SC-560 is a member of the diaryl heterocycle class of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors which includes celecoxib (Celebrex(TM)) and rofecoxib (Vioxx(TM)). However, unlike these selective COX-2 inhibitors, SC-560 is a selective inhibitor of COX-1. Using human recombinant enzymes, the IC50 value for SC-560 with respect...

Guaiacol is a phenolic natural product first isolated from Guaiac resin and the oxidation of lignin. Guaiacol is readily oxidized by the heme iron of peroxidases including the peroxidase of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. It therefore serves as a reducing co-substrate for COX reactions. The color yield per peroxide at...

Ebselen acts as a glutathione peroxidase mimic and is an excellent scavenger of peroxynitrite with a rate constant of 2 x 106 M-1s-1. The glutathione peroxidase-like activity of ebselen inhibits cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenases at micromolar concentrations.Formal Name: 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one. CAS...

Prostaglandins are rapidly inactivated in vivo by the action of 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-hydroxy PGDH). This enzyme oxidizes the 15-hydroxyl group and hydrogenates the 13,14-double bond, producing 13,14-dihydro-15 keto metabolites with greatly reduced biological activity. CAY10397 is a selective...
