Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX-2 inhibitor (IC50s = 1.27 and 0.03 µM for the human and ovine enzymes, respectively). It is selective for COX-2 over COX-1 (IC50s = 70 and 22 µM for the human and ovine enzymes, respectively). Nimesulide also inhibits sodium-dependent neutral amino...

Lipases perform essential roles in the digestion, transportation, and processing of dietary lipids by controlling the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from the circulation. Manipulating lipolysis has therapeutic potential in the metabolic disorders frequently associated with obesity. Cayman's Lipase...

DuP-697 is a member of the diaryl heterocycle group of selective COX-2 inhibitors which includes MK-966 (rofecoxib), SC-58125, and celecoxib. DuP-697 is a potent and time-dependent inhibitor of COX-2. When tested on isolated recombinant enzymes, DuP-697 is at least 50 times more potent in the inhibition of COX-2...
