Effect of a selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 on the small bowel of rats.

The effects of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on the gastric emptying and small intestine transit in the male rats following traumatic brain injury

Objective(s):This study was carried out to investigate the effects of COX-2 selective inhibitor (Celecoxib) or non-selective COX inhibitor (Ibuprofen) on gastrointestinal motility. Materials and Methods: The rats were randomly divided into five groups including: intact, sham, traumatic brain injury (TBI) group (intact rats under TBI), Celecoxib group (10 mg/kg), Ibuprofen group (10 mg/kg). Rats...

A Rare Complication with the Concomitant use of Warfarin and Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Hemoperitoneum and Intramural Small Bowel Hematoma

Role of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in satellite cell proliferation, differentiation, and fusion.

Skeletal muscle satellite cells play an important role in muscle regeneration. Previous work has suggested that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may inhibit their activity. We cultured skeletal muscle satellite cells from 9-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats and exposed them to naproxen sodium (a nonselective cyclooxygenase inhibitor), NS-398 (a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor), and SC-560 ...

Designing and Synthesis of Novel Celecoxib Derivatives with Aminosulfonylmethyl and Azidomethyl Substituents as Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors

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) andCyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), has led to the synthesis and introduction of novel drugs with select...
