The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have shaped the efficacy and safety of these agents in the treatment of asthma. Important pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics that can enhance the efficacy of ICS include small particle size, high glucocorticoid-receptor-binding affinity, long pulmonary residence time and lipid conjugation. These ch...

inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (seh) represent one of the novel pharmaceutical approaches for treating hypertension, vascular inflammation, pain and other cardiovascular related diseases. most of the potent seh inhibitors reported in literature often suffer from poor solubility and bioavailability. toward improving pharmacokinetic profile beside favorable potency, two series of 4-benza...

The chemical structure of oligonucleotide analogues dictates the conformation analogue oligomers, their ability to hybridize complementary DNA and RNA, stability degradation pharmacokinetic properties. In a study aimed at investigating new featuring neutral backbone, we explored oligomers containing morpholino-peptide backbone bind oligonucleotides. Circular Dichroism studies revealed our inter...

Coxibs such as celecoxib, rofecoxib and valdecoxib are introduced as selective COX-2 inhibitors to the market. It has been reported that inhibition of COX-2 beside traditional effects of NSAIDs, reduces the risk of colorectal, breast and lung cancers and slow the progress of Alzheimer’s disease. Zarghi et al. reported 8-benzoyl-2-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acid (AZGH 102) ...
