Abstract

The identification and characterization of the inducible form of cyclooxygenases (COX-2) stimulated the investigations to develop efficient, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with reduced side effects (essentially gastro-intestinal toxicity) compared to classical NSAIDs. This review focuses on the chemical and pharmacological properties (pre-clinical data) of marketed COX-2 inhibitors.

Keywords: cox-2 inhibitors, cox-2 selectivity, pre-clinical data
