background there are hoarding documents for the biological importance of cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) in pancreatic carcinogenesis. we aimed to thoroughly investigate the dna sequence variations of whole cox-2 exons in a large case-control study of pancreatic cancer by direct sequencing.   methods the entire exonic regions of cox-2 including 10 exons were sequenced in the germline dna of 96 patient...

a group of 1,3-biarylhydrazide derivatives possessing a cox-2 azido pharmacophore at the para- position of the c-1 phenyl ring in conjunction with a n-3 phenyl or substituted-phenyl ring (4-f,4-cl,4-ome) were designed and synthesized based on nucleophilic substitution reaction. a molecular modelling study of these compounds showed that the designed molecules were well bound with the active site...
