General description
A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that acts as a reversible, competitive, non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor (IC50 = 4.85 µM for purified COX-1 and 223 µM for purified COX-2). Also reported to inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 activity in intact bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) (IC50 = 7 µM for COX-1 and 72.7 µM for COX-2). Potently blocks aspirin inactivation of COX-1 (EC50 antagonism of 200 µM aspirin ~290 nM for ovine COX-1). Decreases the secretion of total Aβ (Amyloid β40&42) by human neuronal cells and offers neuroprotection against glutamate-, nitric oxide- and superoxide-induced damage. Activates peroxisome proliferator activated receptors α and γ in both CV-1 and C3H10T1/2 cells (~100 µM - 500 µM).

Both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, and the prototypical selective cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 inhibitors DuP-697 and NS-398 block the inhibition of Cox-1 by aspirin in vitro. However, clinical studies have shown that the Cox-2 selective drugs (or coxibs) rofecoxib and

Constitutive cyclooxygenase (COX-1; prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase, EC 1.14.99.1) is present in cells under physiological conditions, whereas COX-2 is induced by some cytokines, mitogens, and endotoxin presumably in pathological conditions, such as inflammation. Therefore, we have assessed the relative inhibitory effects of
