Interpreting the clinical significance of the differential inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2

Abstract: The International Consensus Meeting on the Mode of Action of COX-2 Inhibition (ICMMAC) brought together 17 international experts in arthritis, gastroenterology and pharmacology on 5 6 December 1997. The meeting was convened to provide a definition of COX-2 specificity and to consider the clinical relevance of COX-2-specific agents. These compounds are a new class of drugs that specifically inhibit the enzyme COX-2 while having no effect on COX-1 across the whole therapeutic dose range. The objectives of the me… Show more

“…IM is a potent inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, both constitutive COX-1 and inducible COX-2 isoforms, which are responsible for prostanoids synthesis in tissues (Vane et al, 1998). It is assumed that whereas inhibition of COX-2 leads to supression of inflammation, drug inhibition of COX-1 is responsible for functional and structural alterations in the gastro-intestinal mucosa, if drug is ingested (Brooks et al, 1999). Nevertheless, this cyclooxygenase inhibition does not fully explain pathogenesis of the drug-induced enteropathy.…”

“…COX-2 selective inhibition has the potential value of reducing gastrointestinal system side effects, 9 while selectively inhibiting the inducible COX enzyme. 30 Early studies documented that the COX-2 expression was detected in synovial membrane biopsy samples from RA patients, but not in normal synovium. 28 Subacromial bursal tissue has a synovial microenvironment which shares very similar histologic features and cell types with RA synovium.…”

“…Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used systemic inhibitors of infl ammatory prostaglandin production by cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) (Brooks et al, 1999). In orthopaedic surgery the use of NSAIDs is under debate, as systemic NSAID treatment delays spinal fusion in patients and animal models (Thaller et al, 2005) and fracture healing of the long bones (Goodman et al, 2002;Gerstenfeld et al, 2003;Simon and O'Connor, 2007;Herbenick et al, 2008).…”
