Arachidonic Acid Oxygenation by COX-1 and COX-2 MECHANISMS OF CATALYSIS AND INHIBITION*□S
Prostaglandins were discovered in human semen in 1930, but their low concentrations and instability precluded identification for nearly 30 years (for a brief historical review, see Ref. 1). Once they were identified, it was clear they arose from polyunsaturated fatty acids by a complex series of reactions involving oxygenation, cyclization, and the generation of five chiral centers from an achi...

متن کاملVasoactive prostanoids are generated from arachidonic acid by COX-1 and COX-2 in the mouse.
Generation of vasoactive prostanoids from arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 was investigated in anesthetized mice. Intravenous injections of the prostanoid precursor arachidonic acid increased pulmonary arterial pressure and decreased systemic arterial pressure. Pulmonary pressor and systemic depressor responses were attenuated by SC-560 and nimesulide, inhibitors of COX-1 an...
متن کاملCOX-1 and COX-2 products in the gut: therapeutic impact of COX-2 inhibitors.
Despite the considerable range of newly identified disease modifying approaches to the control of the inflammatory process reported over the past 10–20 years, only a few have yet gained widespread clinical acceptance. In contrast, the very recent advent of the class of anti-inflammatory agents termed COX-2 selective inhibitors is already having a significant impact on current clinical prescribi...
متن کاملDifferential Sensitivity and Mechanism of Inhibition of COX-2 Oxygenation of Arachidonic Acid and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol by Ibuprofen and Mefenamic Acid†
Ibuprofen and mefenamic acid are weak, competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) oxygenation of arachidonic acid (AA) but potent, noncompetitive inhibitors of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) oxygenation. The slow, tight-binding inhibitor, indomethacin, is a potent inhibitor of 2-AG and AA oxygenation whereas the rapidly reversible inhibitor, 2'-des-methylindomethacin, is a potent inhibit...
