Cyclo‐oxygenase‐2: pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry and relevance to NSAID therapy

Open access

Abstract

Cyclo‐oxygenase is expressed in cells in two distinct isoforms. Cyclo‐oxygenase‐1 is present constitutively whilst cyclo‐oxygenase‐2 is expressed primarily after inflammatory insult. The activity of cyclo‐oxygenase‐1 and ‐2 results in the production of a variety of potent biological mediators (the prostaglandins) that regulate homeostatic and disease processes. Inhibitors of cyclo‐oxygenase include the nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac. NSAIDs inhibit cyclo‐oxygenase‐2 at the site of inflammation, to produce their therapeutic benefits, as well as cyclo‐oxygenase‐1 in the gastric mucosa, which produces gastric damage. Most recently selective inhibitors of cyclo‐oxygenase‐2 have been developed and introduced to man for the treatment of arthritis. Moreover, recent epidemiological evidence suggests that cyclo‐oxygenase inhibitors may have important therapeutic relevance in the prevention of some cancers or even Alzheimer's disease. This review will discuss how the new advancements in NSAIDs research has led to the development of a new class of NSAIDs that has far reaching implications for the treatment of disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
