Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and plays a special role in the process of inflammatory response. COX-2 is a target of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can effectively relieve inflammation, pain and fever responses by inhibiting COX-2. Despite the significant study progress of inhibitors targeting COX-2, the development of COX-2 degraders remains insufficient.

ARID1A, a core constituent of SWI/SNF complex, is mutated in approximately 10% of colorectal cancers (CRC). While ARID1A deficiency corresponds to heightened immune activity in CRC, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown limited efficacy in these tumors. The discovery of targetable vulnerabilities associated with ARID1A deficiency in CRC could expand treatment options for patients.

Mitochondria are complex organelle that plays a pivotal role in energy metabolism, regulation of stress responses, and also serve as a major hub for biosynthetic processes. In addition to their well-established function in cellular energetics, it also serves as the primary site for the origin of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which function as signaling molecules and can lead to oxidative stress when generated in excess. Moreover, mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the leading cause of neuroinflammation.

Characteristic symptoms of NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) include asthma, chronic eosinophilic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, cysteinyl LT (CysLT) overproduction and NSAIDs hypersensitivity. Some N-ERD patients present with episodic treatment-resistant extra-respiratory symptoms (CysLT-associated coronary artery vasospasm, gastroenteritis, or skin rash). Even when using standard treatments for respiratory and extra-respiratory symptoms, including systemic corticosteroids and aspirin desensitization, it is difficult to control the clinical symptoms and severe type 2 inflammation involved with mast cells, eosinophils, ILC2s, and platelet activation.

Rivaroxaban, in combination with low-dose aspirin, is associated with a reduction in proinflammatory and prothrombotic circulating vesicle signatures in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Background: Despite secondary prevention with aspirin, patients with stable cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain at elevated long-term risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. The Cardiovascular Outcomes in People Using Anticoagulant Strategies (COMPASS) double-blind, randomized clinical trial demonstrated that aspirin plus low-dose rivaroxaban (COMPASS regime) significantly decreased the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events by 24% compared with aspirin alone. However, the mechanisms underlying these potential synergistic/nonantithrombotic effects remain elusive.
