U of I scientist develops enzyme inhibitor that may slow cancer growth
Despite the reported beneficial effects after noncardiac surgical procedures, the safety of selective cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX2) inhibitors has been questioned. Studies have shown that their use after ...

EurekAlert!: Cox-2 enzyme plays important role regulating acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury
While the catalyst for pancreatitis is not well known, it is thought that enzymes normally secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form become activated inside the pancreas and start to digest the ...

Medscape: Defining the COX Inhibitor Selectivity of NSAIDs: Implications for Understanding Toxicity
All NSAIDs variably inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 and the mechanisms of inhibition fall into three broad categories, although there are exceptions. For example, nimesulide is a weak competitive inhibitor of ...
A drug developer's dream, rationally designed to quell inflammation, COX-2 inhibitors are also prime candidates for preventing cancer or its recurrence. Gary J. Kelloff, chief of the chemoprevention ...
New York, NY, – Research by neurologists at Columbia University suggests that COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex and Vioxx may someday help Parkinson's disease patients by preventing the ...
Enzymes are proteins that can change shape and therefore become active or inactive. An activator molecule (green pentagon) can bind to an enzyme (light green puzzle shape) and change its overall shape ...
