NSAIDs work on a chemical level. They block the effects of special enzymes -- specifically Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes. These enzymes play a key role in making prostaglandins. By blocking the Cox ...

This project is not being offered for the current term. Please check back next semester for updates. The cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) catalyze the committed step in the biosynthesis of ...

Research conducted at Uskudar University (Istanbul, Turkey) explored the neuroprotective potential of ethanolic extracts of ...

Topical ocular PG agonists have been developed for two purposes: to treat elevated IOP and slow the progression of glaucoma and to increase eyelash growth for cosmetic effect. NSAIDs (Inhibit COX ...

They’re called COX-2 inhibitors because they inhibit, or block, an enzyme (COX-2) that’s responsible for inflammation and other responses of the immune system. COX-2 inhibitors are available ...

or COX, enzyme. This enzyme plays a role in the inflammatory process. Advil and Aleve are both non-selective NSAIDs, meaning that they can bind to both the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Advil and Aleve ...

The first-in-human study, which imaged the COX-2 enzyme, offers a never-before-seen view of inflammation in the brain, opening the door for COX-2 PET imaging to be used in clinical and research ...

When investigating NSAID inhibition of COX in vitro some important considerations are the source of the enzyme, the Michaelis constant (K m) of the endogenous substrate arachidonic acid ...

Common brand names for ibuprofen include Motrin and Advil. It works by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which plays ...
