Abstract
Increasing amounts of experimental and clinical data support the role of selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibition in anti-inflammatory processes and the involvement of COX-1 inhibition in the side effects. associated with non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use. This review will focus on the differences in the structure of the COX-1 and COX-2 molecules, particularly the active site and how they are bound by various NSAIDs to achieve COX-2 selectivity. This COX-2 selectivity will then be characterized in pharmacological assays in vitro and in animal models in vivo. Finally, clinical information available for this new class of selective inhibitors will be discussed.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
