation was evaluated in the cotton pellet granuloma tests. Additionally, effects of these drugs on capillary vascular permeability were examined in the hyaluronidase test and were compared with tha...

synthesis of 3-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-5-(methylsulfonyl)-4h-1,2,4-triazole as selective cox-2 inhibitor

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Peptide-Like Analogues as Selective COX-2 Inhibitors

A new series of peptide-like derivatives containing different aromatic amino acids andpossessing pharmacophores of COX-2 inhibitors as SO2Me or N3 attached to the para positionof an end phenyl ring was synthesized for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)inhibitors. The synthetic reactions were based on the solid phase peptide synthesis methodusing Wang resin. One of the analogues, i...

Growth stimulation of COX-2-negative pancreatic cancer by a selective COX-2 inhibitor.

Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors are promising antiangiogenic agents in several preclinical models. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of selective COX-2 inhibitors on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production in vitro and angiogenesis and growth of pancreatic cancer in vivo, focusing on putative differences between COX-2-negative and COX-2-positive tumors. VE...
