Metastatic Disease in a Murine Model of Breast Cancer Selective Cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 or COX-2 Inhibitors Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a highly metastatic mammary tumor cell line that expresses both cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms, we now show that oral administration of either a selective COX-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) or a selective COX-1 inhibitor (SC560) to mice with established tumors results in significant inhibition of tumor growth. Administration of the dual inhibitor, indomethacin, leads to even better growth control. Metastatic capacity is also reduced by treatment of tumor-bearing mice with either COX-1 or COX-2 selective inhibitors. Pretreatment of tumor cells with COX inhibitors also reduces metastatic success, indicating that tumor cells may be a direct target of action by COX inhibitors. Growth of a second cell line, which does not express COX-2 in vivo, is also reduced by celecoxib, implicating both COX-dependent and COX-independent mechanisms.

متن کاملSelective COX-2 Inhibitors: A Review of Their Structure-Activity Relationships
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme which mediates the bioconversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins (PGs). Their use is associated with the side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. The therapeutic anti-inflammatory action of NSAIDs is produced by the inhibition of COX-2, while the ...

A new group of 4-(Imidazolylmethyl) quinoline derivatives possessing a methylsulfonyl COX-2 pharmacophore at the para position of the C-2 phenyl ring were designed and synthesized as selective COX-2 inhibitors and in-vitro anti breast cancer agents. In-vitro COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition studies showed that all the compounds were potent and selective inhibitors of the COX-2 isozyme with IC50 value...

A group of regioisomeric 5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8 hexahydroquinoline derivatives possessing a COX-2 SO2Me pharmacophore at the para position of the C-2 or C-4 phenyl ring, in conjunction with a C-4 or C-2 phenyl (4-H) or substituted-phenyl ring (4-F,4-Cl,4-Br,4-OMe,4-Me, 4-NO2), were designed for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. These target 5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8 hexahydroquino...
