Inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX) are generally grouped according to selectivity for COX-1 versus COX-2. However, many COX inhibitors also show an antitumor, pro-apoptotic activity that is distinct from COX inhibition - celecoxib is an example. CAY10452 is a celecoxib analog that retains potent, selective COX-2...

Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) (Type IIA) is a calcium-dependent PLA2 superfamily member that is encoded by PLA2G2A in humans. It is composed of a highly-conserved calcium-binding loop, a catalytic domain, sPLA2 Type I- and II-specific disulfides that provide stability, and a C-terminal extension but lacks the...

Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic. It is active against Gram-positive bacteria, including various strains of S. pneumoniae, S. viridans, S. aureus, and S. epidermidis (MICs = 0.002-0.1, 0.005-0.2, 0.04-1.6, and 0.1-0.2 µg/ml, respectively). Clindamycin is also active against chloroquine-resistant and...
