1. Design, synthesis and evaluation of biological derivatives pyrroles potentially antiinflamatory activity / Planejamento, síntese e avaliação biológica de derivados pirrólicos com potencial atividade antiinflamatória
The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most prescribed and used drugs in the world. These drugs inhibit the cyclooxygenases, enzymes responsible for conversion of arachidonic acid into phlogistic prostaglandins, by the action of phospholipase A2. The synthesis of compounds containing pyrrole nucleus in their structures has been a topi

2. Efeitos de toxinas com estrutura de fosfolipase A2, isoladas do veneno de Bothrops asper e Crotalus durissus terrificus, e dos respectivos venenos, sobre a expressão de ciclooxigenases e produção de prostaglandinas / Effects of toxins with phospholipase A2 structure isolated from Bothrops asper and Crotalus durissus terrificus venoms and the respective crude venoms on expression of cyclooxygenases and biosynthesis of prostaglandins.
A ação de fosfolipases A2 (FLA2s): miotoxinas (MTs) ?II e III, isoladas de Bothrops asper (VBa) e CB2, de Crotalus durissus terrificus (VCdt) e os venenos brutos, sobre a expressão de ciclooxigenases (COXs) e síntese de prostaglandina (PG) E2 e PGD2 foi avaliada. As MTs e VBa mas não CB2 e nem VCdt induziram a expressão de COX-2 por leucócitos. Em est

3. Effect of meloxicam on bone healing around titanium implants / Efeito do meloxicam sobre o reparo osseo ao redor de implantes de titanio
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, meloxicam, on bone healing around titanium implants in rats. Thirty-one adult male Wistar rats were included in this study and one screw-shaped titanium implant was inserted in the tibiae. The animals were randomly assigned to one of the following groups, for daily

4. The blockade of cyclooxygenases-1 and -2 reduces the effects of hypoxia on endothelial cells
Hypoxia activates endothelial cells by the action of reactive oxygen species generated in part by cyclooxygenases (COX) production enhancing leukocyte transmigration. We investigated the effect of specific COX inhibition on the function of endothelial cells exposed to hypoxia. Mouse immortalized endothelial cells were subjected to 30 min of oxygen deprivatio

5. The cyclooxygenases
Cyclooxygenases (COXs) catalyze the rate-limiting step in the production of prostaglandins, bioactive compounds involved in processes such as fever and sensitivity to pain, and are the target of aspirin-like drugs. In mammals, the two COX genes encode a constitutive isoenzyme (COX-1) and an inducible isoenzyme (COX-2).

6. Lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase metabolism: new insights in treatment and chemoprevention of pancreatic cancer
The essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid play an important role in pancreatic cancer development and progression. These fatty acids are metabolized to eicosanoids by cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases. Abnormal expression and activities of both cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases have been reported in pancreatic cancer. In this article, we

9. Cox-2: Where are we in 2003? - The role of cyclooxygenase-2 in bone repair
Prostaglandins are important mediators of bone repair, and cyclooxygenases are required for prostaglandin production. Data from animal studies suggest that both non-specific and specific inhibitors of cyclooxygenases impair fracture healing but that this is due to the inhibition of COX-2 and not COX-1. Although these data raise concerns about the use of COX-

10. Induction of cyclooxygenase-2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells by lysophosphatidylcholine.
Lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), a component of atherogenic lipoproteins and atherosclerotic lesions, has been recently suggested to play a role in atherogenesis. LysoPC is known to induce several endothelial genes involved in leukocyte recruitment, mitogenesis, and inflammation. Cyclooxygenases (prostaglandin H2 synthases) are rate-limiting enzymes involve

11. Developmental expression of functional cyclooxygenases in zebrafish
Study of the cyclooxygenases (COXs) has been limited by the role of COX-2 in murine reproduction and renal organogenesis. We sought to characterize COX expression and function in zebrafish (z). Full-length cDNAs of zCOX-1 and zCOX-2 were cloned and assigned to conserved regions of chromosomes 5 and 2, respectively. The deduced proteins are 67% homologous wit

12. Interaction of cyclooxygenases with an apoptosis- and autoimmunity-associated protein.
Cyclooxygenases (COXs) 1 and 2 are 72-kDa, intralumenal residents of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelope, where they catalyze the rate-limiting steps in the conversion of arachidonate to the physiologically dynamic prostanoids. Recent studies, including the generation of knockout mice, show COX-1 and COX-2 to have biologically distinct roles
