Deguelin, a Naturally Occurring Rotenoid, Acts as a Chemopreventive Agent
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents more than 5% of all cancers each year. In addition, breast cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases. Approximately 60-70% of breast cancers express estrogen receptors (ER) and/or progesterone receptors (PR). About 20-30% of breast cancers have amplified levels of the...
Lumiracoxib is a Selective and Orally Active COX-2 Inhibitor and Nonselective NSAID
Prostaglandins play an important role in modulating both physiological and inflammatory processes. They can act as autocrine factors regulating platelet aggregation, vascular tone, and secretions. Additionally, the synthesis of prostaglandin depends on the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX). There are existing two isoforms: COX-1 and COX-2. They are highly homologous...
CAY10404 is a Highly Selective COX-2 Inhibitor
Clooxygenase (COX) is an enzyme responsible for the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, including thromboxanes and prostaglandins. Specifically, it is a member of the animal heme peroxidase family, also known as prostaglandin G/H synthase. Besides, cyclooxygenase-2 is a candidate gene for lung injury induced by mechanical ventilation. COX-2...
