Ocular Inflammation and Nsaids: an Overview with Selective and Non-selective Cox Inhibitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inflammation is a complex biological response and like other parts of the body, ocular inflammation could have untoward effects on vision if not detected and/or diagnosed early. NSAIDs are the major ocular therapeutics for treating such eye inflammations and preferred over corticosteroids. NSAIDs are given orally as well as topically to treat ocular inflammations, however topical route is preferred over systemic route for treating such conditions. To further decrease the adverse effects caused by NSAIDs due to their non-selective nature, preferential cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are preferred over non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors. The present review covers various facets of NSAIDs in ocular drug delivery for treating ocular inflammatory condition.

Selective COX-2 Inhibitors: A Review of Their Structure-Activity Relationships
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme which mediates the bioconversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins (PGs). Their use is associated with the side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. The therapeutic anti-inflammatory action of NSAIDs is produced by the inhibition of COX-2, while the ...

Introduction: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are used in treating pathologic conditions such as fever, pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and consequently prostaglandin production. Recently , the discovery of different isoforms of this enzyme, Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and Cyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), has led to the synthesis and introduction of novel drugs with selec...

Background and purpose: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain among the most widely prescribed drugs worldwide for the treatment of inflammation including pain-releasing, anti-pyretic and rheumatoid arthritis. The conventional NSAIDs exert their effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Subsequent research and rational drug design validated the initial concept that a ...
