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 …

Meloxicam is an enolcarboxamide with preferential COX-2 inhibitory activity. In vitro studies with human tissues have confirmed the high affinity of meloxicam for COX-2, whereas COX-1 was ...

COX-2 was cloned in 1991, and it was subsequently established that COX-1 does not appear to play a major role in inflammation while COX-2 catalyzes the production of proinflammatory …

Feb 6, 2001 · Question. Can both cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 medications be combined for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) pain not relieved by high doses of either group …

COX-1 activity converts AA to PGG 2, which is then converted to PGH 2 by the hydroperoxidase activity of PGH synthase-1 (Figure 1). PGH synthase-1 is colloquially termed as COX-1.

Functional COX-1 and COX-2 proteins contain 576 and 587 amino acids, respectively, and within the same species COX-1 and COX-2 share 60–65% amino acid sequence identity. The 3D …

In the test for COX-1 selectivity, the inhibition of thromboxane B2 production induced by meloxicam 15mg once daily was greater than that by rofecoxib 12.5-25mg once daily (53.3% …

Meloxicam is an enolcarboxamide with preferential COX-2 activity. Studies conducted on experimental models and human tissues indicate that meloxicam is a more potent inhibitor of …

1.09 (1.02-1.15) c a COX-2 = cyclooxygenase-2; NSAID = nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug; MI = myocardial infarction; NA = not available. b Some studies included multiple comparator groups.
