Several studies point to an important function of cyclooxygenase (COX) and prostaglandin signaling in models of synaptic plasticity which is associated with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). Cyclooxygenase gene is suggested to be an immediate early gene that is tightly regulated in neurons by NMDA dependent synaptic activity. Nonsteroid Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) exert their antiinf...

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...

Introduction: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are used in treating pathologic conditions such as fever, pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and consequently prostaglandin production. Recently , the discovery of different isoforms of this enzyme, Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) andCyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), has led to the synthesis and introduction of novel drugs with select...

Recently , the discovery of different isoforms of this enzyme, Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and Cyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), has led to the synthesis and introduction of novel drugs with selec...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widely used therapeutics against pain, fever, and inflammation; additionally, antitumor properties reported. NSAIDs reduce synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms COX-1 COX-2. As nonselective inhibition is associated with off-target effects, strategies to achieve selectivity for clinically preferred isofo...
