“…Molecular docking studies were performed in Maestro suite release 2020–3 employing Glide software. 50 , 51 The 3D structures of h COX-1 and h COX-2 (PDB IDs 6Y3C and 5KIR, respectively) were retrieved from the Protein Data Bank and acquiesced to the Protein Preparation Wizard protocol executed in Maestro for obtaining appropriate structures for the computational studies. The structures of the ligands were built in Maestro employing the available drawing tools, while energy minimization was achieved by using MacroModel program with OPLS-2005 as the force field.…”

A novel series of 12 antipyrine derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazoles ( 4a-d) , 1,3,4-thiadiazoles ( 6a - d) , and pyrimidines ( 8a - d) , was preparedand assessed for its potential in vitro COX-2 inhibitors. Compared to Celecoxib, compounds 4b-d and 8d were the most potent derivatives c with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration range of 53–69 nM. Considering COX-2 selectivity index, compounds 4 b and 4c were chosen among these most potent derivatives for further investigation. The in vivo ability of compounds 4 b and 4c to counteract carrageenan-induced paw edoema has been assessed and their potential underlying mechanisms have been elucidated and the results have been further validated using molecular docking simulations.

Depressive Disorder is a common mood disorder or affective disorder that is dominated by depressed mood. It is characterized by a high incidence and recurrence. The onset of depression is related to genetic, biological and psychosocial factors. However, the pathogenesis is still unclear. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of research on the inflammatory hypothesis of depression, in which cyclo-oxygen-ase 2 (COX-2), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is closely associated with depression. A variety of chemical drugs and natural products have been found to exert therapeutic effects by modulating COX-2 levels. This paper summarizes the relationship between COX-2 and depression in terms of neuroinflammation, intestinal flora, neurotransmitters, HPA axis, mitochondrial dysfunction and hippocampal neuronal damage, which can provide a reference for further preventive control, clinical treatment and scientific research on depression.
