Cyclooxygenases: Structural, Cellular, and Molecular Biology
▪ Abstract The prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases-1 and 2 (PGHS-1 and PGHS-2; also cyclooxygenases-1 and 2, COX-1 and COX-2) catalyze the committed step in prostaglandin syn...
Prostaglandins and Inflammation
Prostaglandins are lipid autacoids derived from arachidonic acid. They both sustain homeostatic functions and mediate pathogenic mechanisms, including the inflammatory response....
The COXIB Experience: A Look in the Rearview Mirror
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most widely used prescription and nonprescription drugs in the world. The discovery of cyclooxygenase (COX) as the t...
Prostaglandin Endoperoxide H Synthases (Cyclooxygenases)-1 and −2
Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases (PGHSs)1 catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid and O2 to PGH2, the committed step in prostanoid biosynthesis (Fig. 1) (1). Before 19...
Fluorophore‐Labeled Cyclooxygenase‐2 Inhibitors for the Imaging of Cyclooxygenase‐2 Overexpression in Cancer: Synthesis and Biological Studies
Abstract A group of cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2)‐specific fluorescent cancer biomarkers were synthesized by linking the anti‐inflammatory drugs ibuprofen, ( S )‐naproxen, and celeco...
