Structural and functional basis of cyclooxygenase inhibition.
Brief History. The use of medicinal substances for the treatment of pain and fever dates to ancient Egyptian and Grecian civilizations, where dried myrtle leaves or bitter extracts from the bark of poplar trees were used to treat back and abdominal pain. The Ebers papyrus from ancient Egypt (1850 B.C.) is the oldest preserved medical text and contains the first record documenting the use of pla...
متن کاملFunctional and Structural Basis of Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) is the key regulatory enzyme of hepatic long-chain fatty acid -oxidation. Human CPT1A deficiency is characterized by recurrent attacks of hypoketotic hypoglycemia. We presently analyzed at both the functional and structural levels five missense mutations identified in three CPT1A-deficient patients, namely A275T, A414V, Y498C, G709E, and G710E. Heterolo...
متن کاملStructural basis of fatty acid substrate binding to cyclooxygenase-2.
The cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) are membrane-associated heme-containing homodimers that generate prostaglandin H(2) from arachidonic acid (AA). Although AA is the preferred substrate, other fatty acids are oxygenated by these enzymes with varying efficiencies. We determined the crystal structures of AA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) bound to Co(3+)-protoporph...
متن کاملMolecular basis of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COXs) selective inhibition.
The widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs block the cyclooxygenase enzymes (COXs) and are clinically used for the treatment of inflammation, pain, and cancers. A selective inhibition of the different isoforms, particularly COX-2, is desirable, and consequently a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of selective inhibition is of great demand. Using an advanced computational tec...
متن کاملThe structural basis of endocannabinoid oxygenation by cyclooxygenase-2.
The cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) oxygenate arachidonic acid (AA) in the committed step of prostaglandin biogenesis. Substitutions of I434V, H513R, and I523V constitute the only differences in residues lining the cyclooxygenase channel between COX-1 and COX-2. These changes create a hydrophobic pocket in COX-2, with Arg-513 located at the base of the pocket, which has been exploited in the ...
