General description

A cell-permeable, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic agent. Non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor (IC50 = 740 nM for COX-1; IC50 = 970 nM for COX-2). Inhibits phospholipase A2 (IC50 = 145 µM). Reported to reduce Aβ42 levels independently of COX activity.
A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, cell permeable, antipyretic agent. Non-selective COX inhibitor (IC50 = 740 nM for COX-1; IC50 = 970 nM for COX-2). Inhibits phospholipase A2 (IC50 = 145 µM). Strongly inhibits insoluble transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibril formation and suppresses production of Aβ-peptide and secreted form of APP by inhibition of APP mRNA levels in NG108-15 cells.

Epidemiological studies have documented a reduced prevalence of Alzheimer's disease among users of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It has been proposed that NSAIDs exert their beneficial effects in part by reducing neurotoxic inflammatory responses in the brain, although this mechanism

Cyclooxygenase (COX) synthesizes bioactive prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, and there are COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms with distinct pathophysiological functions. Recent studies demonstrated that COX-2 expression was up-regulated in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. We established mouse neuroblastoma x
